wood pellet production process

The wood pellet processing process usually includes cleaning, crushing, drying, granulation, cooling, screening, packaging, etc., and is also equipped with necessary configurations such as electronic control system, conveying and conveying, dust removal system, etc. Depending on the needs, silo system, mixing system, etc. are sometimes also configured.

Magnetically separate and screen logs, branches, wood chips and other wood materials to remove impurities and obtain clean wood materials.

Crush the clean wood raw materials to 3-5mm through a hammer mill or chipper to obtain fine wood particles.

The fine wood particles are passed through a drum dryer or airflow dryer to reduce the moisture content to below 12% to obtain dry wood particles.

The dried wood raw materials are pressed into cylindrical pellets with a diameter of 6-14mm and a length of 10-30mm through a wood pellet mill machine.

The prepared wood pellets are cooled to near room temperature through a countercurrent cooler.

The cooled pellets are passed through a vibrating screen to remove unqualified pellets and powder, and qualified wood pellets are obtained.

The screened qualified wood pellets are packaged into 15kg, 20kg, 25kg and other specifications by automatic packaging machines.

Control the operation of the complete wood pellet plant and realize automation.

In the actual wood pellet processing process, dust removal system, steam system, silo system, conveying system, etc. are also required.

Reasonable layout

The project is adjacent to a temporary garbage storage point on the north side. The overall layout of the plant is “L” shaped. The area on the north side of the plant is reserved for employee living areas.

The raw material storage area, production workshop, warehouse, and living area are all located in the south side of the site. From west to east, they are arranged as raw material storage area, reserved factory building, production workshop, warehouse, and living area.

  • The west side of the project is a ravine.
  • The raw material storage area is located at the westernmost side of the south side of the site, far away from the living area, which reduces the incidence of accidental fire accidents and is easy to control after an accident occurs.
  • The living area is located at the easternmost side of the south side of the site, in the crosswind direction of the production workshop, reducing the impact of production dust on the living area.
  • There are 2 fire water pools in the site, one on the southeast side and one on the northwest side, which can prevent accidents in time.
  • The distance between the workshops and the reserved roads on the north and south sides meet the requirements of fire protection distance and sanitary protection, and meet the width requirements for raw materials and finished products entering and leaving the factory.

Therefore, the layout of this project is very reasonable.

Process flow

The construction process of this project can be divided into four stages: preliminary preparation, construction, completion acceptance and completion operation. The construction stage of the project mainly includes the demolition of the original buildings in the factory area, site leveling, foundation engineering, main engineering, site hardening and equipment installation.

This project is a biomass pellet fuel construction project. The main process flow during the project operation period is:

  1. Put the raw materials in the yard, such as sawdust, straw, etc., into the crusher for crushing, screen and mix, and then enter the crusher for crushing.
  2. After that, the raw materials are transported to the fully enclosed drum dryer, and the hot flue gas of the biomass hot air furnace is introduced into the induced draft fan for drying.
  3. The induced draft fan introduces all the sawdust and hot flue gas in the drum dryer into the drying moisture separator. The dryer end facility of this project is processed by the drying moisture separator.
  4. The dried sawdust is discharged from the drying silo discharge port and sent to the pelletizer, and finally enters the separator to separate the dust and package the finished product.

The drying products of this project use hot air furnaces burning biomass materials. The general characteristics of biomass fuels are high moisture, low ash, high volatile matter, low calorific value, and irregular shape.

At present, the combustion devices developed for the characteristics of biomass fuels are: biomass fuel layered combustion device, biomass fuel fluidized bed combustion device, and biomass fuel diffusion combustion device. In order to meet the requirements of grain drying and ensure good performance, the following general principles should be followed when designing straw burning furnaces:

Simple structure, easy to manufacture, low cost; less labor required, easy operation and maintenance; complete combustion, good flue gas quality, high thermal efficiency; taking into account various uses other than drying and the adaptability of different fuels. The combustion quality depends on the following factors: furnace temperature, combustion time, turbulence and mixing degree in the furnace, air-fuel ratio, and the physical properties of the fuel itself.

Recommended values ​​of main design parameters:

Grate area: 70 pounds of fuel/square foot (70bf/in2-6894.76Pa); furnace volume: 10×grate area; theoretical air volume for corn straw combustion: 505kg air/kg fuel dry weight; excess air coefficient is greater than 0.5, and the optimal value is 1~4.

