Workflow of Wood Pellet Production Line
Understanding the workflow of complete wood pellet production line helps clarify the equipment required for building a wood pellet plant.Wood pellet production involves six stages: chipping, crushing, drying, pelleting, cooling and screening, and packaging.
Chipping Stage
01
Raw wood materials are transported via conveyor belts into a drum chipper, where they are chipped into 3 cm to 5 cm thin flakes. These flakes are then conveyed into a water-drop hammer mill through two conveyor belts.
Crushing Stage
02
The chipped materials, after initial chipping and iron removal, are conveyed into a pre-crushing bin via a conveyor belt and then processed in the water-drop hammer mill for further crushing.
Drying Stage
03
Behind the inclined conveyor belt is a pneumatic three-way diverter that sorts materials based on moisture content. Materials that do not meet the required moisture standards are directed into the drying system for processing.
Pelleting Stage
04
After entering the pelleting chamber, the materials undergo dual rolling by two press rollers and are cut with a single cutter, producing pellets with a longer and more uniform granularity.
Cooling and Screening Stage
05
The finished wood pellets enter the cooler through an airlock at the top. Natural cool air enters from the side valves at the bottom of the cooling chamber, carrying away hot air and reducing the pellet temperature to room temperature.
Packaging Stage
06
The finished wood pellets are filtered through a rotary grading screen, conveyed via pipelines into the packaging-ready bin, and finally packaged and sewn using a specialized pellet packaging scale, resulting in high-quality wood pellet products.
Equipment for Wood Pellet Production Line
The combustion resistance of wood pellets ultimately depends on the technical robustness of the production line equipment. RICHI’s fully automated wood pellet production line integrates high-standard machinery throughout every stage—chipping, crushing, drying, pelleting, and cooling—helping you transform challenging raw materials such as logs, wood planks, and wood chips into high-energy, low-dust premium pellets.
