Can your 1-ton per hour wood pellet maker process our mixed furniture factory waste containing wood chips, sawdust, and some MDF particles?
+
Yes, absolutely. Our industrial wood pellet maker is engineered to handle mixed materials precisely like yours. The robust gear-driven transmission and the high-compression ring die in our machine are specifically designed to process a blend of wood chips, sawdust, and MDF particles.
For optimal results and to protect the pellet mill, we recommend a preliminary crushing and screening step to ensure a more consistent particle size before pelleting. Our engineers can provide a complete wood pellet maker line design that includes this pre-treatment.
What’s the typical investment range for a complete 1.2 t/h industrial wood pellet maker plant including basic crushing equipment?

It usually ranges from 39,000 USD to 220,000 USD. The price for a complete 1.2 t/h wood pellet maker plant can vary significantly based on your specific raw material and automation requirements.
A basic system, which includes a crusher, conveyor, our core ring die wood pellet maker for sale, a cooler, and a packing machine, typically represents a very cost-effective solution for its output class. For a precise china wood pellet maker price list tailored to your needs, we strongly recommend contacting our sales team with your raw material details. We provide transparent quotations with no hidden costs.
We have access to port timber and old railway sleepers – what special preparation does your wood pellet maker with crusher require for these materials?
+
Processing dense and potentially treated materials like port timber and railway sleepers requires a robust preparation system. We would recommend a specific configuration of our wood pellet maker plant.
This typically starts with a heavy-duty wood shredder to break down the large pieces, followed by a secondary hammer mill to achieve a uniform particle size. It is crucial to remove any metal contaminants like nails or bolts; we can integrate powerful magnetic separators into the complete wood pellet maker line for this purpose. Our technical team has extensive experience with such challenging materials.
How does your high capacity wood pellet maker handle different ratios of softwood to hardwood in the raw material mix?
+
Our professional wood pellet maker is designed to be highly adaptable to different wood species ratios.
The key is the external adjustment system for the roller-to-die gap, which allows our clients to fine-tune the compression force easily. Softwoods, which have more lignin, often act as a natural binder, while hardwoods may require slightly higher compression.
Our operators will provide comprehensive training on how to make these minor adjustments to maintain consistent pellet quality from your biomass wood pellet maker, regardless of the softwood/hardwood mix.
Can your commercial biomass pellet maker process forest thinnings and logging residues without additional drying equipment?
+
This depends entirely on the initial moisture content. Our commercial wood pellet maker for sale requires a moisture content of around 10-15% for optimal pelleting. Fresh forest thinnings and residues typically have a much higher moisture level.
In such cases, integrating a rotary dryer into your wood pellet maker plant is essential. We can supply a wood pellet maker with dryer as a seamless package. Our engineers will analyze your specific material to determine if drying is necessary and specify the right dryer model to ensure your high output wood pellet maker operates efficiently.

1 t/H wood pellet maker plant process flow
The raw and auxiliary materials of the project, bamboo powder and sawdust, are purchased nearby, with a moisture content of ≤20%. The raw materials are collected and stacked in the raw material yard for future use.

01 Screening
Raw materials such as bamboo powder and sawdust are screened by drum sieves, which are mainly used for sorting raw materials. The sieve hole of the rolling sieve is about 1cm, the large material enters the pulverizer, and the small material directly enters the granule processing machine for granulation.
02 Crushing
The screened bamboo powder and wood chips are sent to the crusher by the belt conveyor, and the bamboo powder and wood chips are sent to the crusher by the forklift. After being impacted by the blade and the knife seat, the rotating knife and the fixed knife are cut and pulverized at the same time.
Due to the action of the rotating centrifugal force, the material automatically flows out from the outlet and enters the material pit, which is sealed with a cover.
03 Drying
Use a wood chip dryer to dry the crushed raw materials.
04 Granulation
The crushed material is sent to the extrusion chamber of the pellet maker machine by the screw conveyor, and the crushed material is squeezed into the inner hole of the mold by the pressure roller, and the extruded material is formed by hot extrusion of the mold.
Cut into cylindrical granules at the exit of the wood pellet maker, the whole process is physical extrusion without adding any binder.
05 Cooling
The temperature of the formed material can be 60~80C, and the product is cooled by the fan in the cooling chamber.
06 Packing and warehousing
The finished products coming out of the outlet are packed and put into storage.

