Biomass Pellet Production Plant Project design
RICHI designs and installs numerous biomass pelleting lines with systems recognized for their reliability and durability. With 30 years of experience, RICHI MACHINERY provides its expertise on each step of the production, cost optimization and customization of the production line and of the single machines in order for you to be at the forefront of Biomass pellet production. So, how to make biomass pellets? Let's take a look at the standard biomass pellet manufacturing process. (In the design of biomass pellet process, raw materials are the most critical factor. Different raw materials have very different pellet processing procedures.)

Raw material preparation

According to the production plan, different types of biomass raw materials (such as wood chips, straw, fruit shells, etc.) are strictly inspected for quality, including moisture content detection (controlled at 20-30%), impurity removal (metal, stone, etc.) and preliminary sorting.

Coarse crushing

High-fiber raw materials require a two-stage pulverization process, or even a three-stage pulverization. This process uses different coarse pulverization equipment according to the characteristics of the raw materials (such as wood, straw, etc.), such as shredders, slicers, bale breakers, template crushers, etc.

Fine crushing

The fine crushing process is a key link to ensure the quality of pellets. Hammer mills, forage crushers, ultra-fine crushers and other equipment are used to further crush the raw materials to a particle size of 3mm. Provide ideal raw material characteristics for subsequent pelleting.

Drying

The drying section uses a three-channel drum dryer, and the moisture content of the material after drying must be stable between 12-15%. The heat source can be a biomass combustion furnace, natural gas or steam heat exchanger, hot air furnace, etc., and the customer can choose according to the actual situation.

Pellet forming

The core equipment of the pelletizing section is the biomass ring die pelletizer. The die aperture is selected according to the product requirements, and the compression ratio is configured to be 1:5 to 1:8. Different types of biomass pelletizers are selected according to different raw materials.

cooling

The cooling section adopts a countercurrent cooler, and the processing capacity matches the pelletizing output. After the high-temperature pellets (80-90℃) pass through the cooling tower, the temperature drops to room temperature ±5℃, and the cooling time is 15-25 minutes.

Screening

The screening section adopts a three-layer probability screen. Qualified particles are collected through the middle screen, and the screening efficiency is required to be ≥95%. The oversized particles are reused after crushing, and the crushed particles are directly returned to the crushing section.

packaging

The packaging section is equipped with an automatic quantitative packaging machine, and the packaging specifications include 25kg/bag, 50kg/bag, 1 ton/bag and other specifications. The sewing equipment includes thermoplastic sealing and thread sewing.

Auxiliary system

The auxiliary system includes pneumatic conveying (wind speed 18-22m/s), pulse dust removal (filtration accuracy 0.3μm), raw material silo (storage capacity 3-7 days of production), automatic control (PLC+SCADA) and other subsystems.

Finished Product

Finished pellet products are divided into three standards according to their use: fuel grade, feed grade and industrial grade, and the corresponding national standards or industry standards are implemented respectively.

This design comes from our US biomass pellet processing project. The production line is specially designed to process various types of wood processing residues, including pine wood chips (50%), hardwood scraps (30%) and other engineered wood waste (20%), and produce 6mm diameter high-quality wood pellets that meet the ENplus A1 standard.

As the world's largest producer and consumer of wood pellets, the United States has a complete biomass energy industry chain and market system. According to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the production of wood pellets in the United States will exceed 12 million tons in 2023, of which about 65% will be exported to the European market and 35% will be supplied to domestic cogeneration projects.

At the same time, the U.S. wood processing industry produces more than 50 million tons of wood chips, scraps and other residues each year, and there is still room for improvement in resource utilization. Against this industrial background, a large energy company in North Carolina decided to invest in the construction of this 10T/H wood pellet production line, aiming to further integrate the resources of the southeastern wood industry and expand the production capacity of high-quality pellet fuel.

