1.Raw material processing
The production of biomass pellets requires the use of wastes such as straw and wood chips as raw materials. Raw materials need to be preliminarily processed before production, such as removing impurities, foreign matter, etc.
Different raw materials are processed in different ways: for example, 2-meter-long wet straw needs to be cut, dried, and crushed; tree trunks need to be peeled, split, sliced, and crushed; bales of hay need to be broken and crushed.
2.Crushing and drying
The processed raw materials need to be crushed to facilitate subsequent granulation operations. The crushed raw materials also need to be dried to remove humidity and increase the hardness and density of the biomass pellets. Drying can be done by natural air drying or machine drying.
3.Granulation
Granulation is one of the most critical links in the entire biomass wood pellet production process. Currently, biomass pellets are produced using ring die pelletizing methods.
4.Cooling and screening
After the granulation is completed, the pellets need to be cooled down to avoid deformation or cracking caused by excessive humidity or temperature. The cooled biomass pellets need to be screened to remove some fine particles to ensure the uniformity and quality of the pellets.
5.Packaging
The final step in biomass pellet production is packaging. Pellets are usually packed into plastic or paper bags to protect them from moisture and dust.
