Capacity matching analysis:

According to the information provided by the our engineer, the output of the 858 biomass pellet mill can reach 4 tons per hour. The wood pellet production plant in Brazil project is equipped with 4 pelletizers, and the annual production time is 2400h. The annual pelletizing capacity of the project is 38,400 tons, which can meet the production needs of the project. The sawdust and shavings of this project do not need to be crushed. Only large pieces such as wood blocks and branches need to be crushed.

The annual consumption of branches and wood blocks is 10,000 tons. This project has 1 crusher, model 1600*800, crushing capacity of the crusher is 5t/h, crushing time is 2400h, and can complete the annual crushing of 10,000 tons of waste wood.

Process design

According to the customer's raw materials, plant conditions and process requirements, the wood pellet production line process we design for the customer is as follows:<、p>

1. Receiving raw materials: The raw materials purchased from outside the wood pellet production plant in Brazil project are transported to the factory area by transport vehicles, and the raw materials are transported to the raw material storage site by belt conveyors for stacking. When in use, they are transported to the feeding port by forklifts for feeding.
2. Chipping/crushing: The raw materials in this expansion project are mainly bamboo sawdust, wood shavings, sawdust, waste wood, etc. Large raw materials such as waste wood are transported to the crusher by forklifts for crushing into fine materials, and then transported to the crusher through belt corridors for crushing. When processing waste wood, the feeding port for fine raw materials does not work. Small raw materials such as bamboo sawdust, wood shavings, sawdust, etc. are directly fed into the crusher after feeding and crushed into fine materials with a size of less than 9mm.
3. Screening: The fine raw materials after crushing are transported to the screening machine by belt corridors for screening, and qualified crushed materials and metal debris such as iron nails and iron wire contained in the original raw materials are screened out. Unqualified large particles are returned to the crushing process for re-crushing. The generated metal debris such as nails and wires are collected and sold.
4. Drying: The project uses a biomass thermal oil furnace for heating. The thermal oil contacts the air through a heat exchanger to transfer heat, so that the air reaches the set temperature, thereby drying the powder. The thermal oil is circulated in the thermal oil system and replaced once a year. After screening, the material is transported to the boiler drum using a belt corridor. The drum ensures that the material is heated evenly. This process dries the material to a moisture content of 15%. The heating temperature of the project's biomass thermal oil furnace is 110℃, and the ignition point of wood is 250~260℃. A small amount of smoke will be generated in a high-temperature closed environment. However, due to the low furnace temperature and short heating time, the raw material is not carbonized and no wood tar or wood vinegar is produced.
5. Granulation: The dried biomass powder is transported to the biomass pellet machine through a belt corridor for pressing and molding. During the pelleting process, this project does not heat, add any adhesive, or cause chemical reactions, and is completed only through physical extrusion.
6. Cooling: The temperature of the biomass raw materials after pelleting is high and needs to be cooled to room temperature. The pelletized biomass pellets are transported to the cooler via a conveyor belt for cooling to ensure that the biomass pellets remain dry and intact during the cooling process to achieve the molding effect. The dry material bin equipment is sealed and the cooling dust is not discharged. The cooled pellets enter the screening equipment to screen out unqualified pellets.
7. Packaging: The qualified products after screening are sent to the pellet bin through the belt corridor for temporary storage, and then packaged by the packaging machine. The finished bagged products are stored in the finished product warehouse.

Prospects of starting Wood Pellets plant in Brazil

‌Brazilian pellet industry is young, has great potential for expansion and could contribute to the strengthening of the Brazilian sustainable energy matrix. The prospects of wood pellet processing in Brazil are generally positive, but there are also some challenges. ‌

1. First, Brazil has abundant wood resources, which provides a stable supply of raw materials for wood pellet processing. Brazil is a vast country with a sparse population and high forest coverage. It has abundant wood resources, which are not only diverse in variety but also of high quality, providing a stable supply of raw materials for wood processing plants. In addition, the price of wood in Brazil is relatively low, which provides cost advantages for wood pellet processing.
2. The Brazilian government has given certain policy support to the wood processing industry. The government has introduced a series of support policies, including tax incentives, financial support and technical support, which help to reduce the cost of entrepreneurship and increase the success rate of entrepreneurship. ‌
3. However, there are also some challenges in the wood pellet processing industry in Brazil. For example, although Brazilian pellet producers have the ability to produce more wood pellets, the actual production volume has not reached the expected level. This is mainly due to insufficient understanding of the advantages of pellets and the fact that the domestic market is still in the development stage. In addition, small wood processing plants may face the risk of bankruptcy, which may have a negative impact on the overall development of the industry.
4. Despite the challenges, Brazil's wood pellet processing market still has broad room for development. As the global demand for sustainable energy increases, the market demand for wood pellets as an efficient energy solution is growing. As an important economy in South America, Brazil's wood processing products are highly competitive in the international market. In addition, Brazil's labor costs are relatively low, which greatly reduces the cost of wood production and processing, providing entrepreneurs with greater profit margins.

In summary, the prospects for wood pellet processing in Brazil are generally positive, but entrepreneurs need to fully understand the market and policy environment and do a good job of risk management to cope with possible challenges.
