Price Of Complete 1-1.5 T/h Wood Pellet Production Line In Italy

Italy is an importer of wood pellets. If you build a 1-1.5t/h wood pellet production line in Italy, you don't have to worry about market demand. Recently, an Italian customer consulted us and said:"Dear Richi Machinery! I'm Patrik Zulian from Italy. I would like to know the approximate price in euro or dollars of your line: 1-1.5 T/H Wood Pellet Line including mounting and coaching of a your engineer. I read other information on your web site. Thank you! "

1-1.5 T/H Wood Pellet Line Price

Many wood pellet making machine manufacturer keeps confidential about the price of wood pellet production line. However, it is actually possible to give the range of wood pellet production line price. Generally speaking, the 1-1.5t/h wood pellet production line price is between US$50,000-200,000.

1-1.5T/H wood pellet production line process flow

Do you feel that the price difference is very large? In fact, this is normal, because each customer's needs correspond to different wood pellet production line equipment configurations, and the differences may be very large. For example, some customers' raw materials are dry wood chips, and they may only need equipment such as pelletizers, conveyors, coolers, packaging machines, etc.

If they are packaged manually, they may not even need packaging machines; some customers' raw materials are fresh For the felled tree trunks, they need a series of pre-processing equipment such as wood splitters, slicers, and pulverizers. If the moisture does not meet the requirements for pelleting, they also need to configure a wood drying machine.

1-1.5 T/H Wood Pellet Production Line Process Suitable For Italy

1-1.5T/H wood pellet production line in Italy can not only make small wood pellets with different diameter, but also can product different kind of raw material. Wood logs, wood chips, sawdust and other wood residues including pine wood are also suitable materials for making pellets with the pellet production line.

Mostly an integral wood pellet production line in Italy is composed of wood chipper/skiving machine, hammer mill, conveyor, wood dryer, cooler, wood pellet machine and package machine. In fact, except the main wood pellet mill, not all other auxiliary equipment is essential for a pellet plant. You should drop one or two equipment depending on your production scale and make your own customized pellet plan. For small pellet production plan, you can drop some kind of wood pellet line equipment to save money.

Italy 1-1.5T/H wood pellet production line process design

01

Raw Materials Preparation

In the 1-1.5t/h wood pellet production line in Italy , wood pellets are usually made from clean conifer sawdust and planer shavings. The wood must have been debarked prior to passing through the sawmill. Sawdust of hardwoods can be mixed in with that of softwood, but successful production of hardwood pellets without binders is more difficult.

If at all possible, dry sawdust and shavings (less than 15% moisture content) are used, because then the drying step can be skipped. If the sawdust is wetter, a drying process is needed before pellets can be pressed. Sometimes a small amount of wood chip is added during the drying process to increase the amount of feedstock; this is then pulverised in the wood pellet hammer mill.

Alternatively, where production of wood pellets directly from roundwood is envisaged, this will require additional debarking and chipping steps in the process, which can add significantly to cost. Since chips are many times the size of sawdust, a single pass through a wood hammer mill might not be sufficient to obtain the required fine material for the pelletizing process; an additional pass through may be required. Chips dry at a slower rate than sawdust, so a much largerdrying capacity is needed if roundwood is the wood supply for the 1-1.5t/h wood pellet production line in Italy.

02

Reception and intermediate storage of the sawdust

In this section of 1-1.5t/h wood pellet production line in Italy, all sawdust coming in should be weighed on the weighbridge and samples taken to determine the moisture content. For storage it is preferable to separate wet and dry sawdust. Wet sawdust can be stored for a short period out in the open. The moisture content is not too badly affected if some rain falls on the base material, and wet sawdust does not blow about as easily.

Dry sawdust should be stored indoors immediately to prevent the material getting wet. If the material is stored outside, the sawdust can blow about and create dust hazards. Very high levels of dust are encountered in buildings as dry sawdust is being unloaded.

All personnel, including the delivery vehicle driver, should wear a dust mask at all times during and after unloading. Vehicle windows should be kept closed while they are inside the building.

In large plants that handle a lot of sawdust, under-pressure in the building is created to retain the dust inside. The exit gate from the building is equipped with an airbrush system that blows sawdust from the outside of the vehicles before they leave.

In the reception building it is possible to mix the sawdust before it goes into the wood pellet hammer mill, so hardwood sawdust could be mixed in at this stage.

03

Drying and possibly intermediate storage again

The wet sawdust needs to be dried before wood hammer milling as wet sawdust requires much more energy to reduce the particle size than when it is dry. There is also a significant risk of screens becoming clogged or smeared.

Drying section of 1-1.5t/h wood pellet production line in Italy can either be done in a drum drier, a so-called flash dryer that works with high temperatures, or on a flatbed dryer, which works at a relatively low temperature. The first option is better suited for fine material, while coarse material needs a lower temperature. So, if chips are going to be mixed in, a flatbed drier is preferable.

It is likely that the throughput capacity of the wood dryer will be less than the rest of the system, so there should be a facility for intermediate storage of dried sawdust after the wood sawdsut dryer.

The heat for the wood dryer can be supplied by any kind of fuel, e.g. gas, oil or even biomass. The biomass boiler could use bark, wood chips, short rotation coppice or other wood waste that is not suitable for wood pellet production line.

