Requirements for raw materials
What are your raw materials? Is it a single raw material or a mixture of multiple raw materials? What is the moisture content of the raw materials? For the processing of wood pellets, the most important thing is to determine the condition of the raw materials, because the size, moisture content and purity of the raw materials will ultimately affect the pelletizing effect and the final wood pellet quality.
What is your Main/primary raw materials? (Aim to design crushing system)
You can choose one raw material or different raw materials. The crushing process and crushing equipment for different raw materials may be different.
Most are wood log? most are wood chips? most are wood sawdust? most are irregular shape’s waste of wood ? or others , such as EFB ? or crop such as straw, husk, shell, leaves, grass …. ?
What is the moisture of your Main/primary raw materials?
- Dry type moisture =< 20% ? if yes , dont need drying system in your design.
- Wet type moisture > 20%, if yes , need drying system in your design.
Are your raw materials clean? Do they contain impurities?
Some customers’ raw materials are pure sawdust, but most customers’ raw materials contain various impurities such as nails and cigarette butts, and they need to be equipped with screening and cleaning equipment, iron removers, permanent magnet cylinders and other equipment to remove impurities from the raw materials.
RICHI MACHINERY
composition of small wood pellet plant process
A standard small wood pellet plant process includes cleaning, crushing, drying, pelletizing, cooling, screening, and packaging. Auxiliary processes include dust removal, storage, transportation, etc. Depending on the raw material conditions, customer needs, plant structure, and product type, the order of the processing technology may be adjusted, and it may also increase or decrease. Therefore, we usually provide customized wood pellet processing technology, and any special process requirements can be realized at RICHI.
Raw material cleaning
Remove impurities from raw materials to ensure safe operation of subsequent equipment.
Raw material crushing
Different crushing equipment is used for different raw materials to make the raw materials reach the required size for granulation: about 3 mm.
Raw material drying
Different types and sizes of raw materials can be dried. Drying does not necessarily have to be done after shredding. 20% is an indicator of whether a drying system is configured. If you want to save drying costs and have enough space, you can use the natural drying method.
Raw material pelleting
After the moisture and size of the raw materials meet the pelletizing requirements, they will enter the wood pellet machine for pelletizing.
wood Pellet Cooling
After pelletizing, the moisture content of wood pellets is too high, and a cooler is needed to reduce the pellet temperature to room temperature, ensuring that the pellet hardness and moisture content are normal and the pellet quality is guaranteed.
wood Pellet Screening
The granulation process will definitely produce powder. Therefore, after granulation and cooling, screening equipment is needed to screen out unqualified particles, and then return them to the granulation section for re-granulation.
wood Pellet packaging
After the screening process is completed, it means that you have obtained qualified wood pellets. You can use the packaging system to package the qualified pellets, or you can use trucks to ship them out in bulk. If you use the packaging system, you can choose small package packaging scales and ton package scales. As for the sealing method, you can use thermoplastic sealing or thread sewing.
Assistance Systems
In addition to the above main sections, there are some auxiliary systems that are necessary and optional, such as conveying system (required), dust removal system (optional), silo system (optional), environmental protection system (optional), boiler system (optional), fully automatic control system (required)…

customized small wood pellet plant design
We will customize different small wood pellet plant designs for customers based on different production scales, product types, raw material types, process requirements, plant structures, investment budgets and other factors. Below, RICHI will list several solutions we have done for you, hoping that you can have a better understanding of the process design of small wood pellet processing.
01
300-500KG/H Mini wood pellet plant design
This is a small wood pellet plant diagram customized by us for an Indonesian customer. The original wood chips of this customer were wood chips.
The process flow is as follows: the wood chips are fed into the crusher through a conveyor. Before that, the sawdust obtained after crushing is directly piled on the ground. Then it is transported to a conveyor by a forklift and fed into the pelletizer through the conveyor. After pelletizing, qualified pellets are obtained in the form of a conveyor-cooling belt. Then they are manually packaged by humans.
In this design, the main equipment used includes conveyors, wood hammer mills and wood pellet machines.
02
500-700KG/H small wood pellet plant design
This is a pellet production line design with an output of 0.5-0.7 tons per hour. We designed it for a Ghanaian customer. The customer uses wet wood chips as the main raw material.
