Bran Pellets

Wheat bran pellets are made from wheat bran, a by-product of flour and grits production, which chiefly consists of husks and variable proportions of the endosperm, by adding a suitable binder (e.g. 1 - 3% of molasses, fat or colloidal clays) and then pressing the composition under high pressure in pelletizing machines or extruders to form cylindrically shaped pellets.

From a transportation standpoint, pellets generally have the same characteristics as the original plant residues, in particular in terms of the product's oil and water content.

Risk Factor:

  • Contamination
  • Infestation
  • Wheat bran pellets are liable to the risk of self-heating/spontaneous combustion.
