Biomass wood is organic matter that can be converted into energy. Biomass energy commonly include: wood waste and by-products (both mill residues and non commercial biomass in the woods), energy crops, food crops (e.g., prairie perennials or switch grass), agricultural residues (e.g., corn stover), and animal manure.

Biomass wood materials used as fuel sources can provide heat, electrical and motive power. Biomass in its original form is difficult to successfully use as a fuel in large-scale applications because it is bulky, wet, and dispersed. Biomass densification (pelleting) is a technology for converting wood residues into wood fuel.

Compacting wood at a very high pressure is pelletizing – the process of producing pellets. They have significantly smaller volumes than the original biomass wood and a larger volumetric energy density which makes them a more compact energy source, easy to transport and store.

Hence, biomass wood pellet fuels are a manufactured biomass wood fuel. They could offer interesting opportunities for development of renewable energy.

Wood Pellet Production Line Design

The biomass wood pellet plant pelletisation process consists of multiple steps, including pre-treatment of raw material, pelletisation, and post-treatment. The figure below presents the schematic of the wood pellet production process.
making wood pellets for profit

  1. The first step in the wood pellet manufacturing process is the preparation of the wood waste raw materials, which includes selecting a materials suitable for this process, and its filtration, storage, and protection.

    The raw materials used are sawdust, wood wastes, agricultural and forestry residues, etc. Filtration is done to remove unwanted materials like stone, metal, etc. The materials is stored in such a manner as to prevent contamination by impurities and moisture.wood pellet maker machine crusher wood machine wood pellet fabrication machine
  2. In cases where there are different types of biomass wood materials, a blending process is used to achieve consistency. The moisture content in biomass wood waste can be considerably high, and hence needs to be reduced to 10 to 15%.

    Drying increases the efficiency of biomass, and it produces almost no smoke on combustion.However, the wood materials should not be over-dried, as a small amount of moisture helps in binding the biomass wood particles. The drying process is the most energy-intensive process and accounts for about 70% of the total energy used in the wood pelletisation process.
  3. The wood materials is reduced to small particles of not more than 3 mm before it is fed into the wood pellet mill machine. Size reduction is done by grinding, using a wood hammer mill equipped with a screen of size 3.2 to 6.4 mm. If the wood feedstock is quite large, it is put through a wood chipper machine before grinding.
  4. The next and the most important step is pelletizing where the wood is compressed against a heated metal plate (known as a ring die) using a roller. The die has holes of fixed diameter through which the biomass is passed under high pressure. Due to the high pressure, frictional forces increase, leading to a considerable rise in temperature.

    The high temperature causes the lignin and resins present in the biomass to soften, which acts as a binding agent between the biomass wood fibres. In this way, the biomass wood particles fuse to form pellets.

    During wood pellet line pelleting process, a large fraction of the process energy is used to make the biomass flow into the inlets of the press channels. Binders or lubricants may be added in some cases to produce higher quality pellets. Binders increase pellet density and durability. Wood contains natural resins which act as a binder. Similarly, sawdust contains lignin which holds the pellet together.

    However, agricultural residues do not contain much resins or lignin, and so a stabilising agent needs to be added in this case. Distillers dry grains or potato starch are some commonly used binders. The use of natural additives depends on the biomass composition and the mass proportion between cellulose, hemicelluloses, lignin, and inorganics.
  5. Excess heat is produced by the friction generated in the die. Thus, the pellets produced are very soft and hot (about 70 to 90℃). They need to be cooled and dried before they are stored or packaged. After they have cooled, they are packaged in bags or stored in bulk. Wood pellets can be stored indefinitely, but they must be kept dry to prevent deterioration.

How to set up a new wood pellet production line?

When developing a wood pellet plant business plan the following things should be considered first:
wood pellet production companies

  • What biomass raw materials will be used?
  • How much of biomass raw materials can be obtained at a price point that works within your business model?
  • What is the incoming moisture content?
  • What is your target market, residential fuel, industrial grade fuel, animal bedding, feed, etc.?
  • What is your market area?
  • Do you intend to sell your end product wholesale or retail?
  • What is the market volume potential for the end product in your target market area?
  • What is the value of your end product wholesale and retail in your target market area?
  • What wood pellet plant volume do you plan to produce?

It is our experience that there are two types of pellet plants. At this time we will define them as pellet production lines that needs drying and does not need to be dried.

Wood pellet plant with dying system

A wood pellet plant is a facility that will receive its raw materials with a moisture content higher than 15%. This could be in the form of sawdust, wood chips, or even whole logs.

For a wood pellets factory that pelletizes products other than wood this could be spent grains, ag products, agricultural and forestry waste, alfalfa, lucerne, grass, straw, etc.

This type of wood pellet production plant will require a drying process which can add considerable cost to the initial project as well as added operating cost. When considering a wood pellet processing plant, bear in mind that raw material can be received at a moisture content as high as 50%.

These products must be dried to something below 15% prior to the pelleting process. A typical conversion rate for wood is 2 to 1 therefore for every ton that is delivered to the wood pellet making plant, you will have ½ ton available after drying to produce pellets. If you intend to use wood to fire the burner for the dryer you will consume an additional 25% of the incoming material as fuel.

Cost to build a 300kg/h-40t/h wood pellet manufacturing plant: A good average to consider when building a wood pellet plant from start to finish is approximately 80,000 to 5 million U.S. dollars.

It doesn't take very long to understand that in order to pay for and create profit, a pellet plant doesn't need to produce large volumes (tons per hour) in order to provide the required return on investment.

Because the wood pellets industry has a very good prospect, as long as it is operated properly and reasonable wood pellet production technology and wood pellet manufacturing equipment are selected, wood pellet production lines are generally profitable.

Wood pellet plant without dying system

When considering a wood pellet manufacturing plant without dying section, keep in mind that raw material will be received at a moisture content of 15% or less. In this case, no drying is required which substantially reduces the investment on the front end as well as creating a defined raw material cost.

Cost to start a new no-drying wood pellet manufacturing business: 50,000 to 3 million U.S. dollars.
sale complete biomass wood pellet production line

It is our experience that if you can acquire dry raw materials for a cost of $45.00 per ton or less, a plant producing as little as 2 tons per hour can be profitable (assuming you are able to market the finished product for at least $125.00 per ton).

A dry pellet plant will have maintenance cost of approximately $5.00 to $7.00 per ton and will have electric cost between $7.00 and $10.00 per ton.(Each country and region is different, please consult the details online directly.)
