RICHI MACHINERY recently completed factory acceptance testing for a 4 T/H sawdust pellet production line destined for southern Peru, marking another export milestone for RICHI’s biomass equipment division.
The project focuses on converting sawmill residues and furniture factory offcuts into high-density biomass pellets for industrial boiler fuel.
Compact Design for Distributed Biomass Resources
The customer required a moderate-capacity system suitable for decentralized wood waste collection. RICHI delivered a streamlined configuration including:
- Wood chip crusher
- Hammer mill
- Rotary drum dryer
- MZLH biomass pellet mill
- Counterflow cooler
- Pellet screening unit
- Automatic bagging system
Designed capacity is 4 tons per hour, with finished pellets achieving a calorific value exceeding 4,200 kcal/kg.
Factory Testing and Quality Control
Before shipment, RICHI conducted full-load testing at its production facility. Engineers verified:
- Motor performance
- Bearing temperature stability
- Pellet density and durability
- Electrical system responsiveness
All equipment passed acceptance criteria, and the complete line was dismantled for container loading.
Logistics and Delivery
The equipment was packed into eight 40-foot containers and dispatched via Shanghai port. Arrival in Peru is scheduled for late February, with installation to follow immediately.
RICHI will provide on-site supervision and remote commissioning support.
Expanding Biomass Utilization in South America
Peru’s woodworking sector generates substantial volumes of sawdust annually. This project provides a practical solution for converting waste into renewable energy while creating additional revenue streams for local producers.