From the perspective of profit prospects, the project has obvious advantages in the US and export markets. Based on the 10T/H capacity, the annual output can reach 70,000 tons, and the products can be supplied to the European export market and local industrial users at the same time. Considering the cost advantage of raw materials in the United States, the scale effect and the impact of the European carbon border tax, the expected investment payback period is only 3-4 years.

This design comes from our Indian biomass pellet processing project. The production line is specially designed to process paper and plastic mixtures in municipal solid waste (60% paper and 40% plastic), produce standardized RDF pellets with a diameter of 8-10mm, and a calorific value of 4000-4500kcal/kg.

As a rapidly developing emerging economy, India faces increasingly severe challenges in municipal solid waste management. According to data from the Indian Ministry of Environment, the country generates about 62 million tons of municipal solid waste each year, of which 15-20% is recyclable paper and plastic mixtures. Traditional landfill treatment not only occupies valuable land resources, but also causes serious environmental pollution.

At the same time, the Indian government is promoting the "waste to energy" program to encourage the conversion of combustible waste into alternative fuels. In this context, an environmental protection company in the suburbs of Mumbai decided to invest in the construction of this 2-2.5T/H RDF (Refuse Derived Fuel) pellet production line, aiming to convert urban waste into industrial fuel with high calorific value.

  6. The pelletizing section uses an enhanced MZLH520 ring die pelletizer with a main motor power of 160kW
  7. According to the characteristics of plastics, the ring die adopts a low compression ratio of 1:4 and special materials
  8. The cooling system adopts an extended countercurrent cooler to ensure that the particles are fully cooled
  9. The screening section is equipped with a double-layer vibrating screen to remove unqualified particles
  10. The fully automatic packaging system supports 25kg standard packaging and can complete 80 packages per hour
  11. The entire line is equipped with an explosion-proof dust removal system to ensure a safe production environment

In addition to paper-plastic mixtures, the biomass pellet production line can also process a variety of combustible wastes: waste textiles, rubber products, dry organic waste, etc. This raw material flexibility can help customers cope with market changes.

The main equipment configuration includes: double-shaft shredder, wear-resistant pulverizer, indirect dryer, MZLH520 granulator, countercurrent cooler and automatic packaging system. All equipment is anti-corrosion treated and the electrical system complies with Indian safety standards. The control system is equipped with a local language interface and remote monitoring function.

From the perspective of profit prospects, the project has great potential in the Indian market. Based on the 2.2T/H capacity, the annual output can reach 16,000 tons, mainly supplying industrial users within a radius of 200 kilometers. Considering government subsidies, raw material cost advantages and current RDF market prices, the estimated investment payback period is only 18-24 months.

1

Market Research & Feasibility Study

This is the prerequisite for the success of any biomass pellet production line project. At this stage, the fuel pellet demand, major competitors, policy support, energy substitution trends, environmental regulations and potential customers in the target market should be systematically studied. Evaluate the types of raw materials, seasonal supply stability and price fluctuations. Determine the economic feasibility and investment priority of the project through return on investment analysis (ROI), cash flow analysis, policy risk assessment, etc. It is recommended to entrust a professional organization to write a feasibility report at this stage.

2

Raw Material Evaluation & Logistics Planning

The core of biomass pellets is stable raw materials and consistent quality, so it is necessary to clarify the types of raw materials (such as wood chips, crop straw, fruit shells, etc.), annual output, moisture content, ash content, calorific value, etc. Then plan the raw material collection system, transportation method (bulk truck, belt conveyor, packaging collection and transportation) and transit storage warehouse. Design a reasonable raw material pretreatment process such as crushing and drying to ensure the subsequent granulation efficiency and stable granule quality. This stage directly determines the subsequent operating costs and production continuity.

