Production process of wood pellet line
There is no fixed standard for the production process of wood pellet production line, the production process, equipment configuration, manufacturing technology and so on can be customized and designed according to your needs. Because different production capacity, different raw materials, different production requirements, the production process required is not the same. Here I will take raw material as logs as an example and introduce you the process of 2-2.5T/H complete wood pellet plant in detail.
01 Wood chipping section
First of all, the logs enter the chipper through the conveying equipment, the chipper can cut the logs to 3-5mm thin wood chips, which is convenient for the subsequent crushing process, and also beneficial to the drying of raw materials.
02 Wood crushing section
After chipping, the wood chips enter into the crushing section for crushing through the screw conveyor. This section mainly crushes the small wood chips into 2-3mm shavings, in order to meet the requirements of the pelletizing machine on the raw materials’ size.
03 Drying section
The following is the last step before the wood chips enter the pelletizing machine–drying section. This is a key step in the treatment of wood chips, the appropriate moisture content can ensure the pelletizing effect.
04 Pelletizing section
After drying, the wood chips enter the pelletizing section. Before pelletizing, we configure the cleaning equipment, which can effectively screen out the iron and stones that may exist in the raw material. In the pelletizing section, the wood chips enter the wood pellet machine through the feeder and are converted into wood pellets under the extrusion of the pressure rollers and the ring die. The length of wood pellets can be controlled by the cutting device, and the pellets are finally extruded out from the ring die holes.
05 cooling of wood pellets
Congratulations you have got high quality wood pellets. The following is the subsequent processing section of the wood pellets. How to deal with the wood pellets after pelletizing is also very important, such as cooling of wood pellets, which can directly cool the high temperature and high humidity wood pellets just made to room temperature and prevent the surface of wood pellets from cracking.
06 packaging of wood pellets
After cooling, you can weigh and pack the wood pellets. RICHI automatic packaging machine has a large packing capacity, high efficiency, easy to operate, and greatly reduces the cost of packaging and labor costs.

wood grinder machine
The pelletizer is a highly efficient machine used to produce wood pellets, however, not all raw materials are suitable for entering directly into the pelletizing chamber for pelletizing. Wood pelletizer has very high requirements on the moisture content and size of raw materials. Too large diameter or too high water content of raw materials are not suitable for direct use in pelletizing, which will not only have a bad damage on the pelletizer, but also affect the pelletizing effect of the pelletizing machine, which in turn affects the quality of the wood pellets, and finally affects your income. So the pre-treatment of raw materials is and its important.
Here let’s talk about how to process the size of the raw material first. For any biomass raw material with a diameter larger than 5mm, it needs to be crushed. Wood hammer mill is recognized as a suitable crusher for crushing wood chip materials, which can grind most of the raw materials, such as large branches or straws into wood chips or powder pellets. Its working principle is mainly through the raw material in the crushing chamber for repeated pounding, the raw material will be crushed.
RICHI hammer mill design is reasonable, the internal cooling structure can effectively prevent the temperature caused by friction, causing damage to the machine, which is of course, we do not want to see. Moreover, it is very durable, very convenient to operate, high efficiency, low power consumption, and is the first choice for you to purchase crushing equipment.
Wood chipper machine
But if your raw materials are logs, or raw materials with a larger diameter, then it is recommended that you configure a wood chipper to help you chip to 3-5cm, and then pulverized. Below I will briefly introduce you to this machine—wood chipper!
Drum chipper is a special equipment used to cut logs to wood chips, which can cut pine, poplar, fir and other logs into uniform high-quality wood chips, and the length and thickness of wood chips can also be adjusted according to your needs. Wood chippers are mainly divided into mobile and fixed, you can choose according to your needs. In general, the fixed type is more suitable for factories, while the mobile type is mostly used for forest plants.
Let’s understand the wood chipper from the structure, its main components are base, feed port, shell, cutter head, electronic control system, chipping blade and so on. The main principle is that the wood entering through the feed port will contact the chipping blade, and then cut with the high-speed rotation of the cutter head, the final log is chipped and to high-quality wood chips, wood chips in the cutting chamber, by the wind blades on the cutter head generated by the high-speed air flow sent out.
RICHI drum microtome is compact in structure, reasonable in design, easy to install, is your first choice in the selection of wood chip microtome equipment.

Above we know two crushing equipments which are used to cut down the diameter of raw materials, and below let’s know the drying equipment which is used to dry the raw materials!
RICHI Drum dryer with good drying effect, high efficiency and low energy consumption is the ideal equipment used for wood pellet production line. It is widely used in biomass pellet plant, chemical industry, compound fertilizer, food and other industries. In the wood pellet production line, it is mainly used for drying the raw material of wood pellets, and is usually installed in front of the pelletizing equipment.
Because the pelletizing machine has strict requirements on the moisture content of raw materials, the dryer can reduce the moisture content of raw materials to about 15%.
Cooling machine
Counterflow cooler is also a key equipment in the pellet production line. It adopts unique counter-current cooling mechanism, the cooling air moves against the high temperature and high humidity wood pellets just coming out of the pellet making machine, so that the wood pellets can be cooled gradually from top to bottom, thus preventing the surface of the wood pellets from cracking due to the sudden cold, which affects the use and sale of the wood pellets, and at the same time, this is also conducive to the storage and transportation of the wood pellets.
RICHI Countercurrent Cooler adopts a unique rotary material equalizing mechanism, which makes the cooling of the wood pellets more uniform and sufficient.
