overview
According to the current market demand, the client of this project, a Philippine agricultural company, invested 83,000 US dollars to use idle sites to build a biomass straw wood pellet production line project with an annual output of 10,000 tons.
The raw materials of this biomass straw wood pellet production line in the Philippines project include wood boards, straw, sawdust, wood corners, etc., with a moisture content of about 10%~12%. After pelleting by the pellet machine, the moisture content can reach 6%~8% (the quality of biomass fuel requires a moisture content of less than 8%). According to the customer, depending on the actual situation, rice husks, peanut shells, leaves and other raw materials are sometimes added.
After the completion of this wood pellet mill plant project, there will be 5 employees, one shift a day, each shift working 8 hours, and 300 days of production per year.

Design of 4 t/h wood pellet production line in the Philippines
Brief description of the process flow:
- Sorting: Since the raw materials required for the project may carry some impurities such as stones and plastics, they are manually sorted before crushing to pick out impurities such as stones and plastics.
- Crushing: Since the purchased crop straw, waste wood boards, sawdust and other raw materials are large in size and cannot be directly used in the granulation process, so as not to affect the normal operation of the subsequent granulation process, it is necessary to use crushing equipment to crush the raw materials into small sizes first, which is convenient for the subsequent granulation process. The crushing system is equipped with a discharge conveyor.
- Silo: Since the particle size of the crushed raw materials is small, in order to reduce the generation of dust, the belt is used to transport them to the silo for feeding.
- Pelleting: The existing process control technology allows the crushed materials to be directly used in production without drying pretreatment; therefore, the crushed materials stored in the silo are conveyed to the silo of the extrusion molding machine through a closed conveyor, and then conveyed to the small silo of the extrusion molding equipment through the scraper conveyor and spiral conveyor of the molding machine. The extrusion molding adopts a vertical ring die multi-hole rotary extrusion method.
- Discharge cooling: The temperature of the molded fuel just out of the solid molding machine is 75-85℃. This state is easy to break and is not suitable for storage and transportation. The task of the cooling process is to cool down the high-temperature product after processing and molding so that its temperature can reach the conditions for packaging and storage. The natural cooling method is used in the entire process to make its temperature reach the conditions for packaging and storage.
- Packaging and storage: The molded particles are bagged and placed in the finished product storage area for storage.

Why carry out biomass pellet processing in the Philippines?
The prospects for carrying out wood pellet production line in the Philippines are very broad. With the transformation of the global energy structure and the improvement of environmental awareness, biomass pellets, as a clean and efficient form of energy, are gradually gaining favor in the market. As a developing country, the Philippines has a growing demand for renewable energy, and the government also strongly supports the development of renewable energy, which provides a good policy environment for the biomass pellet processing industry.

Market demand and policy support
The Philippine government’s support policy for renewable energy provides a strong guarantee for the biomass pellet processing industry. With the transformation of the global energy structure and the improvement of environmental awareness, biomass pellets, as a renewable energy, will gradually replace traditional fossil energy and become an important member of the future energy market. In addition, the Philippines is rich in agricultural and forestry resources, which provides a guarantee for the supply of raw materials for biomass pellets.

Market size and industry status
At present, the global biomass pellet market shows a trend of sustained growth. In 2023, the global biomass pellet market sales reached US$8.8 billion, and it is expected to reach US$14.8 billion in 2030, with a compound annual growth rate of 7.5%. As an important economy in Southeast Asia, the Philippines’ market size is not specifically mentioned, but considering its geographical location and economic development level, it is expected to occupy a certain proportion of the market share in Southeast Asia.

Technical level and production equipment
The continuous innovation and progress of biomass pellet processing technology provides entrepreneurs with more development opportunities and space. Modern biomass pellet processing technology includes chipping, crushing, drying, pelletizing, cooling, packaging and other links, each of which is equipped with a strict quality monitoring system to ensure the quality of the product. In addition, the agricultural and forestry machinery and equipment market in the Philippines also provides the necessary equipment support for biomass pellet processing.
