how to make wood pellets from wood chips？
Wood chip pellet production process uses new technologies and special equipment to use wet wood chips, dry wood chips, logs, branches, leaves, bark, sawdust, templates, shavings, trunks, sawdust and other wood waste as raw materials, and then slices and removes impurities.
Proportioning – drying – crushing – granulation – cooling – screening – quality inspection – packaging and other processes of compression pellet wood chips fuel.
Slicing system
The waste enters the warehouse via a conveyor, is sliced by a slicer, and then enters the wood chip warehouse. It is screened through a vibrating screen to screen out uniform wood chips, and then enters the water washing section.
(Many customers use more than just wood chips as raw materials. More and more customers use wood waste in various states such as trunks, templates, logs, wooden strips, etc. to process wood chip particles. This section is for large-size non-wood chip wood waste.)
Removal of impurities
The impurity removal system cleans the wood chips cut into specifications to remove mud, sand and other impurities contained in the wood chips to ensure the purity of the biomass pellet molded fuel and increase the calorific value of the fuel.
Drying system
The hot air oven drying used in the traditional process is difficult to control the moisture and has a large error. High-temperature flue gas is used as the heating medium, and the moisture control error is within 0.01. Due to the precise control of fiber moisture, the quality and output of wood pellet molding fuel are guaranteed.
(If the moisture content of your raw materials is below 15%, no drying process is required)
Crushing system
The wood chip raw materials are fully crushed through the wood chip milling system to facilitate the next step of granulation.
Pelleting & Cooling & Screening & Bagging
Wood contains a large amount of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, accounting for more than 2/3 of plant components. When the temperature reaches 70 to 110°C, the lignin softens and the adhesive force increases; at 200 to 300°C, the softening degree intensifies.
At this time, the wood chips pellets with a certain shape is formed by applying external pressure and bonding. Since inelastic or viscoelastic fiber molecules are entangled and twisted with each other, they will not return to their original structural shape after the external pressure is removed.
After cooling, screening, quality inspection, packaging and other processes, the wood chips pellet fuel is compressed and formed.
Wood chip pellet machine plant is the complete wood pellet production line, fully adopting mechanical driven to make wood pellets from various wood waste materials.
With a series of wood pellet making equipment connected together, it can realize continuous and automatic pelletizing with easier operation and higher pellets yield.

The standard for high quality wood pellets
In the wood pelletizing industry, the standards for judging high-quality wood pellets are:
- Wood pellet diameter error ≤1mm,
- Pellet moisture content ≤10%,
- Pellet density ≥600kg/m3,
- Wood pellets maintain the highest mechanical durability of approximately 96.5% and have low chemical element content.
Simply put, high-quality wood pellets look like colored crayons after cooling, with a smooth and compact surface with few or no cracks.
Try hitting the surface of the pellet wood chips with a hard object to prevent them from breaking easily.
When some manufacturers press wood pellets, the pressed wood chips pellets are loose, or the material is short and broken, or even cannot be pressed into pellets.
For example, the following situations occur: the discharge is short, the pellets are loose and break when pinched, the pellets are loose and powdery, or there are cracks, and the lengths are different.

Why start a wood chip pellet manufacturing business?
Demand for wood pellets has made it a popular solid renewable fuel and accelerated the development of pellet machinery. There are several reasons why the production of wood pellets is necessary.
- The cost of fossil fuels such as coal, oil and natural gas is rising. Rising fossil fuel costs also increase the cost of production at each plant.
- Environmental pollution problems are becoming more and more serious. During the combustion process of coal, many different pollutants are produced, such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, carbon particles, dust, etc.
- The raw materials of biomass pellets can be found everywhere, and the cost of wood raw materials is low. Wood chips, shavings, sawdust, branches, cotton stalks, rice husks, grass, etc. are all raw materials for making pellets. All these raw materials are scraps from wood mills and farms, and you can easily get them at cheaper prices.
