Bamboo Pellet Machine & Pellet Production Line

Bamboo is a natural choice for biomass energy production. Bamboo is a member of grass family though they are woody in nature. There are here are about 1250 species of bamboo in the world with a height of 10-40 cm. Bamboo can be harvested 4 times in a year and with millions and millions hectares world widely, which means bamboo is potentially a kind of sustainable biomass fuel.

• The bamboo pellet machine is widely used for pelletizing of biomass materials, such as wood chips, sawdust, straw, husk, shells, pasture, chrysanthemum, palm leaf and so on;
• The bamboo pellet mill feeder's especial structure makes materials conveyed evenly. It is specially designed for pelletizing of biomass substances with the density of 0.15-0.65g/cm3;
• The feeder, conditioner and chute of bamboo pelletizing machine are made of stainless steel with long service life;
• The bamboo pellet making machine is with magnet and over load protection system which can protect machine well during production;
• The bamboo pellet forming machine makes gear directly-connecting as the driver and is with quick-release die fixed by clamps,which can increase the output by 15% more than the same type machine with belt-convey;
• The bearings and oil seals in the main drivers are imported to ensure highly-efficient,stability and credibility.

The bamboo pellet pressing machine process: crushed bamboo material is fed evenly by the forced feeding device, the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the ring die, and the action of the feeding scraper. The two pressing areas in the ring die are in the wedge-shaped space formed by the two press rollers and the ring die.

Under the strong squeezing action of the ring die and the press roller, the bamboo material is gradually compacted, squeezed into the die hole of the ring die and shaped in the die hole. Because the extrusion of the material between the die and the roller is continuous, the formed bamboo material is continuously discharged from the die hole in a columnar shape, and then cut into bamboo pellets of the required length by the cutter, and then enters the next process.

As clean bio-energy, bamboo pellets have better flow properties. Densification into pellets reduces material wastage and improves ease of transporting and storage. Bamboo Pellet's Specification is as follows:

• Density: >1.22kg/m3
• Diameter: 6-12mm
• Length: 6-12mm
• Calorie: 4500-4800KCAL/KG (18.8-20MJ/kg)
• Moisture: standard 8.7%, 9.6%max
• Ash Content: standard 0.9%, 1.1%max

Kindly notice that moisture content and pellet size affects the physical and combustion properties of bamboo pellets. The effects of moisture content on bamboo pellet’s physical properties include length, diameter, pellet moisture content, unit density and bulk density.

And some researches have proved that when moisture content is about 16% and pellet sizes mixed in the bamboo pellets manufacturing process id the optimum choice.

The bamboo residues transported into bamboo pellet plant will be reduced into proper size, and the processed bamboo dusts will be dried and fed into bamboo pellet mills and be compressed into pellets.

The newly pressed bamboo pellets will be cooled down to become solid and gain strength and at same time will be screened to separate the bamboo pellets and bamboo dust, then packed for storage or transportation.

The whole production process of making bamboo pellets is similar to other biomass pellets production such as sawdust pellets, wood pellets, rice husk pellets and others. The bamboo pellets can be made for small scale household use and large scale commercial use.

Bamboo pellets are small and often look like enlarged capsules. They are shinny with an appearance of a furnished piece of wood. The bamboo biomass pellet production line process usually includes crushing, drying, pelletizing, cooling and bagging, storage.

Detail information about the bamboo pellet manufacturing process are shown below：

01

Crushing system

Crushing is used to break the thick and long bamboo stalks into small pieces by use of a bamboo chipper and into powder by use of a bamboo hammer mill. But before the beginning of the crushing process, one needs to separate the bamboo materials from dust and debris. Thereafter, the bamboo waste can be crushed into powder.

(Screen the bamboo stalks and leaves from the impurities and hard objects, put the pure raw materials into the bamboo hammer mill and crush them into bamboo powder. Bamboo material with large size is not available for pelletizing directly. Our bamboo crusher has the function of raw material chipping and crushing, which is the optimal choice for bamboo pre-processing. Different bamboo materials will have different types and quantities of crushers.)

02

Drying system

Before pelletizing, the moisture content of bamboo powder need be about 12%-15%. Dry them in the sun or by dryer machine if the moisture content is higher. The drum dryer can help you to adjust the moisture content of the bamboo powder.

03

Pelletizing system

The pelletizing process will see the compression of the dried powder into pellets at high speeds and high pressure. A bamboo pellet press or bamboo pellet making machine is required for this process. You can use a ring die bamboo pellet press machine for domestic purposes or an industrial bamboo pellet mill for large scale commercial production.

RICHI bamboo fuel pellet making machine capacity ranges from 300-4500kg/h, you can purchase suitable bamboo pellet machine according to your practical needs. A ring die pellet machine for bamboo pellets can process pellets in both large and small quantity in biomass fuel pellet plant.

04

Cooling system

Note that palletization usually leaves the pellets with high temperatures hence there is need to cool them down in order to maintain their quality and durability. A bamboo pellet cooling machine is used to cool down the bamboo pellets’ temperatures.

If the moisture content of the material is too high, the amount of steam added during pelleting will be reduced, which will affect the increase of the poultry feed making machine pelleting temperature, thereby affecting the yield and quality of pelleted feed.

05

Packing & storaging system

After pelletizing, the moisture content and temperature of bamboo pellets are high, so it is necessary to cool down pellets. The counterflow cooler can cool the bamboo pellets efficiently, or the high temperature bamboo pellets can't keep in shape.