The process of this design is: the material is sent to the crusher through a conveyor, and the crushed material is sent to the dryer in batches. The dried material is piled on the ground, and then sent to the wood pelletizer by a forklift, and then enters the cooler and vibrating screen to finally obtain qualified pellets. This project also adopts manual packaging, and the qualified pellets are directly put into bags after screening.
03
0.5-0.7T/H small wood pellet mill plant design
This is also a project with an hourly output of 500-700 kg, but this design is significantly different from the above one. The raw materials of this project are various organic biomass wastes such as wood chips, sawdust, wood shavings, straw bundles, rice husks, etc.
Therefore, in this project, the straw bundles are crushed by a baler, and after crushing, they enter the sawdust making machine together with other materials. Subsequently, the crushed materials enter the dryer. After drying, all materials are conveyed horizontally and sent to a material silo by a bucket elevator, and then sent to the wood pellet machine in batches. Then they enter the cooling and screening section. In order to save costs, this project is also not equipped with a baling scale, but is baled manually.
04
500-700KG/H MDF wood pellets plant design
As can be seen from this flow chart, this is a relatively simple design. This design comes from our Azerbaijan MDF pellet production line project. This project was built in an MDF processing plant. Since a lot of MDF waste was generated during the processing, the customer invested in building this small pellet production line. The pellets processed in this project will all be used as biomass boiler fuel in the plant.
The design of this solution mainly includes two systems: pelletizing system and cooling and screening system. The waste materials generated by the customer’s factory include sawdust and wood blocks and chips. But the customer already has a sawdust making machine. So we only need to design all the sections after crushing for the customer.
In this project, the main equipment used includes wood pelletizer, cooler, screening machine, crimping conveyor, etc.

The biomass wood pellet fuel production of the project mainly uses sawdust, sawdust, etc. as raw materials, and the raw materials are purchased from outsiders.
The purchased raw materials are crushed and screened, and the unqualified screened materials are returned to crushing.
02 Drying:
The raw material contains a certain amount of moisture, and the raw material that meets the size requirements after crushing is dried in a drying furnace. The drying furnace uses biomass particles as fuel and is indirectly heated.
This process is carried out in a closed manner. (The project has a drying furnace for burning biomass briquettes, which is self-built under the guidance of RICHI.
The annual working time is 300 days, 8 hours a day, and the biomass briquette fuel burned by the drying furnace is 83.33kg/h per hour. The fuel adopts the biomass briquette fuel produced by the customer, and the annual consumption of biomass pellet fuel is 200t.)
03 Granulation:
The dried raw materials are dropped vertically on the surface of the wood pellet granulator frame plate from the feed port, and the material is continuously and evenly distributed on the surface of the inner cavity of the mold (the contact surface between the pressure roller and the mold) through the rotation of the frame plate.
The powdery material passes through the holes of the mold (evenly distributed on the inner surface of the mold) under the rolling. In this process, the material is subjected to high pressure and high temperature, which makes the powder particles form a continuously elongated cylindrical solid body.
The cylindrical solid body continues to elongate until it is cut by the cutter around the uniform mold, forming pellets of a certain size, scattered on the The pellets around the mold are concentrated to the discharge port by the pulling teeth, and the pellets fall automatically under the action of gravity. At this point, the pressing process of the pellets is completed.
04 Packaging:
Check and weigh the pellets fuel, and pack it into the warehouse or sell it out if it passes the test.
Environmental Engineering
01 Exhaust gas treatment:
Crushing, screening, granulating dust: The 300kg/h small wood pellet processing plant project sets up a dust collection hood to collect dust in the crushing, screening, and granulating processes, and leads it to the bag filter through pipelines. After treatment, it is discharged from the 1#15m high exhaust pipe, and the gas The collection efficiency of the hood is 95%, the air volume is 2000m³/h, and the dust removal efficiency of the bag filter is 99%.
Exhaust gas from the drying furnace: After cooling, the flue gas from the drying furnace of the project is dedusted by a bag filter (efficiency 95%), and then discharged from a 20-meter-high chimney at high altitude.
02 Wastewater treatment
The domestic sewage of this project will be used to irrigate the surrounding woodland after being treated by the grease trap and septic tank sewage treatment facilities, and will not be discharged outside.
03 Noise reduction
