5-6T/H Biomass Wood Pellet Production Line in Colombia

Project composition and construction content

The biomass wood pellet production line in Colombia project covers an area of 3661m2 and a total construction area of 3000m2. The main construction contents of the project are as follows:

Main production process design

Screening

Screen the purchased raw materials (sawdust, straw) to remove the impurities (large particles of sand and gravel).

Crushing and pulverizing

Purchase raw materials (the raw materials used in this project are dry raw materials, and the moisture content of raw materials is ≤10%), and manually put the raw materials into the crusher for crushing.

The materials after preliminary crushing are then sent to the crusher for crushing through a bucket car. Some of the raw materials contain iron nails, which need to be removed. The project crusher and crusher are equipped with iron removal devices (magnets).

Drying

The moisture content of the raw and auxiliary materials entering the site is about 40%. Drying can remove some moisture, but the process requires the moisture content to be below 20%, so the raw materials need to be dried.

The dryer used in this project is an electric dryer, which can effectively reduce the moisture content of the raw and auxiliary materials to below 20%.

Pellet pressing

This Colombia biomass pellet production line project conveys the crushed powder through a belt to the hot pressing biomass pellet machine, and presses it into granules under high temperature and high pressure.

The biomass pellet mill of this project uses electricity as energy to provide power. Hot pressing molding process is one of the most widely used biomass compression molding processes.

For different raw material types, particle sizes, moisture content and molding equipment, the molding process parameters must also change accordingly. However, since lignin begins to soften and become sticky at 70~100℃, it becomes molten when the temperature reaches 200~300℃ and has high viscosity. It can act as a binder during the hot pressing process.

Therefore, the heating and molding temperature is generally maintained at 150~300℃ to soften lignin, cellulose, etc. and extrude them into biomass fuel pellets.

Natural cooling

The molded product is transported to the stacking table by the elevator. After being lifted by the elevator, it is naturally cooled in the elevator funnel. When the temperature drops to room temperature, the product is packaged and stored for sale.

Environmental protection measures

The environmental protection measures adopted by this biomass wood pellet production line in Colombia project are as follows:

What preliminary work is needed to build a biomass wood pellet production line in Colombia?

The preliminary work of building a biomass pellet production line in Colombia mainly includes market research and site selection, company registration and obtaining relevant licenses, construction planning and approval, equipment procurement and installation, raw material procurement and storage, etc.

• First, market research and site selection are required. Before deciding to invest in a biomass pellet plant, it is necessary to conduct in-depth research on the local market to understand the distribution, demand and competition of biomass resources. When selecting a site, priority should be given to areas with sufficient raw material supply, convenient transportation and strong policy support.
• The next step is to register a company and obtain relevant licenses. When registering a company, it is necessary to determine the type of company, registered capital, business scope, etc. Subsequently, it is necessary to apply for relevant licenses from environmental protection, taxation, industry and commerce and other departments to ensure legal operation.
• Then comes construction planning and approval. According to the production scale, a detailed plant construction plan is formulated, including production workshops, warehouses, office areas, etc. After the planning is completed, it is necessary to submit approval to the local Development and Reform Commission, Environmental Protection Bureau and other departments to obtain a construction permit.
• Equipment procurement and installation is also an important step. According to production needs, choose suitable biomass pellet production equipment. The installation and commissioning of the equipment must be carried out by professionals to ensure the stable operation of the production line.
• Raw material procurement and storage are also critical. The main raw materials of biomass pellets are crop straw, forestry waste, etc. In the early stage of factory construction, it is necessary to establish a stable cooperative relationship with suppliers to ensure the stable supply of raw materials. At the same time, it is necessary to rationally plan the raw material storage area to ensure the safe storage of raw materials.
• Finally, environmental protection issues need to be considered. Before building a biomass pellet plant in Colombia, environmental protection issues must be solved first, including equipment dust treatment, noise reduction and safety assurance.

What is the prospect of building a biomass wood pellet production line in Colombia?

The prospect of building a wood biomass pellet plant in Colombia is very broad. ‌With the global attention to environmental protection and the transformation of energy structure, biomass pellets, as an environmentally friendly and renewable energy, have continued to grow in market demand, strong policy support, and continuously mature technology, providing entrepreneurs with broad market space and business opportunities.

• ‌First of all, biomass pellets have a wide range of applications, including home heating, industrial production, agriculture and other fields. With the increase in energy demand and the increasingly serious environmental problems, the market demand for biomass pellets continues to grow, providing entrepreneurs with a huge market space.
• Secondly, the government attaches great importance to the development of clean energy and has introduced a series of support policies and subsidy measures to reduce the operating costs of the biomass pellet industry and provide a broad market space. In addition, with the continuous advancement of technology, the production efficiency of biomass pellets has increased and the cost has decreased, further promoting the development of the industry.
• Finally, the production raw materials of biomass pellets are rich, including agricultural waste, forestry waste, etc. These raw materials can be collected and processed in large quantities in rural and urban areas. The waste generated during the production process can be recycled, which is in line with the concept of sustainable development and enhances the social image and market competitiveness of the enterprise.

In summary, building a biomass wood pellet production line in Colombia is not only in line with the general trend of environmental protection and energy transformation, but also has broad market prospects and policy support. It is an entrepreneurial field full of opportunities.