04

Screening for foreign materials such as stones and metal

Before the sawdust can be passed to the wood pellet hammer mill for homogenising, it has to be screened for stones, pieces of metal, plastic etc. Stone is usually removed by a stone trap, where the sawdust passes at speed over an opening.

Sawdust should also be passsed over a magnet that removes metal objects. Foreign particles in the sawdust are likely to damage the press or could conceivably cause sparks in the wood pellet hammer mill, which might lead to a dust explosion.

05

Hammer-milling and possibly intermediate storage

The homogenising of the sawdust to an even-sized feedstock for the pellet presses takes place in the wood hammer mill. Here small lumps of wood, dead knots, etc. are pulverised, so that they can pass through the matrix of the presses. The mixing of the material is also completed here.

The hammer mill for wood sawdust should be equipped with a venting hatch to the outside of the building. If a dust explosion occurs, the membrane in the escape hatch will blow out and ventilate part of the pressure to the outside of the building.

The opening of the vent on the outside of the building needs to be located at a sufficient height or cordoned off in a way that reduces the propensity for injury to any bystander or passer-by in the event of an explosion.

Again, the wood pellet hammer mill crusher will not necessarily have the same capacity as the presses, so there should be an intermediate store of hammer-milled material. This material is very fine and very dry, so precautions against fire should be taken.

06

Making the wood pellets

In this section of 1-1.5t/h wood pellet production line in Italy, the homogenising of the sawdust to an even-sized feedstock for the wood pellet machine takes place in the wood pellet hammer mill. Here small lumps of wood, dead knots, etc. are pulverised, so that they can pass through the matrix of the pellets machine italy.

The mixing of the material is also completed here. The hammer-mill should be equipped with a venting hatch to the outside of the building. If a dust explosion occurs, the membrane in the escape hatch will blow out and ventilate part of the pressure to the outside of the building.

The opening of the vent on the outside of the building needs to be located at a sufficient height or cordoned off in a way that reduces the propensity for injury to any bystander or passer-by in the event of an explosion.

Again, the hammer mill for wood chips will not necessarily have the same capacity as the wood pellet machines, so there should be an intermediate store of hammer-milled material. This material is very fine and very dry, so precautions against fire should be taken. 

Many wood pellet mill machine need the sawdust to be warmed up to 120- 130°C using dry steam. The heat makes the lignin in the wood become more plastic which helps to stick the particles together. The sawdust is extruded through a matrix and the pellets are cut off on the outside of the matrix.

The matrix can either be standing, with the wood pellet machine pressure rollers moving on its inside, or can be lying down with the rollers moving over the matrix in a revolving fashion. The wood is pressed through the matrix under very high pressure.

Vegetable oil is added to lubricate the last pellets at the end of a working period. The matrix will then slowly cool off with the lubricated pellets in the holes of the matrix. If this is not done, the last pellets may become stuck in the matrix, making it difficult to start the wood pellet machine again.

The oilsaturated pellets can be returned to the wood pellet machine again the next time it is due to be stopped. Usually the wood pellet mills are kept operating overnight, because the matrix and the whole wood pelletizer machine operate best at an elevated temperature. Many wood pellet plants operate from Monday morning until Friday afternoon on a continuous basis.

This is another reason for having intermediate storage following drying and hammer-milling, otherwise the wood pellet press can run out of raw material if it is in continuous operation for periods of up to five days.

07

Cooling of the pellets

Once the pellets leave the press, they are plastic and hot. During cooling section of the 1-1.5t/h wood pellet production line in Italy, the pellets become rigid and lose moisture, so that the final moisture content after the cooler can be as low as 6%. They will take up moisture from the surrounding air and stabilise at a content of between 8 and 10%. After cooling the pellets are transported by conveyor belt to the storage shed, where they condition.

08

Storage an bagging

Pellets should be screened for fines before packaging or delivery. The fines can be returned to the wood pellet production line. If the pellets are destined for the domestic market, many customers prefer to receive them in bags. These bags typically come in 12, 15 or 20 kg sizes.

It is also possible to ship the pellets in one tonne bags or in bulk. The small bags are usually delivered on pallets of 960 kg or one tonne. These pallets are wrapped in plastic and can withstand moisture well. Small bags are, however, a better guarantor of quality, since the pellets are less subject to abrasion during delivery.

Pellets delivered in bulk can be transported by truck, tipped off at the receiving end, or be transported by a vacuum vehicle that sucks up the pellets in the factory and blows them into the silo at the receiving end. These trucks are also equipped with weigh cells so that they can measure the exact amount that is delivered.

Pellets delivered by truck should always be dumped inside a building or in absolutely dry weather conditions as they will rapidly take up moisture, swell and disintegrate if exposed to water. The truck should always be carefully covered with a water-tight tarpaulin to keep rain out.

09

Storage

During summer, the production of wood pellets probably exceeds the demand and the pellets may have to be stored for several months. The storage facility should be constructed of high concrete side walls that can withstand the pressure of the pellets.

A cubic metre of pellets weighs around 650 kg, so if they are stored at a height of 5-6 m, a considerable pressure is exerted at the bottom of the pile. As stated, pellets easily disintegrate once they get wet, so it is very important that the building is water-tight, to prevent rain or condensation.