What’s the power consumption of your 1.2 t/h electric wood pellet maker when running on pure sawdust versus mixed wood wastes?
+
Our 1.2 t/h electric wood pellet maker is designed for high efficiency. When processing uniform, dry sawdust, power consumption is at its most optimized. With mixed wood wastes that may contain slightly larger or irregular chips, the power draw can increase by approximately 10-15% as the motor works to compress these more challenging materials.
The specific power rating will be detailed in the technical datasheet for the industrial wood pellet maker for sale. Overall, our gear-driven system is renowned for its power transmission efficiency, keeping your operating costs competitive.
Do you offer a wood pellet maker with dryer as a package deal for processing fresh tree trunks and branches with high moisture content?
+
Yes, we frequently supply a complete wood pellet maker line that includes a specialized biomass dryer. For fresh tree trunks and branches, a comprehensive system is necessary. This package would start with a wood chipper, followed by the dryer to reduce moisture, and then our high capacity wood pellet maker.
Sourcing the wood pellet maker with dryer and other auxiliary equipment from a single supplier like Richi Machinery ensures compatibility, simplifies commissioning, and often represents a more economical wood pellet maker cost overall.
How does your professional wood pellet maker handle the glue content in recycled pallet and construction waste wood?
+
Our ring die wood pellet maker for sale can process recycled pallet wood, but caution is advised with certain contaminants. While the machine’s high pressure and temperature can soften some natural adhesives, synthetic glues and paints can cause die clogging and reduce pellet quality.
We strongly recommend a thorough sorting process to remove heavily treated wood. For materials with minimal contamination, our automatic wood pellet maker can handle it, but we will discuss your specific material profile to determine the best pre-cleaning setup for your commercial wood pellet maker.
What’s the production difference between using sawmill residues versus whole tree logs in your industrial wood pellet maker?
+
The primary difference lies in the required pre-processing and the final pellet density. Sawmill residues like sawdust and shavings are already near the ideal size for our wood pellet maker machine, leading to higher throughput and lower energy consumption.
Whole tree logs require significant chipping and grinding first, which adds to the initial equipment cost and power usage. However, pellets made from dense logs often have a higher bulk density and energy value. Our engineers can design a complete wood pellet maker line optimized for either type of feedstock.
Can your biomass wood pellet maker create uniform pellets from a mix of wood chips and agricultural residues like rice husks?
+
Yes, our biomass wood pellet maker is excellent for creating composite pellets. Blending wood chips with agricultural residues like rice husks is a common practice. The wood fibers act as a binder for the rice husks.
For such a mix, the key is achieving a consistent particle size through proper grinding. We would likely recommend a specific hammer mill screen size and potentially a mixer to ensure a homogeneous blend before it enters the commercial biomass pellet maker. This ensures the production of strong, uniform pellets from the mixed feedstock.
We need to process tree stumps and root balls – what additional equipment would your complete wood pellet maker line require?
+
Tree stumps and root balls are among the most challenging materials due to their size, density, and potential soil content. A complete wood pellet maker line for this would be heavy-duty. It would start with a primary shredder, a secondary crusher, and a high-power hammer mill to reduce the material to a suitable size. A soil and stone separator is highly recommended to protect the subsequent equipment, especially the industrial wood pellet maker. We have designed such systems before and can provide a full quotation for a turnkey solution.
What’s the expected maintenance frequency for your automatic wood pellet maker when processing reclaimed timber with some dirt contamination?
+
When processing reclaimed timber with contaminants, maintenance intervals for your automatic wood pellet maker will understandably be shorter than with clean virgin wood. The abrasiveness of dirt and sand will accelerate wear on the roller shells and the ring die.
We would recommend more frequent inspections of these wear parts. The robust construction of our wood pellet maker machine allows for easy access to these components for quick replacement. Using our genuine, hardened alloy ring dies and rollers will maximize service life even in these demanding conditions.
How does your wood pellet maker for pellet stove fuel handle different wood species in the raw material mix?
+
Our wood pellet maker for pellet stove is built to produce premium heating pellets that meet strict quality standards. The machine allows for precise control over the pellet density and durability, which are critical for pellet stove performance.
Different wood species can be blended to achieve a consistent BTU value and ash content. The external gap adjustment on our professional wood pellet maker is key here, allowing the operator to fine-tune the compression to suit the specific mix of hardwood and softwood, ensuring smooth, efficient operation in residential pellet stoves.
Can your commercial wood pellet maker for sale be adjusted to produce different pellet diameters for various market requirements?
+
Yes, a significant advantage of our commercial wood pellet maker for sale is its versatility. Producing different pellet diameters is as simple as changing the ring die. We offer a wide range of ring dies with different hole diameters (commonly 6mm and 8mm) to suit various market demands, whether for residential heating, industrial power, or animal bedding.
Switching the die is a straightforward process, making our high capacity wood pellet maker a flexible asset for your business, allowing you to pivot between different products and customers as needed.
What’s the labor requirement to operate your semi-automatic wood pellet maker plant at full 1.2 t/h capacity?
+
A well-designed semi-automatic wood pellet maker plant from Richi Machinery for 1.2 t/h capacity typically requires 2-3 operators per shift. Their duties would include feeding raw material into the crusher, monitoring the control panel for the wood pellet maker machine, checking pellet quality, and managing the bagging operation.
While the core pelleting process is largely automatic, personnel are needed for material handling, quality control, and routine maintenance. We can also offer a fully automatic wood pellet maker plant with higher upfront cost but reduced labor needs.
How does your efficient wood pellet maker handle the varying density of materials from light sawdust to heavier wood chunks?
