RICHI’s low investment high return biomass wood pelleting plant consists of a variety of supporting equipment, in addition to the crushing and pelletizing system, it also includes: conveying system, drying system, cooling system, dust removal system, packaging system, etc.

In the winter of 2022, energy crises have occurred in many countries. I don’t think I need to elaborate on the prospects for wood pellets anymore. The pellet fuel produced by RICHI wood pellet production line can not only save energy but also have good economic and social benefits. It is the best choice to replace fossil fuels.

Our wood pellet fuel processing line can be customized according to user needs such as the characteristics and production capacity of different wood waste and other biomass waste!

How to invest in the construction of a 5 t/h wood pellet processing plant?

As an excellent choice to replace highly polluting fossil fuels (coal, fuel oil, etc.), biomass pellets are increasingly becoming a rookie in the energy industry. The wood pellet machine is also an important production equipment in the energy industry. Choosing a good wood pellet machine is crucial to your success, and RICHI pellet machine is your best choice.

(1) Regarding investing in building a factory, first you need to purchase the entire production line. The equipment required depends on your feedstock, the smaller the physical size of the feedstock, the less equipment is required.

For example, if you use fresh logs, you need not only coarse crushing and fine crushing equipment, but also a dryer to process the raw materials. In this case, the investment will obviously be relatively high;

If you use dry wood chips, shavings (generally easy to obtain from sawdust mills, furniture factories, board factories), all you need are screening machines, pellet machines, cooling machines, and packaging machines.

Therefore, you need to fully consider the factors of raw materials to choose a 5t/h wood pellet processing plant construction plan, or you can also consult us, and RICHI engineers will tailor a solution for you to help you succeed!

(2) In addition, the quality of the equipment cannot be ignored. Excellent and precise workmanship, high standard quality control means low machine failure rate and high pellet yield rate.

A good wood pellet maker can achieve continuous production throughout the day without any problems, the quality of granules can strictly meet the requirements of customers, and the equipment is completely fault-free, allowing you to use it with peace of mind and peace of mind.

RICHI wood pellet machine has been tested by the market and customers, the quality of the equipment and our service are worthy of your trust!

Richi Machinery can provide customers with complete tailor-made production solutions. By pursuing perfect quality control and after-sales service, we can precisely customize solutions to meet customers’ needs and have earned a reputation worldwide. We are always ready to serve you!

5 ton per hour wood pellet production process flow

The production process of this 5t/h wood pellet processing plant project is relatively simple, and all processes are physical processes.

(1) Raw materials

The raw materials of the project are transported by car to the raw material workshop for standby.

(2) Granulation

The sawdust raw material of this project has been crushed before entering the factory, and can be directly entered into the wood granulator machine for granulation. The raw material for granulation is only wood chips without any additives. The principle of the wood pellet press is that fine materials are rolled and extruded by rollers.

The granulation process adopts electric heating, and the granulation temperature is 80℃-120℃. Sawdust is deformed and extruded into granules under high temperature and high pressure. Transported to the next process by belt conveyor.

(Water vapor is the evaporation of water in raw materials due to high temperature and high pressure in the granulation process. The moisture content of raw materials for this project is about 8%, and the moisture content of finished products is 7.8%. The water vapor generated by this project is about 24t/a.)

(3) Packaging

The temperature of compressed wood pellets is generally 40-50℃, and they need to be cooled during packaging. The finished products after granulation are transported to the finished product yard by the conveyor belt for natural cooling.

And then packaged after cooling. In order to save costs, and the customer’s local labor cost is low, we design a manual packaging section for the customer.

Public works

(1) Water supply

The water supply of this 5t/h wood pellet processing plant project comes from the self-provided well in the factory area. During the operation period of this project, no water is needed for production, and the water used is mainly domestic water for employees.

There are a total of 10 employees in this project, and the annual working hours are about 300 days, and none of them have board and lodging in the factory area.

(2) Power supply

The project is powered by the power supply system, and the annual power consumption is about 30,000 KWh. There is no backup diesel generator in the site.

General layout

This project leases the completed factory building, the site is roughly rectangular, and an entrance and exit is set on the south side. According to the site provided by the customer, RICHI Engineering will carry out the whole wood pellet plant layout for the customer:

5 t/h wood pellet processing plant design

  1. Crushing: The new design wood pellet line project will manually sieve the purchased waste wood, waste wooden furniture and other materials that do not contain toxic and harmful substances such as paint and glue, and place large pieces (pieces) of raw materials through forklifts or forklifts. Crushing is carried out on the machine.
  2. Grinding: small pieces (pieces) of raw materials are crushed together with the crushed materials through a grinder (the particle size after crushing is less than 5mm), and the crushed wood powder is transported to the wood pellet machine through a closed pipeline Equipment granulation chamber.
  3. Granulation: Through the high-speed rotation of the ring die, the sawdust raw material begins to heat up and become soft (the pressure of the high-speed rotating roller can reach 300T, and the temperature of the sawdust can reach 100℃ to 130℃).

    The softened and heated sawdust raw material is extruded through the holes of the ring die under strong pressure. During this process, the wood chip has increased compactness, reduced moisture content, and a compression ratio of 5.5:1.
  4. Granulation: Through the high-speed rotation of the ring die, the sawdust raw material begins to heat up and become soft (the pressure of the high-speed rotating roller can reach 300T, and the temperature of the sawdust can reach 100℃ to 130℃). The softened and heated sawdust raw material is extruded through the holes of the ring die under strong pressure. During this process, the wood chip has increased compactness, reduced moisture content, and a compression ratio of 5.5:1.
  5. Cooling & Sieving & Packaging: Then cool and dry naturally, and then sieve through the drum sieve in the conveyor belt. After the biomass particles are screened, they are transported to the finished product warehouse, where they can be packaged and shipped.

Note:

  • The moisture content of the raw materials of the 5t/h wood pellet processing plant project is 8%-15%, which meets the requirements of granulation and molding, so there is no need to dry or add water during the production process;
  • All wood raw materials are pure wood materials. It is strictly forbidden to recycle waste furniture with paint, glue, etc. On the one hand, it can improve product quality, and on the other hand, it can avoid the impact of introducing organic waste gas pollutants.
  • The crushing, pulverizing and granulating process of the raw materials of the project are respectively carried out in the closed cavity of the crusher, pulverizer and granulator, and the pulverizer and the granulator are connected and transported through the closed pipeline.

General layout

The 5t/h wood pelleting plant project building includes 2 workshops:

  • Plant 1: The northwest is the crushing area, the northeast area is the crushing area and reserved workshop, and the south is the raw material area;
  • Plant 2: The western area is the granulation area, and the eastern area is the warehouse.

RICHI is committed to the R&D and manufacturing of pellet mills and supporting equipment, and can provide customers with wood pellet production engineering services from land construction planning, process design, automation control, equipment manufacturing, installation and commissioning, personnel training to after-sales service.
