Process Flow Of complete wood pellet plant for sale
— Richi Machinery —
As a clean and renewable wood energy source, wood pellets have the advantages of high combustion efficiency and low pollutant emissions. Different types of wood pellet factory have different production processes. Among them, the dedicated wood pellet line stands out due to its targeted advantages, enabling efficient production of high-quality pellets.Below is a detailed introduction to its production process.
Raw Material Collection and Processing
The raw materials for this complete wood pellet plant for sale have a wide range of sources. Common materials include miscellaneous wood logs, as well as wood processing residues like scrap materials and wood shavings. For large and hard materials such as logs and wood blocks, we first need to use a drum chipper.
With its high-speed rotating blades or hammers, the chipper can cut them into 2 – 3cm thin slices. During the chipping process, operators will adjust parameters reasonably according to the type and hardness of the raw materials, like the blade rotation speed and feeding speed, to ensure a good chipping effect and the normal operation of the equipment.
Crushing Stage
The processed wood chips are conveyed to the crushing stage by a belt conveyor, where they are further processed into wood chips of suitable pellet size. Besides the well-processed wood chips, branches, sawdust, and other wood processing residues that haven’t been chipped also need to be crushed.
The material is crushed into 3 – 5mm material through impacting, shearing, and grinding in the crusher. The crusher is also equipped with a thickened screen. The qualified material that’s been cut will fall through the mesh screen holes and be discharged from the bottom, and the larger parts will be cut again in the machine. This ensures the material is not wasted, and finally the material is sent to the drying section.
Drying stage
The moisture content of raw materials has an important impact on the quality and production efficiency of wood pellets. If the moisture content of the raw materials is too high, the pellets will be loose, have low strength, or even fail to form during the pelletizing process. So, drying treatment is necessary.
The dryer is a key equipment for reducing the moisture content of raw materials. Currently, the commonly used dryer is the rotary drum dryer. Hot air fully contacts the wood chips inside the drum, evaporating and carrying away the moisture to achieve quick and even drying. During the drying process, it’s necessary to precisely control the drying temperature and rotation speed. Generally, the moisture content is controlled between 13% and 18%.
Pelletizing Stage
Pelletizing is the core part of the wood pellet plant and also the key step in transforming raw materials into pellet fuel.
During operation, the materials are transported to the feeding port of the pellet machine. This feeding port has a large chamber and is equipped with a unbundling device, which effectively prevents material arching. Under the extrusion of the roller, the wood chips are squeezed through the die holes of the ring die to form cylindrical pellets.
Cooling stage
The wood pellets that have just come out of the pellet machine are at a relatively high temperature, generally between 70 – 90℃, and contain a certain amount of moisture. If they are packaged directly, the pellets are prone to deformation and mold growth due to the high temperature and moisture, which will affect the quality and storage stability of the pellets. Therefore, cooling treatment is necessary.
We use a counter-flow cooler to let cold air come into contact with the hot pellets, enabling the pellets to cool down. There’s a rotary screenner at the bottom end that separates the qualified pellets from the broken pieces and powder. The separated broken pieces and powder can be sent back to the front end of the pelletizing process through a conveying device to be made into pellets again, which improves the utilization rate of the raw materials.
Packaging stage
After the cooling process, the wood pellets are weighed and packaged by an automatic packaging machine.
The packaged biomass pellet fuel can be transported to various places and plays an important role in industrial production, heating, and other fields.
The entire production line is also equipped with feeding hoppers, making it convenient to add materials at different stages. Meanwhile, using wind transportation system can improve the production efficiency of some stages.

Main Equipment Of complete wood pellet plant for sale
A complete and efficient production line where the performance of the main equipment is very important, and they work together to convert raw materials into high-quality wood pellets. Let me introduce the main equipment of RICHI Machinery’s wood pellet line.
wood pellet Crusher
The crusher is an important processing equipment in the wood pellet plant. Its main function is to break down large-sized biomass raw materials, such as logs, branches, straws, etc., into small particles or powdered materials suitable for processing. Here are some common types:
Drum Chipper: The main material is logs, which are used to cut logs into 2-3cm thin sheets.
Water drop Crusher: It mainly crushes small wood chips into 3-5mm sawdust, making it easier for pelletizing.
In addition to the commonly used crushers for wood chips, we also have grass straw crushers, which mainly used to crush lightweight materials like forage, straws, and rice husks, and generally equipped with a forced feeder.
wood pellet Dryer
The main function of the wood pellet dryer is to reduce the moisture content of biomass raw materials so that they meet the requirements of the pelletizing process. An appropriate moisture content is crucial for ensuring the molding quality and combustion performance of the pellets. RICHI wood pellet plant commonly uses a rotary drum dryer. The machine is placed horizontally, and it employs wind transportation system to draw out the material, ensuring that material with a moisture content of 18% can be extracted.
wood Pellet Machine
The wood granulator machine is used to turn sawdust and other raw materials into pellets. RICHI Machinery’s pellet machines are of high quality. The rollers are made of 40CrMnTi, and the ring dies are made of 42CrMo, which gives them corrosion resistance and allows the equipment to run for a long time. Common pellet sizes are 4mm, 6mm, and 8mm.
Besides wood pellet machines, RICHI Machinery also offers forage pellet machines and organic fertilizer pellet machine. With a wide variety of options, it can meet all the needs for biomass pellet production.
wood pellet Cooler
RICHI Machinery mainly uses counterflow coolers for cooling the finished pellets. By applying the counter-flow cooling principle, it prevents sudden cooling that could cause the pellet surfaces to crack. At the same time, the air lock is used, and the air inlet area is large and the cooling effect is remarkable.
The main equipment in the wood pellet plant work closely together to transform raw materials into high-quality wood pellets. As technology continues to advance and innovate, these pieces of equipment will keep upgrading and improving, providing stronger support for the development of the wood pellet industry.