3

Site Selection & Civil Engineering Layout

The site should be close to the raw material production area or distribution center to facilitate raw material transportation and reduce logistics costs. It should have good water and electricity supply conditions, convenient transportation, and meet land use policies and environmental protection requirements. The civil engineering design needs to consider the functional area division: raw material receiving area, pretreatment area, main production area, finished product storage area, office and living area, etc. The architectural design must meet the specifications of equipment layout, equipment maintenance space, dust prevention, drainage, fire protection and safety passages. The height and load-bearing capacity of the plant should also match the equipment selection.

4

Process Flow & Production Line Design

Based on the raw material characteristics and production capacity requirements (such as 1~20t/h), design a reasonable process flow of the biomass pellet production line, which generally includes raw material reception - crushing - drying - fine crushing - granulation - cooling - screening - packaging - finished product storage. Select the appropriate equipment model and parameters, and reasonably arrange the equipment and material passages of each section to achieve continuous and automated operation. At the same time, consider the adaptability of multiple raw materials, energy-saving efficiency and spare equipment configuration to improve the stability and maintainability of the system.

5

Equipment Selection & Procurement

The quality and matching degree of equipment directly affect the stability of pellet production and product quality. Including primary crusher, hammer crusher, drum dryer, cold press ring die pellet machine, cooler, screening machine, packaging machine, dust collector, etc. Choose a manufacturer with a good reputation, sufficient supply of accessories, and fast after-sales response to avoid the maintenance troubles caused by using low-cost and low-quality equipment. The equipment procurement contract should clearly specify key terms such as installation and commissioning, training, warranty period, and technical support terms.

6

Installation, Construction & Commissioning

After the civil construction is completed, the equipment enters the plant installation phase. It should be installed by a professional construction team according to the drawings and procedures, paying attention to the stability of the equipment foundation, the centering and axis of the equipment, the accurate linkage of the conveying system, and the fire and explosion safety configuration. The electrical wiring, water vapor system, and automatic control system are laid out simultaneously. Then, no-load and load debugging are carried out to optimize the parameters of each system and adjust the coordination efficiency between equipment to ensure that the entire biomass pellet production line operates stably and produces pellet fuel that meets the standards.

7

Environmental Protection & Safety Systems

During the production of biomass pellets, dust, noise, exhaust gas, and heat energy must be controlled within the legal range. It is necessary to be equipped with a pulse dust removal system, exhaust system, silencer, sewage discharge treatment device, etc. And install video monitoring, temperature sensors, alarms, explosion-proof doors, electrical automatic power-off and other safety protection systems, especially in the high-temperature areas of drying and pelletizing. Improve the layout of the fire protection system (fire extinguishers, sprinkler systems), formulate emergency plans and job operation procedures, and ensure the safety of personnel and equipment.

8

Staff Training & Production Launch

After the installation and commissioning of the biomass pellet production line equipment is completed, organize operators, maintenance personnel, quality inspectors, safety personnel and other personnel to carry out systematic training. The training content includes equipment operation specifications, production processes, troubleshooting, daily maintenance, product quality control, safety emergency handling, etc. Establish a standard operation manual and job responsibility system. After the trial production is qualified, continuous monitoring and adjustment will be carried out to ensure that production reaches the target.

(1) Forestry/agricultural resource holders

  • Wood processing plants (sawmills, furniture factories): can use wood chips and scraps to reduce raw material costs.
  • Farmers/plantation owners (such as palm and sugarcane straw): value-added utilization of agricultural waste (rice husks, straw).
  • Pulp/paper companies: by-products (black liquor, bark) can be used to synergistically produce pellets.

(2) Energy and environmental protection companies

  • Biomass power plants: self-produce fuel to reduce procurement costs.
  • Carbon emission reduction project developers: obtain carbon credits through pellet production (such as REDD+ projects in Southeast Asia).
  • Industrial boiler operators: replace coal/natural gas and meet environmental regulations (such as South Korea's industrial subsidy policy).

(3) Export-oriented investors

  • International traders: target high-premium markets such as Europe, Japan and South Korea (must comply with ENplus/FSC certification).
  • Enterprises around ports: reduce logistics costs (such as export clusters in the southern United States and Vietnam).