All these reasons make people eager to find a new type of renewable fuel. But why pellets? Why not just burn wood or straw directly? Here are some of the main reasons:
- The source of wood is scarce, and log-grade wood has a wider application range. It can be used to make high-end furniture, handicrafts, musical instruments, paper, etc. In addition, trees grow slowly and log-grade wood has a high moisture content, which requires a long natural air-drying process. And pellets make good use of the scraps and waste from these applications.
- In rural or suburban areas of developing countries, many people may use other woody raw materials as domestic fuel, such as cotton stalks. But different wood raw materials have different sizes, densities and moisture contents, which makes the combustion performance unstable, and some large raw materials cannot directly enter the furnace.
Pellets are a kind of fuel with uniform volume, high density, low moisture content and easy combustion. Pellets can be used in a variety of combustion systems. With the rapid development of pellet combustion technology, two different types of pellet combustion systems have emerged, industrial and residential. - We all know that if we want to light logs or branches, it is not an easy task. Pellets ignite more easily. In addition, pellets have higher combustion efficiency, less smoke, and higher specific calorific value than other wood-based materials.
Due to the above reasons, wood chip pellets and biomass pellets are very popular, and more and more pellet factories are being established around the world.
Reading these contents is far from understanding how to set up and operate a wood chip pellet machine factory. If you are interested in starting a wood chips pellet processing business, contact us and you will get more product and project information!
What is the difference between pellets and wood chips?
Wood chips
Wood chips are small pieces of wood of 5-50mm, and their burning quality is better than large branches and wood chips. If these raw materials are too large, they will clog the boiler’s feed system; if they are too small, they will cause unstable combustion in the biomass boiler. Wood chips with bark burn less stably and produce more ash. Therefore, these wood chips need to be pre-treated before they can be burned in biomass boilers.
The general production process of wood chip fuel is that trees and scraps are chipped and dried to ensure that the moisture content reaches the required level.
Wood chips pellets
Biomass wood pellets are made of wood chips of about 5mm extruded through a biomass pellet machine. Wood branches and other wood branches are processed into cylindrical pellets of 6-10mm and 10-30mm in length.
Wood pellets are made of pure wood chips and do not contain other artificial chemicals. The processed pellets have high fuel density, low moisture, and higher combustion efficiency than direct combustion of wood chips. It also solves the problem of wood chips, sawdust and other wood being inconvenient to transport. question.
Wood pellets are made by crushing, crushing, drying and pelletizing wood, construction waste, branches and other biomass.
Comparison of the advantages of wood chips and wood pellets
| wood chips | wood chip pellets |
| cheaper price | Small storage space for easy transportation and storage |
| Wide sources of raw materials (the reason for installing a wood chip boiler is that there is cheap local fuel) | Flow properties make them easier to deliver (transport through pipelines over long distances) |
| You can manage forest land and chipping by yourself | Less moisture content and less prone to physical deformation |
| May have a beneficial impact on the local economy | Can be stored in bags and manually fed |
| … | … |
Other factors:
- It is worth considering that some biomass boilers can use both wood pellets and wood chip fuel, making the supply more flexible. However, certain wood pellet boilers and their narrow feed augers are not suitable for conversion to wood chips.
- It must also be remembered that if a change in fuel type is required, the boiler will need to be recommissioned and settings changed.
- Fuel storage and delivery methods are also important considerations when deciding which fuel to use. If storage space is limited, wood pellets are more likely to be used.
- Delivery frequency is a major factor in designing a system. The larger the capacity delivered, the cheaper the fuel, but the volume of the chips is relatively larger. Larger boilers use more fuel to operate, so the volume of space and delivery time need to be considered.
- Since wood chips are not as fluid as wood pellets, delivery is difficult, and auxiliary tools such as trailers or containers must be loaded and unloaded by lifting. Pellets are usually shipped in bulk, via trailers or pipelines. This is another factor in choosing a wood pellet fuel system.
If you want to ask: Are wood pellets better than wood chips or are pellets better than wood chips, in fact, the most accurate answer should be: It depends on who the end customer you want to sell to is. There is no good or bad quality between wood pellets and wood chips, it just depends on the usage environment.
