The biomass pelletizing plant arrangement is intended for a small operation with a dependable accepted residue supply.
RICHI MACHINERY
A New Product from Material the Workshop Understands
The customer already handles wood residues as part of its processing activity. Those materials differ from a purchased mixed-waste stream: the yard can identify their source, separate untreated material and record the quantity generated over the working month.
A compact pellet machine line adds a fuel product when those volumes and identified industrial orders support it. The small biomass pellet production line is sized for the available supply and identified fuel orders.
The small biomass wood agricultural residues pellet plant in Chile also allows the customer to keep the machinery in one accessible workshop. A single main press, compact supporting equipment and a clear material route make routine inspection easier for a small team.
RICHI MACHINERY
Wood-Dominant Supply with a Controlled Agricultural Fraction
| Material | Intake requirement | Preparation |
|---|---|---|
| Sawdust | Untreated wood, sampled moisture and cleanliness | Bypass chipping; dry where required |
| Wood offcuts | Qualified pieces within chipper dimensions | Check for foreign objects and chip |
| Agricultural straw or suitable crop residue | Identified, clean material within the approved blend | Cut long fibre before further preparation |
| Bark-rich or soil-contaminated material | Assess separately | Keep outside the approved blend if it fails the fuel limits |
An 85% woody and 15% agricultural reference range provides a starting material assessment, with the final composition set by pellet and fuel trials. Around 23% average incoming moisture gives a practical drying reference. About 1,800 tonnes of accepted feedstock supports the 1,500-tonne product basis after the selected moisture change and handling allowance.
For this wood pellet plant construction scope, representative samples establish what the customer’s own material needs. Painted wood, glued boards, plastic and unqualified waste are excluded from the specified fuel blend.
RICHI MACHINERY
Compact Drying with a Real Water Load
At 1 T/H of pellets and 10% finished moisture, the product contains 0.9 tonnes of dry matter per hour. With a 23% incoming moisture basis and a modest dry-matter loss allowance, reference evaporation is about 175 kg of water per hour.
The dryer is selected on a 350 kg/hour water-evaporation basis with 500 kW of thermal input. That provides room above the reference duty, while wetter material is assessed against the limit before the feed rate is increased.
The small biomass wood agricultural residues pellet plant in Chile uses a 200 kW connected electrical basis for preparation, drying airflow, grinding, forming and finishing. Actual demand depends on which duties run together. Site water mainly serves welfare and selected cleaning, with process adjustment assessed from the material trials.
RICHI MACHINERY
One Main Press and Compact Preparation Machinery
| Main duty | Equipment | Quantity | Main selection |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wood coarse preparation | Compact chipper | 1 | 22 kW main drive |
| Fibre preparation | Straw cutter | 1 | 11 kW main drive for the small approved fraction |
| Moisture reduction | Dryer with heat supply | 1 set | 350 kg/hour water evaporation basis |
| Fine grinding | Biomass hammer mill | 1 | 37 kW main drive |
| Forming | Biomass pellet mill, MZLH420 | 1 | 90 kW main drive, selected 1 T/H duty |
| Cooling and grading | Counterflow cooler and screen | 1 set | Match the finished product flow |
| Packing | Weighed 20 kg bagging and sealing | 1 | At least 2 bags/minute when bagging the full output |
Sawdust bypasses the chipper, and qualified short fibre can bypass cutting. The machines are present for the material forms that need them, not as compulsory steps for every particle.
The small biomass wood agricultural residues pellet plant in Chile uses one suitable forming machine. The downstream cooler and screen are sized to that output, protecting product condition before bags reach the warehouse.

The Small Biomass Wood Agricultural Residues Pellet Plant in Chile Process
Receive and check the residue lots
Staff identify the wood source and measure moisture. Agricultural material remains separate until the approved blend is selected. Suspect or contaminated deliveries do not enter the production buffer.