(4) Government and policy support projects

  • Governments of emerging markets (such as Southeast Asia and Latin America): promote rural employment and renewable energy.
  • EU subsidy projects: such as supply chain investment under the "Renewable Energy Directive" (RED III).

From the perspective of economic value, the profit potential of biomass fuel pellets and biomass feed pellets is significantly different, and the following factors need to be analyzed comprehensively:

1. Market demand and price

(1) Biomass fuel pellets:

Global rigid demand, especially in Europe, Japan and South Korea and other regions with strict carbon emission reduction, the price of industrial-grade pellets is stable at US$180-250/ton, and high-end civilian pellets (such as ENplus certification) can reach US$250-350/ton.

Driven by the energy crisis (such as the demand for natural gas substitution in Europe after the Russian-Ukrainian war), long-term demand growth is clear.

(2) Biomass feed pellets:

The price is usually lower than that of fuel pellets (about US$150-220/ton), and the market is more regionalized and depends on the scale of local aquaculture.

The added value depends on the formula (such as protein content), but it needs to compete with industrial feed, and the profit margin fluctuates greatly.

So, Fuel pellets are more expensive and the market is more globalized, while feed pellets are limited by regional aquaculture demand.

2. Raw material cost and adaptability

(1) Biomass fuel pellets:

Raw materials are widely available (wood chips, straw, rice husks, etc.), low-quality raw materials (high ash content, high fiber) are allowed, and costs are controllable (US$50-120/ton).

High tolerance to impurities and low pretreatment costs.

(2) Biomass feed pellets:

High-nutrient raw materials (such as soybean meal and corn) are required, which are more expensive (US$100-200/ton) and require strict impurity removal and sterilization.

Food safety standards (such as mycotoxin control) must be met, increasing testing and compliance costs.

Therefore, the raw material cost of fuel pellets is lower and easier to obtain, while feed pellets have strict requirements on raw material quality.

3. Processing technology and equipment investment

(1) Biomass fuel pellets:

The process is simple (crushing → drying → pelleting), and the standard biomass pellet production line investment is relatively low (about US$200,000-500,000 for a small line).

The core equipment (ring die biomass pelletizer) is highly versatile and has low maintenance costs.

(2) Biomass feed pellets:

Requires complex processes such as conditioning, aging, and additive mixing, and has higher equipment requirements (such as extruders and post-spraying systems). The investment is 30-50% higher than that of fuel biomass pellet production lines.

The molds need to be changed frequently to adapt to different formulas, and the flexibility cost is high.

Therefore, the production threshold of fuel pellets is lower, and feed pellets require higher technical investment.

4. Policy and long-term stability

(1) Biomass fuel pellets:

Driven by global carbon neutrality policies (such as EU RED III), subsidies and tax incentives are clear, and the export market is stable.

The energy attributes make it resistant to economic cycles.

(2) Biomass feed pellets:

Depending on agricultural policies and the livestock industry cycle, prices are easily affected by fluctuations in the grain market (such as corn and soybean price fluctuations).

There is no international unified certification system, and regional sales are the main focus.

Therefore, fuel pellets have stronger policy support and lower market risks.

Our advice:

Give priority to fuel pellets: If the target is to export or layout the energy market, the high premium, low raw material threshold and global demand of fuel pellets make it easier to achieve rapid returns.

Niche opportunities for feed pellets: only in areas with cheap raw materials (such as agricultural byproducts) and stable aquaculture demand, and focus on high value-added varieties (such as aquatic feed).

Note: The two can be produced in synergy (such as sharing crushing and drying equipment), but the complexity of mixed operations needs to be evaluated.

In addition to fuel pellets and feed pellets, biomass can also be used for cat litter pellets, and it is one of the most promising investment areas.