Some design experience: When the moisture content of the straw is high, the feed rate cannot be too large; if the feed is too much, it cannot be dehydrated, volatilized and burned in time, which will cause incomplete combustion.

The inner wall of the furnace should be made of a material with high reflectivity so that the radiant heat energy reached can be emitted back to the center of the flame to promote combustion.

When the furnace temperature is higher than 800℃, the slag produced after the fuel combustion will melt back, and after melting, it is easy to adhere to the grate, block the ventilation holes, and worsen the combustion condition.

To avoid the above situation, the temperature of the slag before discharge should be controlled below 800℃; the air intake should be sufficient to ensure complete combustion on the one hand and avoid slag melting on the other hand; when possible, it is best to process the fuel, such as flattening and chopping, to expand the contact area between air and fuel and make combustion faster.

Process flow

The raw materials of this complete wood pellet plant project are waste firewood, forestry residues, furniture factory scraps, straw, and sawdust. The moisture content of the raw materials will be controlled during the purchase.

  1. Chipping: After the raw materials enter the site, they are stored in the raw material warehouse. The loader is used to move the waste firewood, wood veneer, thin branches, and furniture factory scraps to the conveyor belt, and then sent to the chipper through the closed belt to be crushed into small pieces of wood. The crushed wood blocks enter the closed material transfer room with the conveyor belt.
  2. Crushing: Use a loader to move the crushed wood blocks, straw, and sawdust to the conveyor belt and send them to the crusher for crushing. The crushed materials enter the closed material transfer room through the conveyor belt.
  3. Granulation: Use a loader to add the materials to the auger screw conveyor, and send them to the pelletizer through the conveyor, and press them into shape in the pelletizer. During the extrusion process, the friction between the machine and the biomass raw materials will generate heat, which softens the lignin contained in the raw materials and acts as a binder.
  4. Cooling: The formed materials are transported to the finished product warehouse via a conveyor belt for natural cooling. The cooled finished products are packaged according to customer needs, and unqualified products can be returned to production as raw materials.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the capacity of a complete wood pellet plant? Can it meet my needs?

The capacity of a wood pellet plant is usually calculated in tons/hour (0.5~3t/h for small lines, 4-8t/h for medium-sized lines, and more than 8t/h for large lines).

Key considerations: Choose matching capacity based on your raw material supply (such as 500 tons per month) and target market orders to avoid idle or overloaded equipment.

What is the total investment cost of the equipment? What parts are included?

Total cost composition:

Equipment costs (accounting for 60%~70%): crusher, dryer, pellet machine, cooling and packaging line, etc.

Auxiliary costs (accounting for 30%~40%): plant construction, power capacity expansion, environmental protection facilities (such as dust collector).

Example: A small production line of 1t/h costs about 20,000-300,000 US dollars, and a large automated line may exceed 1 million US dollars.

How are wood pellets made?

To create wood pellets, producers remove moisture from incoming wood fibre, grind the fibre into dust, and compress the dust into small cylinders. Heat is applied in this process which causes lignin—a natural polymer found in wood—to act as a glue to hold the compressed particles together. The result is a dry, highly compressed and high-energy-value product that can be easily handled and transported efficiently over very long distances.

What are the requirements for raw materials in wood pellet plants? Is pretreatment required?

Applicable raw materials: wood chips, sawdust, branches (need to be crushed to 3~5mm), some agricultural waste (such as rice husks).

Pretreatment requirements:

The moisture content needs to be adjusted to 12%~20% (too high requires drying, too low requires humidification).

Metal, stone and other impurities must be removed (magnetic separator is recommended).

How is the energy consumption of the complete wood pellet plant? What is the proportion of electricity cost?

Main power-consuming equipment: wood pellet machine (accounting for more than 50% of the total energy consumption), dryer (if necessary).

Electricity cost estimation: Producing 1 ton of pellets consumes about 80~120 degrees of electricity. (Electricity costs are estimated based on local electricity prices.)

Energy saving suggestions: If you want to save energy, you can choose variable frequency motors and waste heat recovery drying systems.

How automated is the complete wood pellet plant? How many workers are needed?

Automation level:

Semi-automatic line: 3~5 workers are needed (operation + inspection).

Fully automatic line: 1~2 workers (monitored by the central control room).

Intelligent functions: Automatic lubrication system and fault alarm can greatly reduce manual intervention.
