Here is a brief description of pellets transportation of pellet extruder for wood:
Instead of screw augers, bucket elevators are used to transport the pellets from one operation to another. A bucket elevator is simply a set of rotating buckets. The pellets are fed via gravity down to the bucket elevator where every few seconds a bucket will emerge from the bottom to collect a few pellets at a time, and gently move them up to the next process.
For pellets produced by wood pellet extruder, various sizes and speeds of bucket elevator are available, and are the preferred choice for transporting pellets to the cooler or bagging/storage facility.