Prepare bulky wood and long fibre
The compact chipper reduces accepted offcuts. The cutter handles the small agricultural fraction. Material already at a suitable coarse size takes the relevant bypass.
Dry the material that needs it
The dryer receives material within the assessed moisture and feed-rate range. Operators coordinate heat input, airflow and feeding, then verify the discharge moisture with samples.
Fine-grind and blend
The hammer mill prepares the particle distribution for the selected die. Metered blending controls the agricultural fraction and gives the press a consistent feed condition.
Form the fuel pellets
The single MZLH420 receives the prepared material through controlled feeding. Die selection and operating settings follow the approved blend, with output checked as saleable finished pellets.
Cool, screen and pack
The counterflow cooler removes heat before grading. Compatible fines return through the specified rework route. Released pellets enter weighed bags and protected finished stock.
RICHI MACHINERY
Dust Control and Dry Finished Storage
Extraction serves chipping, grinding, transfer and screening points. Enclosed conveying reduces spillage, while accessible cleaning points help staff maintain the small workshop between production campaigns.
Only clean, identified material returns to the process. Contaminated sweepings, foreign objects and unsuitable residues have separate handling routes. Ash from the chosen heat source is assessed for its appropriate destination rather than automatically marketed as fertilizer.
The small biomass wood agricultural residues pellet plant in Chile keeps finished stock dry and separate from incoming wet residues. Fire access and the selected protection arrangement are considered alongside the compact layout.
RICHI MACHINERY
A Workshop Layout That Leaves Room to Work
The existing 3,176 m² yard provides a 900 m² covered working allocation: 300 m² for feedstock, 300 m² for processing, 200 m² for finished stock and 100 m² for services and maintenance. The remaining yard supports receiving, vehicle access and the required utility space.
The small biomass wood agricultural residues pellet plant in Chile locates the accepted residue buffer near coarse preparation. Product packing and collection stay at the finished end, avoiding repeated travel through the wet receiving area.
Service space around the press allows die and roller work. The customer can inspect conveyors and the dryer without using bag-storage aisles as machinery access routes.
RICHI MACHINERY
Delivery Planned for a Small Industrial Yard
Machinery is packed by process area, with lifting information for the pellet mill and dryer components. The customer confirms the unloading surface, access through the workshop openings and suitable temporary storage before dispatch.
A Chilean sea gateway and onward road route are selected against freight availability and the site location. Cargo dimensions and booked handling determine the delivery programme. The installation plan coordinates arrival with foundations, electrical connections and heat-supply preparation.
RICHI MACHINERY
From Material Trials to Product Acceptance
The small biomass wood agricultural residues pellet plant in Chile follows a practical sequence: qualify the materials, confirm the product blend, select the die and dryer duty, finalise the layout, assemble the machinery and check the working product.
Capacity acceptance uses the approved blend and includes cooling, screening and packing. A stable press discharge alone is not enough if the product after grading does not meet the release condition.
The operating team learns to record moisture, recognise feeding changes, maintain the die and keep compatible rework identified. Those routines give a small business useful control over its fuel product.
RICHI MACHINERY
Selling a Small Industrial Fuel Range
The product basis is 8 mm pellets for compatible industrial combustion equipment, with a finished moisture target at or below 10%. Bulk density, durability, fines, heat value, ash and relevant fuel chemistry are checked against the buyer’s requirements.
The small biomass wood agricultural residues pellet plant in Chile produces a mixed biomass fuel when the agricultural fraction is used. The customer qualifies that product for the receiving burner. A household wood-pellet specification requires a separately eligible material and product route.
Can the yard operate without the agricultural fraction?
A qualified wood-only campaign can be assessed with its own die conditions and fuel specification. Its production rate and release checks follow the actual wood material supplied.
Is the 1 T/H duty suitable for a small business?
A small wood pellet plant is useful when accepted residue quantity, working hours, electrical service and identified fuel orders support the selected output. Those factors are reviewed together before the equipment scope is fixed.
