Have look at the german Ecoworxx brand. They do the whole job, grinding, mixing, humidifying and pelletizing in one vertical unit, and they are made for wood pelletizing. I don't sell them in any other area than Spain, so please don't ban this as commercial. It's just that they are made for he job !
