In general, flat die home pellet mills are normally used in small scale pellet production due to their simple design and lower weight, while ring die pellet mills are commonly used in larger scale production. The flat die design was the first design of pellet mill to emerge at the beginning of the 20th century. Pellet mills were originally focused on the animal feed industry, and this was the case up until the 1970's, when the first experiments producing wood pellet fuel were conducted.
