[USCC] Pelletizing equipment for compost

[ConSulInc@aol.com]

A pellet mill, used to create pellets for animal feed (such as affalfa  
pellets), works well and can be obtained used. They are simple, easy to clean  
and maintain. 
Depending on the dryness and degradability of the material you may need to  
use a binder. Years ago when pelletizing an organically enhanced fertilizer 
(50%  composted poultry litter and 50% commercial fertilizer fines) we used 
a  slight amount of molasses in the blend, which proved quite successful.

Greetings Composters,

I am looking for information  about pelletizing compost and/or
biosolids to reach additional markets, for  ease of spreading, and for
storage.  Does anyone know who makes  equipment for such a  purpose and any
information about how well it  works?  I'd also love to find out if anyone
you know of is doing  that.

Thank you!