Biomass raw materials are ideal for processing environmentally friendly cat litter because they are biodegradable, highly absorbent, and low in dust, which is in line with the green trend of the pet products market. Globally, the market share of biomass cat litter has been growing year by year, especially in Europe, the United States, Japan, and South Korea, where environmental regulations are strict.

Organic raw materials that can be used to process cat litter (common types worldwide)

Wood raw materials

  • Pine/fir sawdust:
    Compressed into particles at high temperature, naturally antibacterial, suitable for clumping cat litter (mainstream in the North American market).
  • Bamboo powder:
    The fiber structure enhances water absorption and is commonly used in East Asia (such as China and Japan).
  • Coconut shell fiber:
    Highly hygroscopic (up to 5 times its own weight), processed using coconut industry byproducts in Southeast Asia.

Agricultural waste

  • Corn/wheat straw:
    Crushed and mixed with adhesive to make flushable cat litter (European environmentally friendly brand preference).
  • Rice husk:
    After carbonization, it becomes a low-dust adsorption cat litter, which is common in rice-producing areas such as India and Thailand.
  • Bagasse:
    Sugarcane producing countries such as Brazil press it into lightweight cat litter with deodorizing function.

Special plant fiber

  • Pulp waste:
    Recycled paper fiber cat litter (such as Japanese "paper sand"), which is 100% degradable.
  • Moss/grass fiber:
    High-end natural cat litter developed by Nordic countries, focusing on the concept of "forest ecology".

Other innovative materials

  • Coffee grounds (European pilot):
    absorb odors and need to be mixed with adhesives to form.
  • Mushroom mycelium (US startup):
    can be fully composted, but the cost is relatively high.

Biomass cat litter is a high-value-added, environmentally friendly product suitable for investors with cheap raw materials (such as forest farms and agricultural processing byproducts). Give priority to the combination of localized raw materials + export markets (such as Southeast Asian coconut shells sold to Europe), and focus on functional innovation (such as smart deodorization and antibacterial) to increase the premium.

We understand what your goal is and what your requirements are.

So don't worry, let me explain to you :

Firstly, The best biomass pellet is depending:

  • *- Best design of production line
  • *- Best quality of each single machine
  • *- Best quality of pellets raw materials

Secondly , Best production line should be designed with focus on:

  • *- operational safety
  • *- cost reduction technologies
  • *- optimal power consumption
  • *- optimal man power requirement.

You can find that , we can provide it. So don.t worry.

Thirdly , Best single machine:

  • *- best design of single machine by best engineers.
  • *- best raw materials of machines.
  • *- best workers in the workshop, manufactured with full caution and full responsibility.
  • *- best quality control and supervision team to re- inspection.

we are doing this , so don't worry.

I will keep introducing machines in biomass pellet production line , by this way, you will understand our RICHI more and more and trust our RICHI more and more.

How to analyze the quality of suppliers on the Internet? We have some experience and suggestions:

A: Quotation check:

If some equipment is yellow, some is red, and some is blue, and the photos on the quotation have all kinds of colors, it means it is a trading company or a small factory.

B: Company website check:

B1: Are the colors of all the machines on the website the same or different?

If the equipment displayed on the website has a variety of colors, it means it is a trading company or a small factory.

B2: Are the equipment photos in the project cases he showed on website obviously different from the colors of the equipment he quoted? If they are different, it means that the project cases are fake.

B3: Are the machines advertised on the website large or small?

You cannot buy large equipment from a company that only advertised small machines.

C: Previously installed biomass pellet production lines:

During the previous discussion, did he send you enough real project cases?

If only a few cases are sent to you, or the cases are obviously fake, yes, it means he is a trading company or a small factory

D: Most important - Equipment workshop inspection:

You can arrange a zoom meeting to observe the following points through video conferencing:

D1: Are there many large pellet machines completed and ready for delivery in the workshop (more than 10 units)?

If there are only a few (or many) small pellet machines for transportation or display, it means that he does not have the ability to manufacture large machines.

