What is a wood pellet manufacturing plant?
— Richi Machinery —
brief introduction
Wood pellet manufacturing plant is a kind of complete system to turn raw biomass materials into the wood pellet. The raw biomass materials include wood, wood chip, sawdust and even some agricultural residues. The uniform and high-density wood pellet can be widely used as a fuel for burning, heating or industrial power generation. It is a kind of energy-saving line.
The typical production line include crushing, drying, pelletizing, cooling and packaging. It can cut the labor input and offer a continuous producing. This type of production line play an important part in reducing the industrial energy waste and supporting the sustainable energy development. It is very suitable for companies which looking for ways to enter the biomass fuel market.
Usage
The wood pellet manufacturing plant is mainly used to process various wood residues and agro-forestry biomass into renewable energy pellets, widely used in heating systems, biomass boilers, and power plants.
Raw materials
sawdust, wood shavings, wood chips, branches, bamboo powder, straw, palm shells, peanut shells, and other agro-forestry residues.

wood pellet manufacturing plant Components & Working Process
A complete wood pellet production line should equipped with several integrated machines and have a general working process. The machines include chipper, crusher, dryer, pelletizer, cooler, packer and so on. The typical working process is: raw material preparation-wood chipping &crushing-sawdust drying-wood pelletizing-wood cooling & packing. The concrete steps and the needed equipment are as follow:
1. Raw material preparation
Prepare all kinds of biomass materials, such as wood chips, sawdust tree branches and so on. In a word, any forestry wastes can be used as the processed material.
2. Chipping& Crushing step
If the diameter of some material is over 50mm, use a wood chipper to cut them into uniform sheets. If the raw material is light, such as the alfalfa, grass of the straw, use a specialized grass crusher.
3. Drying
In order to reduce the moisture content of the biomass, drying the raw material is very important. The best moisture content before pelletizing is about10%-15%, using a rotary dryer to achieve this goal.
4. Pelletizing
This is the core process of the whole wood pellet manufacturing plant. Fed the well-prepared biomass into the biomass pellet mill. Through pressure and heat, the pellet machine can compress dried biomass into uniform, high-density wood pellet.
5. Cooling
High-temperature treated pellets are too soft to be molded or packed, thus need a counter-flow feed pellet cooler to reduce their temperature. This step can make sure the pellet to be hard and durable, ready for the following process.
6. Packing
Using a rotary grading screen to separate out the powder feed. Then, the packaging scale system is activated to weigh, fill, and seal the pellet feed.
