Who invests in the complete wood pellet line?

To process wood pellets, you need to determine the raw materials, including the type of raw materials (sawdust? chips? shavings? trunks? branches?), the moisture content of the raw materials, the cleanliness of the raw materialsโ€ฆ The condition of the raw materials before entering the wood pellet system is the primary condition to ensure the quality of the final wood pellets.

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 shapeโ€™s waste of wood ? or others , such as EFB ? or crop such as straw, husk, shell, leaves, grass โ€ฆ. ?

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 customersโ€™ raw materials are pure sawdust, but most customersโ€™ 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.

This project targets raw materials such as thin tree trunks and wood blocks. What is special is that the raw materials of this customer contain a lot of nails. This requires setting up multiple iron removal links in this process. The process flow of this design is: raw material slicing โ€“ raw material crushing โ€“ two-stage sawdust crushing โ€“ raw material stacking โ€“ drying โ€“ silo storage โ€“ granulation โ€“ cooling โ€“ screening โ€“ packaging

The raw materials of the customer who adopts this process are wood chips and sawdust, which contain metal impurities. According to the customerโ€™s needs, plant height, and investment budget, we designed the process flow for him as follows: feeding + iron removal โ€“ wood chip crushing โ€“ drying โ€“ silo storage โ€“ granulation โ€“ cooling โ€“ screening โ€“ packaging

For customers who use this process, their raw materials are also wood chips. Unlike the previous plan, this is a disconnected solution, and several manual links are required in the middle. The investment in this wood pellet line is much lower than the previous design. The process flow: wood chip crushing โ€“ on-site stacking โ€“ drying โ€“ on-site stacking โ€“ forklift transportation โ€“ pelletizing. Obviously, The wood pellet processed by this production line will be cooled naturally and then manually packaged.

The raw materials of customer who use this process are logs and sawdust. The processing methods of the two raw materials are different. For logs, slicers + hammer mills will be used to crush them; for sawdust, drum screens + iron removers are needed to clean them without crushing. After the raw materials are crushed, they will be sent to the dryer together. Then the pellet processing is completed through the process of silo storage, pelletizing, cooling, screening, and packaging.

The raw materials of customers who use this process are logs and dry wood chips. The processing methods of the two raw materials are different. For logs, slicers + hammer mills will be used to crush them; after crushing, they will be piled up on the spot and then sent to the dryer for drying; for wood chips, since they account for a small proportion, only a small sawdust making machine is needed to process them. After crushing, they will be put into the silo together with the dried log sawdust, and then the pellet processing will be completed through the process of silo storage, pelletizing, cooling, screening, packaging and other stages.

What raw materials can be used?

The raw material required is tree trunks, and a debarking machine is required to ensure the quality of the raw material and particles.

This device is used to reduce the diameter of a tree trunk. It is usually used for tree trunks with a very large diameter.

This is one of the most widely used wood processing equipment, mainly used to process tree trunks, branches, wood strips, etc. into wood chips.

This is equipment specially used for crushing wooden pallets and formwork, and also processing these raw materials into wood chips.

This is a multifunctional crushing equipment that can process both wood chips and sawdust. However, it is mainly used for small-scale processing.

This equipment is mainly used to process wood chips into sawdust. It is not only used in pellet production lines, but can also be directly used to process horse beds and animal bedding.

Used to process crushed raw materials into wood particles.

Used for drying wood chips, sawdust and other high moisture materials of various sizes..

Used to cool the prepared wood pellets to ensure the quality and hardness.

Used to screen out qualified wood pellets.

Used for packaging various types of wood pellet products.

For wood pellet packaging of 500 kg and above.

When using different raw materials, a mixer is needed to ensure uniformity of particle quality.

Mainly used to screen out impurities such as nails, stones, etc. from wood chips, sawdust and shavings.

According to the process requirements, single-point dust removal and centralized dust removal systems can be set up to purify the production environment.

Used for material transportation between different systems.

It is also a part of the conveying system. It can be customized to be mobile.

Used in process design for longitudinal conveying.

Used to control the automated production and operation of the entire small wood pellet plant.

It is used to temporarily store sawdust, wood chips and other materials in the production line. It can also be used to store wood particles.

It delivers steam and provides heat source for the entire small wood pellet plant.

Frequently asked questions

I want to build a 1-2 t/h complete wood pellet line project, how to make a budget?

If you want to make a budget for the whole wood pellet plant, there are 6 main aspects:

Production line, auxiliary equipment, steel structure, raw material & finished product workshop, office building, road + transformer, etc.

  1. Pelletsย production line (we can quote)
  2. Supporting and auxiliary equipment ofย pelletย production line (we can quote)
  3. Steel structure used to support, fix and maintain the machine of pelletย production line (we can quote)
  4. Raw material + finished productsย storage warehouse,ย usually 80-120 USD/ใŽก, you can find a warehouse factory to give you a quote.
  5. Office building: you need to get a quote from a local contractor
  6. Factory roads and transformers: you need to get a quote from a local contractor

Of course, there are many other expenses, but the amount is not very large

How to calculate the daily operating cost of a wood pellet line, or the daily cost & daily profit?

