What generation level does the PELLETINDIA 3022-2.5 pellet mill represent compared to Other 8th Generation ?
The PELLETINDIA 3022-2.5 and the 8th Gen Other’s Pellet Mill (160 kW) are two different models from well-known pellet mill manufacturers — PELLETINDIA (Servoday Plants & Equipments Limited) from the Gujarat, India and Other’s from China. Here’s a detailed comparison of their design, performance, build quality, and pellet output characteristics such as GCV and density:
🔧 1. Design & Engineering Quality
| Feature | PELLETINDIA 3022-2.5 | Other’s 8th Gen (160 kW) |
| Origin | Make in India (High-grade industrial engineering) | China (Mid-range, mass-production focused) |
| Build Quality | Heavy-duty cast steel, designed for 24/7 industrial operation | Lighter frame, suitable for medium-duty operation |
| Pellet Mill Type | Ring Die, Gear-Driven | Ring Die, Gear-Driven |
| Gearbox | One-piece cast gearbox, with pressurized lubrication, very durable | Gearbox with standard oil bath, less durable under heavy loads |
| Service Life | 10-15+ years with maintenance | 4-6 years with maintenance |
✅ Verdict: PELLETINDIA 3022-2.5 is better engineered for long-term industrial use.
⚙️ 2. Motor & Power
| Specification | PELLETINDIA 3022-2.5 | Other’s (8th Gen) |
| Main Motor | 160 kW (Siemens/ABB class motors) | 160 kW (typically Chinese brand motors) |
| Feeder + Conditioner | Separate motors for precise control | Integrated feeding, less control accuracy |
✅ Verdict: Both use 160 kW, but PELLETINDIA’s motor system and feeding precision are superior for quality consistency.
🔄 3. Output Capacity
| Parameter | PELLETINDIA 3022-2.5 | Other’s |
| Wood Pellets (High density) | 2.2 to 2.5 TPH (actual consistent) | 1.8 to 2.2 TPH (variable) |
| Biomass Pellets (mixed materials) | 2 to 2.5 TPH | 1.5 to 2 TPH |
✅ Verdict: PELLETINDIA is more consistent under full load, especially for high-density materials like wood or torrefied biomass.
🌡️ 4. Pellet Quality: GCV, Density & Durability
| Metric | PELLETINDIA 3022-2.5 | Other’s |
| Pellet Density | 650–750 kg/m³ | 600–700 kg/m³ |
| GCV Output Potential | Higher due to compression & die precision | Moderate due to less compaction pressure |
| Pellet Durability Index (PDI) | 95–98% (very high) | 85–90% (medium-high) |
✅ Verdict: PELLETINDIA produces denser, harder, and higher energy pellets. Better for exports, industrial boilers, and power plants.
🔧 5. Die & Roller Design
| Aspect | PELLETINDIA | Other’s |
| Die Quality | European standard, chrome-alloyed dies | Chinese-grade dies, shorter life |
| Changeover Time | Quick-change system, efficient | Manual, more downtime |
| Spare Parts Life | Longer (800–1200 hours) | Shorter (400–600 hours) |
✅ Verdict: PELLETINDIA die/roller assembly is more durable and produces uniform pellets.
🛠️ 6. Maintenance & Downtime
| Feature | PELLETINDIA | Other’s |
| Maintenance Required | Less frequent, mostly preventive | Frequent due to part wear |
| Automation | Advanced lubrication, grease pumps | Manual or basic automatic greasing |
✅ Verdict: PELLETINDIA minimizes downtime with easier maintenance and automation.
💰 7. Cost & ROI
| Item | PELLETINDIA 3022-2.5 | Other’s |
| Initial Cost | Higher (Premium Machine) | Lower (Budget Option) |
| Operational Cost | Lower over time (due to durability) | Higher (frequent part replacement) |
| Return on Investment | Higher ROI if running 24/7 | Suitable for small to mid-scale projects |
🏆 Final Recommendation: Which is Best?
| Application | Best Choice |
| Industrial Pellet Plant (24×7, export quality) | ✅ PELLETINDIA 3022-2.5 |
| Medium scale, local market, budget-conscious | ✅ Other’s (8th Gen) |
| Pellet Density, GCV, Long-Term Durability | ✅ PELLETINDIA 3022-2.5 |
| Initial Budget-Friendly Setup | ✅ Other’s |
✅ However, in terms of technological maturity and evolution, the PELLETINDIA 3022-2.5 can be considered:
🔹 Equivalent to or above the 10th generation level compared to other Chinese brands.
🟢 Conclusion
If quality, GCV, pellet density, and long-term ROI are priorities — PELLETINDIA 3022-2.5 is superior.
If you’re setting up a budget-friendly project for local biomass or cattle feed pellet use — Other’s is adequate.
