1-2 T/H straw Pellet Production Line with Drying
The client needs to process livestock feed by mixing straw with wheat, corn, and soybean meal. The straw is supplied in bulk and can be pulverized directly; however, as the raw material has a moisture content of 40%–50%, it requires pre-drying before being mixed with the other ingredients and pelletized.
The complete straw processing line is equipped with a straw pulverizer, rotary dryer, feed mixer, pellet mill, cooler, screener, and bagging scale.
1.8-2 T/H Straw Pellet Production Line
This client intends to produce pellet fuel from materials such as straw, rice husks, and peanut shells. As the initial moisture content of the raw materials is around 10%, no drying process is required. The complete production line is equipped with a disc bale breaker, crusher, straw pellet mill, cooler, screener, packaging machine, dust collector, storage silo, and conveyors. The equipment setup is streamlined and compact, making it ideal for small-scale straw pellet plants.
8-10 T/H Straw Pellet Production Line with 2 Pellet Machines
This production line has a rated capacity of 8–10 tons per hour and is compatible with various crop residues, such as corn, wheat, and rice straw. The design excludes a drying stage, requiring the raw material’s initial moisture content to be kept below 15%. The line features a linear, sequential layout, with the process flow proceeding as follows: bale breaking, fine grinding, pelletizing, cooling, screening, and packaging.
Key design highlights include a parallel configuration utilizing dual grinders and dual pelletizers; this setup reduces the operating load on individual units and effectively lowers the probability of equipment failure. Additionally, a sectional dust removal system is integrated throughout the line, allowing all collected dust and fine particles to be recovered and reused, thereby enhancing raw material utilization.
3-4 T/H Straw Pellet Line × 2 Complete Sets (MC 70%)
The client intends to process baled straw into roughage with a target production capacity of 6–8 tons per hour, while requiring the flexibility to reduce output during unfavorable market conditions. As the raw material has an initial moisture content of approximately 70%, a drying process is essential.
The overall process involves unbaling and shredding the straw, followed by distribution to two identical, independent production lines. Each line is equipped with two dryers, a pulverizer, a pellet mill, a cooler, a screener, and packaging equipment.
These two lines operate independently, allowing for simultaneous operation or the use of a single line to flexibly adjust production output.

Straw Pellet Machines for Sale Worldwide
Finding the ideal straw pellet machine is more than just investing in durable machinery—it means partnering with a proficient engineering team with proven expertise. Our track record spans countless pellet production undertakings of every output level, including small farms and large-scale industrial biomass pellet manufacturing plants. Here are some straw pellets machine projects we have delivered for your reference.
Please refer to the following investment advice：
Start with your production target
Your capacity requirement directly determines the overall process design and equipment scale.
- Small-scale: for local fuel use or farm-level production
- Medium-scale: for commercial sales and regional supply
- Large-scale: for industrial biomass energy projects
Define your end product requirements
Fuel pellets for boilers and heating? animal bedding? or livestock feed pellets? Different applications require different pellet density, durability, and moisture control standards.
Evaluate your raw material conditions
Different raw materials require different processing approaches. Ask key questions: Is the straw baled or loose? What is the moisture level? Are impurities or soil content high? This will determine whether you need bale breaker systems, crushing units and drying systems or not.
Choose the right level of automation
Automation should match your labor cost and production stability needs.
- Fully automatic: higher investment, but stable production and lower operating cost
- Manual / semi-automatic: lower investment, more labor required

Frequently Asked Questions
Can my raw materials (such as wheat straw, corn stalks, rice husks, etc.) be used for pelletizing? What pre-treatment is required?
→
The straw pellet plant can process all kinds of biomass raw materials. For examples, barley straw, wheat straw,rice straw, bean stalks, corn stalks, cotton stalks, peanut vines, alfalfa, hay, Ryegrass, elephant grass, etc. If your raw material consists of straw bales, they must first be unpacked. If the moisture content of the raw material is too high (>20%), drying is recommended. Additionally, all raw materials must be pulverized into powder before pelletizing.
What is the production capacity?
→
We provide customized solutions ranging from small-scale systems to large industrial production lines, with processing capacities typically between 0.2 and 20 tons per hour. Final output depends on raw material conditions, particle size, and production requirements.
How much does a straw pellet factory cost?
→
The investment cost depends on several factors, including production capacity, raw material preparation requirements, equipment configuration, automation level, and installation requirements. We provide customized solutions based on each customer’s specific project needs.
Do you provide a complete turnkey solution?
→
Yes. We provide complete turnkey solutions covering process design, equipment manufacturing, installation guidance, commissioning, operator training, and after-sales support to help customers build efficient straw pellet production plants.
How do you design a customized straw pellet processing line?
→
We design each straw pellet project based on the customer’s raw materials, production capacity, final pellet application, factory layout, and local operating conditions. Our engineers analyze the entire process to ensure stable production and optimized performance.
Can your straw pelleting production line process baled straw?
→
Yes. We can offer bale breaking system to handle large square bales and round bales. The system automatically loosens and prepares straw for further processing.
Does straw pellet production require a drying system?
→
It depends on the moisture content of the raw material. Straw with high moisture requires drying before pelletizing, while naturally dry materials may need less or no drying. We select the suitable drying solution according to actual conditions.
How long does it take to install a straw pellet plant?
→
The installation period depends on the project scale, equipment configuration, and site conditions. Small projects may require several weeks, while large biomass pellet plants need longer preparation and commissioning periods.
Do you provide installation and after-sales service?
→
Yes. We provide technical support throughout the straw pellet plant project, including installation guidance, commissioning assistance, spare parts supply, maintenance suggestions, and long-term after-sales service. (view our YouTube)