D2: You must check his electric control cabinet production workshop to see:

  • First check:
    You need to see the semi-manufactured electric control cabinet , to know he manufacture the electric control cabinet or not? if without semi-manufactured control cabinet , means he is a small factory , can not make control cabinet by himself.
  • Second check :
    Are there enough orders/control cabinets under manufactured ? If there are many orders (more than 10 units), his workshop must be showing various control cabinets of different production lines and semi-finished cabinets

D3: Are the colors of the machines in the workshop the same?

If not, the machines in the workshop have different colors, which means they bought the machines from different factories. They do not have the ability to manufacture it.

D4: If the workshop is not full and very empty, it means it is not good.

....

Why are there at least 10 production lines of electric control cabinets (not counting single machines) and pelletizer ? Because the production cycle of each production line is 30-180 days, we calculate it based on an average of 60 days (2 months), which means that if there are 60 orders a year, and an average of 5 orders a month (not many orders), then there should be more than 10 orders in production in any month of the year.

For example, if you see 3 electric control cabinets, it means that he has only 2-4 orders in the past 2 months, an average of only 1-2 orders per month, and only 10-20 orders per year. Such a factory is very small in scale, with unstable quality and unstable personnel.

(Our engineers and purchasing managers shared these key points, because when our factory needs to buy some materials and processing equipment, they will first do an online inspection and then select 2-3 good ones, secondly they will visit the factories to confirm the final supplier, when they do online inspection, they will very carefully check those points one by one to avoid to choose a trading company or a small factory )

The investment of biomass pellet factory, a complete factory, the main (big) budget, including:

  • 1-Pellets production line (we can quote).
  • 2-Supporting and auxiliary equipment of pellet production line (we can quote).
  • 3-Steel structure used to support, fix and maintain the machine of pellet production line (we can quote).
  • 4-Raw material + finished products storage warehouse (5t/h, about 1000-2000㎡, 10t/h, about 2000-3000㎡), usually 80-120 USD/㎡, you can find a warehouse factory to give you a quote.
  • 5-Office building: you need to get a quote from a local contractor.
  • 6-Factory roads and transformers: you need to get a quote from a local contractor.

Of course, there are many other expenses, but the amount is not very large.

We recommend:

  • 1- Daily production is best scheduled for 20 hours, divided into 2 or 3 shifts, and the remaining 4 hours are used for daily maintenance and letting the machine rest;
  • 2-If daily maintenance is done well, you can work 365 days a year;
  • 3-But if you receive urgent orders, you can definitely run 24 hours for several weeks. But it is not recommended to work 31 days x 24 hours a month.

For biomass pellet production line , different kinds of raw material need different system:

Chipping system is to only process wood log , crushing system is to only process wood chips, drying system is only process wet material.

So about the design , there are two options:

Option -1 : each systems are connected design:

suitable to the source of main/primary raw materials is very stable, 80% raw materials are same , you can choose design for direct link between all each system .

Option -2 : each systems are independent design:

suitable to the source of main/primary raw materials is unstable, sometimes are log , sometimes is sawdust, sometimes are chips , sometimes is dried , sometime is wet , you can choose that each system is installed independently, means according materials , to run each systems independently.

It will be more fexiableoperation and most important save running power.

Your material will be stable as same type or raw material are unstable in all types?

which one is more suitable to your raw materials ? full connected design or independent densign?

The biomass pellet production line process consists of multiple steps including raw material pre-treatment, pelletization and post-treatment.

1. Biomass Raw Materials Storage

An effective feedstock storage system is necessary so as to keep biomass away from impurities and offer adequate protection from rain and moisture in general. Rain may actually damage the feedstock by increasing its moisture content to such a high level that the drying process becomes unviable.

2. Removal Of Undesirable Impurities

Raw material should be filtered before grinding to remove materials such as stones or metal fragments. Many biomass pellet plants are equipped with systems separating virgin biomass from inert materials such as stones and soil, or magnetic separators for metal impurity removal.

