Fuel Pellet Making Machine

What raw materials are suitable for fuel pellet making machines?

Fuel pellet machine is an efficient device that converts different raw materials into pelletized fuel. Fuels made from different raw materials have their own unique characteristics and application scenarios. The raw materials suitable for fuel pellet mills come from a wide range of sources, including wood, crop waste, livestock and poultry manure, urban organic waste, etc.

forest waste

Wood raw material mainly comes from forestry waste and wood processing residues. This fuel has the advantages of high calorific value, stable combustion, and low ash content, and is suitable for high-temperature, high-load combustion equipment such as large boilers and industrial kilns. In areas with developed forestry, wood biomass fuel can also promote the recycling of forestry waste and reduce environmental pollution.

agricultural waste

Agricultural crop waste is also an important source of biomass fuel, such as straw, rice husk, etc. This type of fuel has the characteristics of large output, wide distribution and easy collection, and is suitable for use in rural and small industrial boilers. The utilization of crop waste can not only solve rural energy problems, but also reduce environmental pollution caused by burning straw in farmland.

Animal manure

Manure fuel is made by drying and fermenting livestock and poultry manure. This fuel is environmentally friendly, renewable, and low-carbon, and is suitable for biomass power generation, biomass pyrolysis and other fields. The manure fuel can not only realize the resource utilization of livestock and poultry waste, but also reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainable development of agriculture.

Other organic waste

Organic waste is also one of the important sources of biomass fuel. This type of waste can be made into biomass fuel with high calorific value after sorting, crushing, drying and other treatments. The application of urban organic waste biomass fuel is mainly concentrated in the fields of biomass power generation and biomass heating, which can effectively alleviate urban energy pressure and reduce environmental pollution caused by landfills.

According to the type of raw materials, fuel pellet making machines can be divided into the following types:

Advantages of fuel pellet making machine

Our fuel pellet maker machine has the following advantages:

working principle of fuel pellet making machine

Molding fuel is made by drying and pulverizing various dispersed raw materials with no certain shape to a certain particle size, and then extruding them into regular, larger-density rods, blocks, and balls under certain conditions of temperature, humidity, and pressure.

The density of these solid materials formed by compression can reach 1.1~1.4t/m3, and the volume is 6~8 times smaller than before compression. The energy density is equivalent to that of medium-quality bituminous coal.

During the combustion process, the furnace temperature is high, the firepower is long-lasting, and the combustion characteristics are obviously improved.

How to choose a fuel pellet making machine manufacturer?

As an important equipment in the fuel pellet processing industry, the pellet fuel maker machine is crucial to choose a high-quality fuel pellet machine manufacturer. In the current market, there are many types of fuel pellet machines with different prices and uneven quality.

It is not easy to choose a fuel pellet machine manufacturer suitable for your pellet processing business. RICHI will introduce you to how to choose a high-quality fuel pellet machine manufacturer and help you make a wise choice among many brands.

how to make pellet fuel? Complete fuel pellet machine system design

I believe many customers know that if they want to process fuel pellets, a fuel pellet making machine alone is not enough. The fuel pellet machine is the direct equipment for processing fuel pellets, not the only equipment.

So how to make fuel pellets? The processing flow of fuel pellets production usually includes: crushing, pulverizing, drying, granulating, cooling and packaging. Generally speaking, a complete fuel wood pellet production line requires 2-6 people to complete the process from crushing to packaging.

1. First, the raw materials are processed by a crusher to crush them into sizes suitable for subsequent processing. Depending on the type and physical state of the raw materials, the crushing equipment used is different.
   For example, if you want to crush very thick tree trunks, you need crushing equipment such as peelers, wood splitters, slicers, and wood pellet hammer mills; if you want to crush straw, you need equipment such as haymakers and straw crushers; If you need to crush wooden pallets, you need wood pallet crusher machine and wood chips hammer mill.
2. Remove moisture from raw materials through drying equipment to ensure efficient granulation process.
3. The dried raw materials are fed into the fuel wood pellet mill machine for compression molding, and the fuel particles are made solid and dense through the action of high temperature and high pressure.
4. Through cooling and screening, the pellets are cooled to room temperature and classified for storage and transportation.
5. Qualified biofuel wood pellets after screening can be stored or transported in bulk, or particle packaging equipment can be used to package them for storage or sale.

Equipment needed in a fuel pellet plant

The fuel wood pellet making line is composed of multiple links, including crushing, drying, compression molding, cooling, screening and other steps. Accordingly, each section needs to be equipped with different processing equipment.

Generally speaking, the main equipment of a fuel pellet production line includes slicers, hammer mills, dryers, fuel pellet making machines, coolers, screening machines, packaging scales, dust removal equipment, conveying equipment, etc.