+
Our efficient wood pellet maker is equipped with a forced feeder system that ensures a consistent and controlled volume of material is delivered into the pelleting chamber. This is crucial for handling materials of varying density. For light sawdust, it compacts it, and for heavier chunks, it meters the flow to prevent overloading the main motor. This, combined with the powerful gear-driven transmission, allows our industrial wood pellet maker to maintain stable operation and produce consistent pellets even with fluctuating feedstock density.
We have both hardwood and softwood sawmill residues – will this affect the pellet quality from your professional wood pellet maker?
+
Not negatively; in fact, it can be beneficial. Our professional wood pellet maker excels at processing mixed feedstocks. A blend of hardwood and softwood residues often leads to excellent pellet quality.
The softwood, with its higher lignin content, acts as a superior natural binder, helping to form strong pellets. The hardwood adds density and higher calorific value. You can expect high-quality, durable pellets from such a mix. Our team can advise on the ideal blend ratios for your specific materials to optimize the output from your wood pellet maker for sale.
What safety features does your industrial wood pellet maker for sale include when processing potentially contaminated construction wood?
+
Safety is paramount. Our industrial wood pellet maker for sale includes several key safety features. The electrical control cabinet is equipped with overload protection and emergency stop buttons.
For processing construction wood, we strongly recommend integrating metal detectors and magnets into the complete wood pellet maker line to prevent tramp metal from entering the pelleting chamber, which could cause sparks or damage. Furthermore, all rotating parts are guarded. We provide a full safety overview during installation and operator training.
Can your wood pellet maker machine handle the stringy nature of forest thinnings and brush material without jamming?
+
Yes, but proper pre-processing is essential. The stringy, fibrous nature of forest thinnings can indeed cause bridging and jamming in lesser machines. The key is to use a high-torque wood chipper or a specialized shredder as the first step in your wood pellet maker plant to break down this long, stringy material into short fibers.
Once pre-processed, our wood pellet maker machine, with its forced feeder and high-compression ring die, will have no issue transforming this material into high-density biomass pellets.
What’s the noise level of your high output wood pellet maker when processing dense materials like tree stumps and hardwood logs?
+
Our high output wood pellet maker is engineered for stable, heavy-duty operation, which inherently involves a certain level of noise, primarily from the gearbox and the compression process. When processing very dense materials like stumps, the noise level will be at the higher end of the spectrum. We recommend that the wood pellet maker plant be installed in an industrial setting with appropriate operator hearing protection. The machine itself is built with heavy, vibration-dampening materials to minimize unnecessary noise.
How does your China wood pellet maker price compare to European models with similar 1-1.2 t/h capacity?
+
Our China wood pellet maker price offers exceptional value without compromising on quality or performance. While the initial wood pellet maker cost is typically more competitive than European brands, we build our machines to international standards using high-grade components like imported bearings and precision-machined gears.
Customers find that they are getting a robust, high capacity wood pellet maker that delivers European-level performance and reliability at a significantly more accessible price point, resulting in a faster return on investment.
Can your eco-friendly wood pellet maker process treated wood materials, or are there restrictions we should know about?
+
Our eco-friendly wood pellet maker is designed for clean, natural biomass. We strongly advise against processing chemically treated wood (e.g., CCA-treated, painted, or creosote-treated lumber).
The high heat and pressure in the pellet mill can release harmful fumes, and the resulting pellets would be contaminated, making them unsuitable for most markets, especially heating. Our focus is on helping you produce green, renewable fuel from clean wood waste. We can help you identify and sort out unsuitable materials during the project planning phase.
What’s the installation time required for your complete wood pellet maker line with all auxiliary equipment?
+
The installation time for a complete wood pellet maker line varies with its complexity. A standard system, including crusher, dryer, pellet mill, cooler, and packer, typically requires 2-3 weeks for our engineering team to install and commission on-site.
This includes assembling all components, connecting utilities, and conducting test runs with your material. The timeline can be confirmed during the order process. Our experienced project managers ensure the installation of your wood pellet maker plant is efficient and causes minimal disruption.
How does your renewable energy wood pellet maker handle the resin content in softwood materials during production?
+
The resin (lignin) in softwood is actually a benefit in the pelleting process. Our renewable energy wood pellet maker utilizes high pressure and friction-generated heat (up to 90-100°C) inside the pelleting chamber.
This heat softens and activates the natural lignin in the softwood, which then acts as a powerful binder, effectively gluing the wood fibers together into a solid pellet. This is why softwoods often produce very strong and durable pellets in our industrial wood pellet maker without needing any artificial binders.
What training and support do you provide with your commercial wood pellet maker for sale to ensure optimal operation?
+

How does a wood pellet maker work?
+
The core working parts of the ring die wood pelletizing machine are the ring die and the pressure roller, and the ring die is the active working part. The material enters the material preparation area of the molding chamber through the feeding system. The ring die rotates at a high speed during work.
Under the action of friction and centrifugal force, the material in the preparation area is continuously thrown into the compaction area. After entering the compaction area, the material passes between the ring die and the driven by the friction force of the pressure roller, it continues to move forward.
In this process, as the space between the pressure roller and the ring die becomes smaller and smaller, the extrusion force on the material increases rapidly. When the extrusion force on the material can overcome the frictional resistance of the ring die hole to the formed pellets. At this time, the wood pellets are extruded from the die hole, thus completing the pelletizing process.
