Why Choose RICHI？
Designed for continuous industrial production, our bamboo pellet machine combines a heavy-duty structure, precision manufacturing, and intelligent control technologies to ensure stable performance when processing bamboo chips, bamboo sawdust, bamboo powder, and other bamboo biomass materials.
Wear-Resistant Alloy Components
Key components such as the ring die, rollers, and bearings re forged from 42CrMo alloy steel and undergo advanced heat treatment processes. This effectively extends the overall service life of wear parts, significantly reduces downtime caused by component disassembly and replacement, and lowers long-term spare part procurement costs as well as the workload associated with routine maintenance.
Automatic Lubrication System
An intelligent lubrication system automatically supplies lubricant to core bearings, pressure roller assemblies, drive gears, and heavy-duty moving parts, thereby reducing friction and preventing equipment overheating. This ensures continuous, stable operation while minimizing the need for manual maintenance. Thanks to the fully automated oil supply function, the equipment can maintain stable, round-the-clock production, significantly lowering maintenance costs.
High-Efficiency Gear Transmission
The equipment utilizes a sealed gearbox drive system that delivers robust power and high transmission efficiency, effectively eliminating energy loss caused by belt slippage. The gears undergo a hardening process, resulting in wear-resistant tooth surfaces capable of withstanding prolonged, heavy-load friction—making them perfectly suited for the high-intensity production conditions involved in the continuous extrusion of wood chips.
Stable Feeding System
The feeding system is equipped with a variable frequency drive (VFD), allowing precise control of material flow into the pelletizing chamber. This ensures uniform feeding, prevents blockages, and improves pellet consistency.
Wood Chip Pellet Manufacturing Process
Processing raw wood chips into high-density fuel pellets of uniform specifications requires a complete, coherent, and standardized processing workflow. Processing raw wood chips into high-density fuel pellets of uniform specifications requires a comprehensive, integrated, and standardized production process. The entire workflow encompasses multiple stages—such as raw material preparation, high-pressure forming, and cooling/screening—with each step coordinated to ensure consistent product quality and continuous production efficiency. The following outlines the complete standard production process.
01
Cleaning Process
First, use an iron remover to remove impurities (such as stones, metal, etc.) from the wood chips.
02
Coarse Crushingl Process
If the raw materials are excessively large (such as pallets or tree trunks), they must first be cut into small wood chips approximately 3–5 cm in size.
03
Fine Grinding Process
Use a sawdust hammer mill to crush small wood chips into fine sawdust, facilitating subsequent pelletizing.
04
Drying Process
If the raw materials have an excessively high moisture content, they must first be dried to reduce the moisture level to approximately 10% before proceeding with pelleting.
05
pelletizing Process
Feed the sawdust into the wood pellet maker for compaction.
06
Cooling Process
Use a counterflow cooler to cool the freshly pressed wood chip pellets to room temperature, thereby enhancing their hardness and stability.
07
Screening process
The vibrating screen separates powder and substandard wood chip pellets, ensuring uniform product size.
08
Packing Process
Use an automatic packaging machine to weigh and bag the finished wood chip pellets.

Frequently Asked Questions
What raw materials can your wood chip pellet machine process?
Our wood chip pellet machine can process almost any type of biomass raw material such as sawdust, wood shavings, bark, wood chips, furniture factory scraps, waste wood pallets, branches, wood scraps, etc. In addition, some customers also mix in agricultural and forestry waste such as corn stalks, rice straw, rice husks, peanut shells and more.
In actual projects, very few people use only pure wood chips. More customers mix wood waste from different sources, which not only reduces raw material costs but also improves raw material utilization. As long as the materials are properly crushed and the moisture content is adjusted, solid, uniformly shaped pellets can be produced.
How is the pelletizing performance of your equipment?
Our wood chip pellets machine boasts a pellet formation rate of up to 98%, producing pellets that are compact and uniform in size. Simply put, the hardness of particles primarily depends on three factors:
- Raw Material Moisture Content: If the moisture content of the raw material exceeds 10–12%, the pelletizing effect is poor, and the wood chip pellets become prone to crumbling.
- Ring Die Compression Ratio: Different materials require different compression ratios. If the pressure is insufficient, the resulting pellets will be loose and brittle.
- Raw Material Type: Pellets produced from hardwoods (such as oak and beech) are generally harder than those produced from softwoods (such as pine and fir).
What is the output capacity of your wood chip pellets machine?
Our machines offer a wide range of production capacities. Our best-selling models cover a range of 0.2 to 40 tons per hour. If you require a wood chip pellet maker with an even higher production capacity, we can also provide customized solutions tailored to your specific needs.
Is your wood chip pelleting machine gear-driven or belt-driven? What is the difference?
Our machine features a heavy-duty gear transmission system. Compared to belt-driven systems, gear transmission offers approximately 15% higher transmission efficiency, delivers more robust power, is less prone to slippage, and ensures smoother operation and a longer service life—making it ideally suited for processing high-resistance, hard materials such as wood chips.
Can I start operations simply by purchasing a single wood pellet machine? What other auxiliary equipment is required?
The wood pellet machine serves as the core component. However, to produce commercial-grade pellets, a complete wood pellet production line is typically required. We can offer you wood crushers, wood dryers, pellet cooler, packing machines, conveyors, dust collecting machines, and more.
How long is the warranty period?
We offer a one-year warranty. Within this one-year period, should your equipment experience any non-human-induced malfunctions, we will dispatch an engineer to your location to inspect and repair the machine. (view our YouTube)