For the daily operation cost and return of the pellet production line, the time required is different in different countries, but you can calculate it based on 3 main parts:

About raw materials:

First, you can save this part of the cost by buying and storing more when the price is lower.

About electricity cost:

The operating power is 80% of the rated power. When you run the whole system, the electricity cost is almost fixed, this part will be determined by the local electricity price.

Therefore, it is very important to choose a good equipment manufacturer. A higher quality production line must meet the following four points at the same time:

  • operational safety
  • cost reduction technologies
  • optimal power consumption
  • optimal man power requirement.

About labor cost:

you can calculate daily salary based on the local wage level.

What is the difference between โ€œdirect connection designโ€ and โ€œdisconnection designโ€ of complete wood pellet line?

For wood pellet line , different kinds of raw material need different system :

Chipping system is to only process wood log , crushing system is to only process wood chips, drying system is only process wet material. ย 

So about the design , there are two options :

1 : each systems are connected design : ย 

suitable to the source of main/primary raw materials is very stable, 80% raw materials are same , you can choose design for direct link between all each system .

2 : each systems are independent design : ย ย 

suitable to the source of main/primary raw materials is unstable, sometimes are log , sometimes is sawdust, sometimes are chips , sometimes is dried , sometime is wet , you can choose that each system is installed independently, means according materials , to runย each systems independently. ย 

it will be more fexiableoperation and most important save running power.

  • Water supply: The domestic water in the production and office area of the project is supplied by well water, which can meet the water requirements of the project. (Maybe you are interested in: small wood pellet plant)
  • Drainage: The project implements rain and sewage diversion, and the rainwater is diverted to the rain gutter outside the plant and discharged to the surrounding surface water; domestic wastewater is discharged into the septic tank inside the plant for treatment, and is used for surrounding forest irrigation and fertilization, and is not directly discharged to the surrounding waters.

1.5T/H complete Wood Pellet Line Process Flow

  • Mesh screen: Pour bark, wood ends, wood chaff, shavings and other biomass raw materials (which have been crushed when purchased) into the feeding hopper through a forklift, and the larger raw materials are screened out by the sieving machine, and the raw materials passed through the mesh screen Raw materials enter the drying furnace for drying.
  • Drying: Since the moisture in the raw materials may not meet the production requirements, the raw materials need to be dried. Another purpose of drying is to achieve the product molding temperature. The drying process of this project uses biomass fuel and large waste as fuel. The drying temperature is about 100โ„ƒ. The hot air generated by biomass combustion fully contacts with the material to realize heat exchange.
  • Granulation: the dried wood chips are sent to the wood pellet pressing machine, and pressed into the shape of granules in the wood pellet mill machineย without any additives.
  • Packing and warehousing: The qualified finished products produced are packed in bags, weighed, packed, and put into warehousing for stacking.

  • Transportation conditions: The transportation outside the factory relies on the existing external roads, and the transportation inside the factory relies on the existing roads in the factory, and no new roads will be built.

2T/H Wood Pellet Process Flow Design

This complete wood pellet line project utilizes the existing factory buildings for construction, without civil construction, and can be operated after the purchased equipment is installed and debugged.

This project uses dry walnut shells, sawdust and shavings and other biomass raw materials to make biomass granules by removing impurities, crushing (raw materials other than sawdust), granulating and cooling, and then packaging and storing them for takeaway.

The production scale is 5000t/ a. (Note: The raw materials used in this project are sun-dried walnut shells and dried sawdust shavings, so no drying is required).

(1) Removal of impurities: manual selection and removal of impurities in raw materials, mainly beverage bottles, cigarette cases, masks, cigarette butts, iron nails, etc.;

(2) Crushing: use a pulverizer to crush raw materials other than sawdust, including walnut shells and shavings, into biomass fines with a particle size of less than 1mm;

(3) Granulation: The powdery raw materials are conveyed to the wood pellet extruder machine through the closed feeding auger. This project adopts the normal temperature molding process without adding binders.

The principle is to compress it into a compact shape under high pressure extrusion. Solid particles, that is: biomass raw materials contain cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, etc., due to their loose structure and low density, when subjected to external forces, the raw materials will undergo rearrangement, mechanical deformation, elastic deformation, and plastic deformation stage.

And the intertwining and twisting between non-elastic or viscoelastic cellulose molecules, which makes the volume shrink and the density increase, which is a physical process;

(4) Cooling: Under the friction of normal temperature extrusion, the temperature of the extruded particles is 55โ€“65 โ„ƒ, which is easy to break and must pass through a counter-flow cooling system. In this project, a fan is installed on the finished product conveyor belt to pass the counter-flow cold air to the material.

The surface is cooled, and after cooling to normal temperature, it can be transported to the packaging machine for bagging and storage. The cooling method is air cooling;

(5) Packaging storage and delivery: the cooled biomass pellets are sent to the packaging machine with the finished product conveyor belt for packaging, and then transported to the finished product warehouse or sold.
