Waste by-products can be highly valuable! A wide variety of materials that are considered waste can be transformed, in most cases, into marketable recycled goods. Among many other production processes, pelleting can further increase the value of these products. (Find RICHI on YouTube)
7-8T/H wood pellet making process design
How to start a wood pellet production business with whole set wood pellet making equipment? The full process of a complete wood pelletizing plant, from biomass raw material processing to final packing biomass pellet, includes crushing, drying, pelleting, cooling and packaging processes.
Each process has corresponding equipment. We break down the process into three processes and take a look at what equipment need to buy if you are planning to investing on biomass pellet plant.

(1) Wood raw materials preparation
This is the first step which includes seiving, storage and protection. Seiving is done to remove unwanted materials like stone, metal, etc. The raw materials should be stored in such a manner that it is away from impurities and moisture.
(2) Raw materials chipping system
If the wood waste raw materials are tree trunks, branches, a heavy-duty wood chipper is needed. If raw material is log, it may be necessary to configure equipment such as wood splitter, peeling machine, debarkers, shredders, etc.

(3) Raw materials crushing system
Before feeding wood to wood pellet mills, the biomass should be reduced to small and proper particles. Uniform particle size is important for a good pellet quality and little dust content. Size reduction is done by grinding with a wood hammer mill.
(4) Raw materials dying system
The moisture content in biomass can be considerably high and are usually up to 50%-60%, which should be reduced to 10 to 15%. Therefore drying is a necessary step in preparing biomass wood residues for pelleting.
(5) Wood pelleting system
This system is to make wood sawdust into pellets, uses the core wood pellet making equipment——wood pelletizer machine.The material goes into the pellet pressure chamber, are transformed into pellets by the ring die. Then adjust the distance between cutter and ring die to get the desired length of pellets.

(6) Pellet cooling system
Due to the compression generated in the die, excess heat is developed. Thus, the pellets are very soft and hot (about 70 to 90℃),not suitable for packaging, so it needs to be cooled and dried before its storage or packaging.
(7) Screening system
The forming rate of pellets is around 98% , so there are still have 2% powder in pellets, by screening, sort out all the powders from pellets.The sieved pellet go directly to the finished product warehouse, and then are weighed and packaged.
(8) Automatic packing system
The qualified pellets are packed into plastic bag from 10 kg to 100 kg, or 1ton .Then use thermoplastic sealing machine to sew, these can make the pellets dry and water-proof. To extend the biomass wood pellets storage time.

The use of raw and auxiliary materials
name | Annual usage (t/a) | Maximum storage capacity (tons) | Save method |
---|---|---|---|
Wood scraps | 18001.2283 | 500 | Stacking |
Calculation of the amount of raw and auxiliary materials:
The raw and auxiliary materials used in this 7-8t/h wood pellet making equipment plant project are wood scraps. During the wood pellet production process, the raw materials will be lost due to the formation of dust due to crushing, pressing and molding processes. 10-4t/t-product (0.669kg/t-product), that is, the loss is 12.042t.

About 90% of the lost dust is collected into the pulse bag filter for treatment, and most of it is collected as raw and auxiliary materials after being treated by the pulse bag filter, and the dust that has not entered the pulse bag filter is discharged in the workshop without organization, of which most of it settles on the workshop floor by gravity, and is cleaned and collected as raw and auxiliary materials for reuse. By calculation, the recycling amount of dust is 10.8137t.
It can be calculated that 18,001.2283 tons of raw materials are needed to produce 18,000 tons of biomass pellets.
