The high performance of Magic pellet mills
Magic pellet mills were one of the most popular product ranges that Ceccato Olindo, a company from Arsego (Padua) specialised in the production of machines for processing plant residues, presented at the last EIMA International. Magic is a line of pellet mills intended mainly for hobby use. They consist of three electric models (3, 5.5 and 7.5 Hp), and one model with PTO power connected to the tractor. The Magic pellet mills, as the manufacturer explains, are easy-to-use working tools for the production of pellets for stoves and boilers, which can also be used by inexperienced operators. The four models work above all with plant waste derived from the pruning of hedges, olive trees, vineyards and all varieties of trees, and this makes it possible to reduce home heating costs to a minimum. Hourly production ranges from a minimum of 30 to a maximum of 50 kilos, depending on the type of machine used. Ceccato Olindo's pellet mills are equipped with wheels that make them easier to move and which, says a technical note from the Veneto-based company, are made of a special rubber mixture. The design of the wheels - explains the Padua-based company - has been studied to optimise performance by preventing stones or other material from getting stuck in the tread. The Magic pellet mills are entirely manufactured in Italy and their weight varies, depending on the model, from 135 to 160 kilos.
