Details Of Machinery to Setup Wood Pellet Production Line In Netherlands

How to Set up Wood Pellet Production Line In Netherlands? The full process of a complete wood pelletizing plant, from biomass raw material processing to final packing biomass pellet, includes crushing, drying, pelletizing, cooling and packaging processes. Each process has corresponding equipment.

We break down the process into three processes and take a look at what equipment need to buy if you are planning to investing on wood pellet production line in Netherlands.

• Wood Chipping Machine: Making large wood like logs, tree limbs and trunks into <3mm thickness and 10-30 mm length wood chips.
• Wood Pellet Hammer Mill: Crushing the material into powder and making raw materials to the right size (below 3mm) for pelletizing process.
• Wood Sawdust Dryer: In general, the moisture content of raw material is still high after the pulverization from hammer mill, which is not suitable for pelleting. The dryer can make raw material moisture content to from 12% to 18%.
• Wood Fuel Pellet Machine: Press the mixed raw material into regular shape pellets by high pressure between the main parts roller and die. It is the soul of complete biomass wood pellet production line. According to the raw material and production needs of customers, choose suitable biomass pellets making machine are very important.
• Pellet Cooler: Pellet cooler is used to cooler the biomass wood pellets after pressed by the pellet machine. It is most commonly used in complete wood pellet production line.
• Pellet Packing Machine: It can weigh and pack the cooled pellets automatically. 10-50kg per bag is available to choose.

Highlights of Netherlands Wood Pellet Production Line

The remarkable feature of this 3-4tph wood pellet production line in Netherlands is that it adopts material mixing process, which realizes the stability of raw material entering pelletizing chamber and guarantees the continuous and stable running of equipments.

Compared to those pelletizing equipments made in USA or Germany, our wood pelletizing machines can endure a high material moisture content of 13-15%, so that customer can greatly lower the energy input in drying process, thus decreasing production cost.

Process design

1. Crushing 1:
   Wet sawn timber and wood chips with a moisture content of about 40%-60% are crushed by a crusher and then put into the wet material bin.
2. Drying:
   The project uses a wood dryer to dry the wet material. The drying equipment uses self-produced biomass pellets as fuel, and the hot air generated by combustion dries the wet material. After drying, the material enters the dry material bin through a closed pipe. The waste gas generated in this process includes fuel combustion waste gas and drying dust, which are collected and treated by a bag filter and discharged through a 20m exhaust pipe. The grass ash generated by the combustion of wood fuel pellets is a general solid waste and is sold as agricultural fertilizer.
3. Crushing 2:
   Dry sawn timber and wood chips with a moisture content of about 11%-20% are directly crushed by a crusher and then put into the dry material bin. The dust generated in this process is collected and treated by a bag filter together with the granulation dust and discharged through a 15m exhaust pipe.
4. Granulation:
   The dry material is transported to the wood biomass pellet machine through a closed screw conveyor. Strong pressure friction is generated between the material and the roller and template in the granulator, generating a large amount of heat, which heats the material to about 80°C and presses the material into biomass pellets.
5. Cooling and packaging:
   After the biomass wood pellets are naturally cooled, they are sent to the packaging area via a belt conveyor for packaging and sale. The dust generated in this process is collected and processed together with the crushing dust by a bag dust collector and discharged through a 15m exhaust pipe.
