wood pellet production line in Italy
The wood pellet production line in Italy, a 10T/H wood pellet production line, was completed on May 25, 2022, and has been in operation for over three and a half years. The line primarily processes wood planks, wooden frames, scraps, and waste wood from furniture factories. Crushing, drying, pelletizing, cooling, screening, packaging—this line runs through all these steps to make 6-8mm biomass pellets for Italy’s industrial heating and power generation. It makes about 24,000 tons a year, with strong capacity, low energy costs, and total automated control.
In addition to this production line, RICHI has also launched several wood processing projects in Italy that meet local needs, such as wood waste recycling projects that deal with discarded scraps from furniture factories and wood processing plants. In addition, many customers do not need to process wood into pellets, but instead need to crush logs, boards or waste into wood chips or wood powder of specific sizes (for papermaking, artificial board production or garden mulch, etc.). RICHI can meet these diverse processing needs.

Project Overview of wood pellet production line in Italy
Project Introduction
- The wood pellet production line in Italy uses waste scraps from furniture and paper mills as its primary raw material. The project is designed to produce 10 tons of wood pellets per hour, with an annual production capacity of approximately 24,000 tons. The finished product will have a size of 6-8 mm and will be sold in the industrial heating and power generation markets.
Construction Schedule
- Contract signing in March 2022, equipment installation and commissioning completed within 50 days, and official commissioning by June 2023.
Core Process Flow
- Wood blocks of various types → Belt conveyor → Magnetic separation and iron removal → Wood pallet chipper → Wood chip hammer mill (3-4 mm) → Rotary dryer machine (moisture content ≤ 15%) → Four MZLH520 ring die wood granulator machine (132 kW each) → Wood cooler → Vibrating screen → Automatic packaging machine (20-50 kg/bag or bulk).
Workshop Size
- It’s a 1,200 sqm steel building. The 800 sqm main workshop (40m x 20m x 8m) holds all equipment and allows material movement. The 400 sqm auxiliary space has pre-treatment, packaging, control room and spare parts storage, meeting Italy D.Lgs. 81/2008 safety standards.
Customer Review
- “The production line’s actual production capacity is stable at 10.2-10.5 tons/hour. After 12 months of operation, there have been no failures, and the finished product qualification rate is extremely high. After-sales service is responsive and remote commissioning is efficient. We plan to purchase a second biomass production line in 2026.”
Delivery and After-sales Service
- RICHI offers turnkey services, including bilingual (English and Italian) technical documents, remote PLC debugging, 60 days of on-site installation. When we’re on-site, we bring 5 engineers and Italian translators to help everyone understand each other. We also give a lifetime warranty and are online 24/7—any questions get quick answers, so the production line keeps going non-stop all year.

What are the features of wood pellet production line in Italy?
For this wood pellet production line in Italy, the customer’s requirements were: adaptability to their own raw materials, full-featured conveyor system options (to maintain a clean and tidy workshop), and a balance of high production capacity and practicality. They wanted to process and reuse different waste wood efficiently, while also meeting local production standards and their specific equipment needs.
- To ensure workshop cleanliness, all conveyor belts are equipped with fully enclosed protective covers and dust removal equipment to prevent dust leakage.
- Using waste scraps from furniture and paper mills as raw material, the line is designed to produce 10 tons per hour—actually, it can produce 10.2-10.5 tons per hour, totaling around 24,000 tons per year.
- Wood chips can be produced through a drum chipper, or crushed to 3-4mm in size and pressed into 6-8mm pellets by four 132KW MZLH520 ring die pelletizers. These pellets can be used for industrial heating and power generation, thus realizing waste resource utilization.
- Core motors and electrical components are UL certified; the 1,200-square-meter workshop (800-square-meter main workshop + 400-square-meter auxiliary area) meets local safety requirements.
- Equipped with magnetic separation and dust control equipment, emissions meet EPA standards and can be put into production without modification.
- The entire process is automated, requiring minimal personnel monitoring. Upon request, fully enclosed protective covers were installed on the conveyors to prevent dust and debris contamination.
- The unit processing energy consumption is only 85 kWh/ton, lower than the industry average, resulting in long-term cost savings.
wood pellet production line in Italy: Complete Production Process
If you’re looking for a 10-ton/hour wood production line in the Italy to convert waste wood into high-profit products like wood chips or wood pellets, understanding its production process is crucial. Whether you’re processing furniture factory waste, paper mill waste, or logs, this highly efficient wood production line can handle it consistently and efficiently. Below is a detailed breakdown of its production process, which we hope will be helpful.
1. Raw Material Pretreatment—RIBPC 1250*450 Wood pallet chipper
The project makes perfect use of the abundant logs, wood chips, pallet waste and furniture waste in Italy, which undergo simple pre-treatment and are subsequently cut into uniform sizes using wood chippers or shaving machines, ready for further processing.
2. Pulverization—SFSP66*150 Wood chip hammer mill
After that, the cut wood chips are fed into the grinder and crushed into 3-5mm fine pellets. Consistent pellet size helps with uniform heating in pelletizing and improves material density.
3. Drying Process—φ1.8*36 Wood drying machine
Due to Italy’s Mediterranean climate, wood moisture fluctuates significantly, reaching over 25% during rainy periods. This high moisture content requires drying in a drum or airflow dryer before feeding the pelletizer. To achieve optimal pelletizing results, we reduce the moisture content to approximately 10-15%.
4. Pelletizing—MZLH520 wood pellet mill machine
The wood pelletizer is the core process in Italy’s wood pellet production line. After conditioning, the material enters the wood pelletizer, where it is extruded through high-pressure dies to form uniformly dense wood pellets or other finished products suitable for industrial heating and residential heating applications.
5. Cooling Process—SKLF20*20 wood cooler machine
The freshly pressed wood pellets reach a temperature of 80-90°C and are not very firm. Countercurrent coolers are used to cool them to ambient temperature to ensure stable storage for 6-12 months in Italy’s humid environment.
6. Screening and Grading—SCQZ60*50*100 wood screening machine
The Italian market has strict requirements for pellet powder content. Therefore, after cooling, the finished pellets must pass through a screening machine. A screening machine removes fines and unqualified pellets, ensuring a pure and uniform final product.
7. Packaging Process—DCS-50P*2 Automatic wood baling machine
Qualified pellets are then packaged in fixed quantities by an automatic packaging machine for easy storage, transportation, and distribution, meeting the needs of both industrial and consumer markets in Italy.
