Wood Pellet Machine Canada

Project Background

This Canadian client is based in a province rich in forest resources. He originally ran a small woodworking and sawmill business. As the biomass fuel market began to grow, he started planning to turn the sawdust that was previously wasted into higher-value fuel products.

However, transitioning from traditional woodworking to wood pellet machine Canada project came with many challenges. The biggest issue was his lack of experience with pellet machinery. He was especially concerned about operational complexity and equipment durability. In the past, he had tried using a small pellet machine, but it was difficult to operate and produced pellets with inconsistent quality.

Considering Canada’s cold climate, along with the strict quality requirements for pellets used in stoves and boilers, the client needed a machine that was both reliable and easy to operate. A stable system would help him handle the tough working conditions and meet the necessary fuel standards.

Why It Matters

This wood pellet machine Canada project demonstrates how small sized businesses can successfully shift from traditional wood processing to biomass energy production with support from RICHI. For clients with limited experience, ease of operation and equipment durability are often the top priorities.

RICHI provided a customized solution based on the client’s specific needs. We helped transform wood waste into high-quality biomass pellets efficiently. Resulting in a production system that is both high-performing and easy to manage.

More importantly, this case also highlights how localized pellet production supports Canada’s renewable energy goals. At the same time, it helps reduce waste generated by sawmills. For businesses looking to make a similar transition, choosing reliable pellet equipment is essential. By offering user-friendly machines, robust designs, and full technical support, RICHI is helping more Canadian enterprises move toward a sustainable energy future.

Project Background

This client operates a medium-sized wood processing facility in Eastern Canada. Due to long, harsh winters, raw materials such as sawdust and wood chips are often stored outdoors. Over time, snow and frost accumulate on the material surface, and bark, sand, and other impurities can get mixed in.

When the client decided to invest in a 2-2.5 T/H wood pellet machine Canada production line, they faced two major concerns: first, surface frost on raw materials would reduce drying efficiency and affect stable operation; second, impurities caused severe wear on pellet machine dies, leading to frequent downtime and higher maintenance costs.

The client had previously experimented with small pellet mills, but gave up due to poor mold durability and unstable output. For this project, they needed a more robust and adaptable pelletizing system—one that could handle frosted and impure materials while delivering consistent, high-quality pellets for both heating and export.

Why It Matters

This wood pellet machine Canada project demonstrates our deep understanding of regional raw material characteristics and the real-world technical issues that clients face. In Canada, outdoor-stored biomass like sawdust often contains frost and various impurities. These elements accelerate wear on pellet mill dies and jeopardize the entire production process. This is a common pain point among small and medium-sized forestry businesses across the country.

To solve this, RICHI integrated an enhanced pre-cleaning system and provided custom-made wear-resistant dies. This fundamentally solved the problems of rapid wear and poor pellet formation. The result was a stable and efficient production flow that could reliably turn inconsistent materials into export-quality wood pellets.

More importantly, this project highlights the adaptability of RICHI pellet machines in complex environments. Our wood pellet machine all engineered to meet the real challenges Canadian producers face. With this, the client transformed forestry by-products into long-term economic value, proving that RICHI machines deliver both performance and peace of mind.

Project Background

The client is a Canadian sawmill and wood processing company that has long focused on log cutting and lumber production. This process consistently generated large volumes of by-products—mainly sawdust and wood chips with 50% moisture content—which were previously sold at low prices or discarded.

With growing international demand for biomass fuel, particularly in markets like the UK, Japan, and Italy, the client identified a valuable opportunity. They chose to upgrade their business model by investing in a biomass pellet project that could turn waste into profit.

However, challenges included limited factory space (originally designed for sawmilling), complex building structures, and raw material moisture levels. The client needed a compact, export-standard production line that could operate efficiently under spatial constraints. This called for a fully customized wood pellet mill Canada solution.

Client Perspective

"Your team have helped us to turn our waste into profit. The system is running stably and the first batch of export passed the inspection. We are planning to add a new high-grade pellet production line."

Project Background

The client is a large-scale wood processing company based in British Columbia, Canada. With increasing demand for wood pellets in Japan and the European Union, the company aimed to expand its biomass fuel business through the construction of a 5T/H production line tailored for export.

However, two critical concerns emerged during project planning:

1. Pellet Quality Consistency: To meet stringent export standards, the client needed assurance that finished pellets would maintain uniform density, shape, and ash content.
2. Energy and Automation Integration: The facility required that the entire system be compatible with the site’s existing power infrastructure, while also supporting centralized control and automated fault monitoring to streamline daily operations.

Why It Matters

This project highlights RICHI’s ability to deliver export-oriented pellet solutions that meet the strictest international standards. By engineering for consistency in pellet density and ash content, RICHI ensures that clients are not only producing pellets but producing pellets that pass customs inspections and meet buyer specifications—an essential factor in premium export markets like Japan and the EU.

Moreover, the successful integration of the pellet production line with the client’s factory-level automation and power infrastructure reflects RICHI’s engineering versatility. From process layout to control systems, every component was designed with efficiency, compatibility, and long-term operability in mind. For high-output producers in Canada aiming to enter the global biomass fuel market, this project stands as a benchmark of what a professional-grade pellet mill system can achieve.
