12-15 t/h wood pellet factory process design
According to the specific requirements of customers, we can tailor-made wood pellet factory for sale and supporting overall design. Wood pellet manufacturing process using wood waste as raw materials consists of the following stages:
- Wood waste crushing;
- Drying;
- Grinding;
- Pressing into pellets (pelleting);
- Cooling;
- Packaging.
(1) Debarking System
Crushing of debarked logs into wood chips. If you use wood logs, timber or lumber as material for a wood pellet Plant, the first step is to debark logs to facilitate following steps of chipping and pulverization, therefore a wood barking machine is demanded.
(2) Chipping System
The step is to reduce size of the material from logs to wood chips with the universal size of about 2cm*2cm for pulverization.
(3) Hammer Milling System
Generally, hammer mill will be applied to crush chips into smaller size of powder. However, a, integrated crusher can be used as well to decrease size of material for pelleting.
(4) Screening System
A sifter is bound to use if the material you possess are beyond purity. The step is to cleanse and purify material with iron scraps, oversized impurities and alleviate damages as well as wear and tear to successive machines.
(5) Drying System
The moisture content of material may remain higher than the required for pelleting. Therefore drying system is needed to reduce moisture content to about 12%-15% for pelleting.
(6) Pelletizing System
Wood pellet mill is the most pivotal machine within a pellet plant. After being pelletized, material will be formed into granule shape or column/cylinder shape. For a larger scale plant, from time to time more than one wood pellet mill is needed.
(7) Cooling System
Newly produced biomass pellets are scolding due to the high temperature and high pressure during pelleting. And a cooler will then be demanded to ensure the ensuing packaging and a longer storage time of pellets.
(8) Sifting System
Some powdery material may also flow from pellet mill with qualified pellets, in this regard, it is proved that a sieve will separate the small amount of disqualified mealy material from good pellets and also to qualify pellet packages.
(9) Packaging Section
Packing scale can be inquired with RICHI too. Pellets can be weighed and packed in bags to facilitate pellet storage, transportation and marketing. We can offer both small bag packing scale and bulk bag packing scale.

Raw material for wood pellet production
What biomass materials do you have? Do you have abundant supply? Are your biomass materials qualified for making pellets? These are the questions you need to consider before building a wood pellet factory.
If you have access to farms, you can use various agriculture wastes like crop straw, rice husk, grass, cotton stalks, etc. If you have access to forestry, you can use forestry wastes like leaves, branches, barks, bamboos, bagasse, EFB, etc. If you have access to saw mill or furniture factory, you can use sawdust, wood powder, wood chips, etc.
You can purchase biomass materials from wood processing factories or plantation owners. The cost of virgin fibers is $70-80/ton, while the cost of recycled wood is lower, about $55-65/ton. And you need consider your distance from the supplier to work out the transportation cost.
The raw materials cost is affected by the moisture content, because you need additional cost for drying. The higher the moisture content, the more you need spend on production. You’d better choose those with low moisture content.
How to Start a Complete Wood Pellet factory?
Notably, many people who have abundant and sufficient raw materials are overly concerned with how they can start a biomass pelletizing plant.
However, they don’t have the necessary expertise or know-how to chase their dream. RICHI specializes in wood pellet factory for sale, next let us give you some tips and steps for how to start a wood pellet line that can assist you.
01 Assemble The Required Raw Materials
You should prioritize on the types of material species because they carry distinguished traits. They may be possessing different fiber and lignin contents that greatly affect the cohesiveness of your biomass pellet.
Many pellets take a column shape due to them being squeezed on the harsh conditions of super high temperatures and high pressure.
02 Consider The Ring Die And Compression Ratio
The different cohesiveness of materials always requires different compression ratio of the pellet mill die mold. The hardwood materials always require a lower compression ratio whereas the softwoods require a higher compression ratio.
As a manufacturer dedicated to wood pellet factory for sale, RICHI have broad knowledge about the material species and their cohesiveness which is essential for you.
03 The Size And Quality Of The Raw Materials
The different sizes of raw materials always demand a different technological process to determine the design of the pellet plant. Some material such as rice husks will not require a machine such as a hammer hill that will dwindle them to the required sizes.
The required size of the materials for setting a pellet plant is approximately 4mm and 5mm. The oversized materials cannot pass through the die pores of the wood pellet mill rings. The diameter of the pellet mill that is demanded on the pellet markets is 6mm or 8mm. The oversized materials cannot be squeezed via the pores of the die ring.
You can use the wood chipper, wood debarker, hammer mill and the wood crusher to reduce the size of your materials effectively. You need to consider purchasing this equipment because they are essential in creating the needed sizes of raw materials to be used in the wood biomass pellet mill.
04 Consider The Moisture Content Of The Raw Materials
You require a drying system when setting up your pellet plant because the suitable materials species for use are required to have approximately 13-15% moisture content. When you have the fresh woods or agricultural waste, you are expected to dry them because the raw materials with excessive moisture content cannot be pelletized effectively.
The raw materials with high moisture content will stick together like paste hence would not be suitable for use. This will affect the efficiency of the pellet machine and will subject you to incurring more costs.
05 The Kinds Of The Wood Biomass Materials To Be Used
You can choose to use a kind of mixed materials or purely one type of the materials to be pelletized. This will require you to consider acquiring the materials that will not temper with the performance of your pellet mill. You should thoroughly deliberate on whether to mix the raw material species to ensure their proportional and thorough blending.
Choosing the best kinds is essential because you will avoid the choking and burping of the pellet machine that will greatly destabilize the running of your wood pellet press mill.
Besides, the wood pellet mill will also produce noisy sounds. For proper working of your pellet mill, you should consider decent mixing of the different materials that is essential in the smooth production of high-quality pellets.
There are many technological processes that are applicable and will improve the performance of the wood pellet mill such as the use of a mixer, but you will incur costs of acquiring them.
06 The Production Factors And The Scale
The factors of production such as the required equipment will greatly determine the production yields of your pellet plant. You should consider choosing efficient models though they have varying prices. You should set up your pellet production plant in a place where there is available large quantity supply of raw materials with no competing plant around it.
You should also consider the transportation of the raw materials such the sufficient and near supply of raw materials that will equate to the reduction of costs and makes the price of pellets competitive.
07 Size Of The Workshop For Making Pellets
You need space to store your plant`s raw materials and a vast space for your workshop. You should consider the available raw materials and the production yields you anticipate because they greatly determine the size of the workshop.
The presence of raw materials and transportation is essential in choosing the size of the workshop for your pellet mill plant. You should also consider a smooth and well-ventilated workshop.
Moreover, you are expected to set up a well-ventilated warehouse that will be a store for pellet packaged by bags and should be equipped with fire extinguishers.
The construction of a biomass pellet production line requires available equipment and raw materials that are the essential factors in ensuring you construct the best biomass pellet plant that will give your money value.