The presence of even the slightest amount of such materials in the final product is unacceptable. At the same time, they can cause serious damage to the biomass pellet line mechanical equipment, i.e. in the biomass sawdust hammer mill or in the biomass pellet machine.

3. Crushing Section

Raw materials before processing are relatively long or relatively large. The raw material must be reduced to a uniform size that is adequate for the biomass pellet mill. The milled material going into the biomass pellet making machine has to be smaller than the die holes to prevent blocking of the holes. Therefore, materials should be ground to a size no bigger than the diameter of the pellet (∼6 mm), producing a substance with a consistency similar to bread crumbs.

Generally, chippers/shredders are used as a first step. Then, once the size of the chipped material has been reduced, the hammer mill is used as a finishing mill.

4. Material Conveying Section

Once reduction has taken place, the material must be moved on to the next process. Screw conveyors are the most commonly used systems for transporting the material through the pelletization process because of the low cost involved.

Alternative options would include the use of a fan followed by a cyclone separator that separates air from the milled material. The air leaves the top of the cyclone, and the milled material is thrown to the outside edge of the cone and then falls out below.

5. Drying Section

Since the raw material is relatively large in water recovery. If the user of the large biomass pellet machine can dry the raw material, the small processing needs to be air-dried, and the moisture of the raw material is generally controlled between 15% and 25%. Excessive moisture can easily block the ring die of the biomass pellet press machine.

Drying solid biofuels is a key factor, since wet raw materials result in low combustion temperatures, low energy efficiency and high emissions of hydrocarbons and particles. In addition, it is very important to choose the right dryer, which may constitute the largest capital expenditure in a biomass pellet production plant and can dramatically increase the production cost per tonne.

6. Mixing And Conditioning Section

Not all raw materials require mixing and conditioning. It is generally used in the process of processing biomass raw materials such as grass (alfalfa, licorice), straw, shells, bagasse, etc. into feed pellets. Nevertheless, if necessary, mixers are used after the raw material has been milled and dried to:

  • get a more consistent material blend to be fed into the pellet mill when the raw material presents significant changes in moisture percentage, binding properties or material density;
  • produce a homogeneous mixture of raw materials in the case of pellets made up of different raw materials.

Once the raw material has been mixed and its consistency is high enough, it may require the addition of other constituents able to increase the productivity of the pellet mill and enhance the final properties of the pellets produced.

7. Pelletization Section

The raw material has a moderate moisture content after being dried and can be molded without pressing any additives when the particulate fuel is pressed by the biomass pellet maker machine. It can produce a smooth and lustrous pellet fuel. Biomass pellets are finally made by biomass pellet mills, also known as pellet presses or extruders, which are available in a range of sizes. Generally, every 100 horsepower provides a capacity of approximately 1 ton of pellets per hour.

8. Cooling And Screening Section

Moisture resistance is an important pellet property. The biomass pellet line pelletizing process implies high temperatures, and attention must be paid to proper cooling and heat removal before the pellets leave a biomass pellet production plant, especially with regard to the storage stage. The produced biomass pellet fuel has a relatively high temperature and needs to be cooled through the cooling machine before being packaged. If the temperature is too high, the packaging is easy to produce water droplets to loosen the particles. Which is not conducive to sales.

Once biomass pellets have cooled, they pass over a vibrating screen to remove any fine material. These 'fines' are augured back into the biomass pelletizing process to ensure that no raw material is wasted. Screening ensures that the fuel source is clean and as near to dust free as possible. Once screened, pellets are ready to be packaged for the desired end use.

9. Packing Section

Biomass pellet fuel can be packaged in a quantitative packaging machine. It can be packaged into 5kg, 10kg, 25kg, and so on, which is convenient for small users to use. It can also be made into tons of bags, which is convenient for large users to use and unload.
