Why are my pellet mill producing black pellets that are slow to discharge and hard? The blackening of pellets produced by a pellet mill is usually due to the following reasons:

3. Moldy raw materials: Raw materials exposed to wind and rain for years may become moldy and black. After being pressed into pellets, these will also be black.

To avoid carbonization and blackening of pellets, it is necessary to select appropriate raw materials and moisture content.
