Process Description:
This 3t/h biomass pellet making plant project uses straw, sawdust, waste wood scraps, bamboo powder (bamboo strips) and chaff as raw materials for the production of biofuel pellets;
- Crushing and screening: All raw materials are crushed by the buried crusher and then filtered through the corresponding mesh sieve. The powder that meets the requirements enters the drying cylinder through the sieve; the powder that does not meet the requirements continues to be crushed in the crushing chamber.
- Drying: The hot air and smoke generated by the hot blast stove pass through the fire grill and then the high-temperature hot air and smoke are fully mixed with the raw material powder from the buried crusher in the drying cylinder to heat and dry the raw materials.
At the end of the drying cylinder under the action of the high-pressure centrifugal fan, it enters the second-level cyclone solid-gas separation tower to fully separate the smoke and water vapor from the raw materials.
The separated smoke and water vapor are led to the spray tower for treatment, and then passed through the 15-meter-high exhaust tube. The separated dry raw materials are transported to the dry raw material spare room along the pipeline under the action of the screw conveyor or directly into the molding machine for molding.
The raw materials are only separated from the cyclone separation tower from the entrance of the buried crusher to the exit of the dry raw material (semi-finished product) spare room. There is a dust collection pipe on the top and it is introduced into the outlet of the spray tower, all of which are processed and treated in a closed system. - Compression molding: The semi-finished dry material in the spare room directly enters the molding machine for molding through the screw conveyor. According to the needs of customers, it is equipped with a biomass pellet making machine to make granules of different specifications, and cut into finished products of a certain length by the export cutter. (Related product: biomass pellet mill for sale)
- Cooling: The newly formed finished product has a high temperature due to high pressure, and is sent to the cooling tower for cooling through the bucket chain conveyor belt; this process mainly adopts natural air cooling.
The hot stove fuel of this 3t/h biomass pellet making plant project uses biomass pellet fuel (135t/a biomass). The combustion efficiency and method of the hot blast stove in this project are the same as those of the biomass boiler, but the heat transfer medium is different.
