Brief description of the pellet production process flow

1. Chipping:
   Chipping the raw logs and straw, that is, processing the raw materials into flakes or blocks.
2. Crushing:
   The chipped materials are crushed by a crusher, and the crushed materials are unloaded by a shaker.
3. Drying:
   Due to the high moisture content in the raw materials, the moisture in the raw materials needs to be removed. The drying of this project uses hot air from a manual furnace as the heat source, and the drying temperature is set to 400℃.
   To prevent the materials from catching fire, flame arresters and alarm devices are installed. The dried materials are transported by an auger and temporarily stored in the workshop.
4. Screening:
   To ensure that the biomass pellets produced in the granulation process are all qualified products, the dried materials are screened and impurities are removed.
5. Granulation:
   Use a forklift to shovel the dried materials into the silo of the granulation system, and then use an auger to transport them to the granulation hopper for granulation. Granulation is made into finished products by extrusion molding.
   The extrusion process is a physical process, without adding any adhesives and no chemical reaction. The biomass pellet machine uses electric heating and the set temperature is about 80℃.
6. Cooling and packaging:
   The pelletized products are lifted to the automatic weighing and packaging machine by the elevator, and naturally cooled during the lifting and transportation process. This project uses a fully automatic weighing and packaging machine for packaging.

Public works

Water supply

The water used in this biomass straw wood pellet production line in New Zealand project is mainly domestic water. The project water is provided by the local tap water network, and the water consumption is 2.6m3/d (780m3/a).

Drainage

The project wastewater is mainly domestic sewage, with a production volume of 2.08m3/d (624m3/a). After being treated in a septic tank, it is used as agricultural fertilizer and is not discharged.

Power supply

The power supply for the project is drawn from the local municipal power supply network. The annual power consumption of the project is 1.5 million kWh, which can meet the power demand of the project.

Storage and transportation

The raw materials and finished products are stored in the production workshop, and no new warehouse is built separately.

The transportation within the factory relies on manual handling or forklifts, and the transportation outside the factory is entrusted to social vehicles.

Heating

The biomass straw wood pellet production line in New Zealand project uses a biomass boiler as the heat source for the drying process of the project, and the fuel uses straw pellets produced in the plant area, with an annual consumption of 920t/a.

Process of developing a straw wood biomass pellet production line in New Zealand

If you want to build a straw wood pellet production line project in New Zealand, understand the following project construction process:

• Market research and project planning:
  First, you need to conduct a detailed market research to understand the market demand, competitors, price trends and other information of biomass pellets. Based on the survey results, determine your processing plant positioning, product type and target customers. Develop a project plan, including production capacity, investment budget, payback period, etc.
• Site selection and land acquisition:
  Choose a suitable site, taking into account factors such as raw material supply, transportation, labor, and infrastructure. If it is a new plant, it is necessary to communicate with the local government or relevant departments to obtain land use rights.
• Plant design and construction:
  According to project planning and production needs, carry out detailed design of the biomass pellet plant. Including production line layout, equipment selection, environmental protection facilities, etc. Then start the construction of the plant, including civil construction, equipment installation and commissioning.
• Registration and filing:
  During the construction of the factory, the enterprise registration is carried out, including pre-approval of the company name, industrial and commercial registration, tax registration, etc. At the same time, the project needs to be filed with the relevant departments in order to obtain government support and supervision.
• Procurement and supply chain management:
  Establish a stable raw material supply channel and establish a cooperative relationship with suppliers. Ensure the quality and stable supply of raw materials.
• Production management and quality control:
  Formulate production management systems and quality control standards to ensure product quality and production efficiency. Train employees to ensure that they are familiar with operating procedures and safety regulations.
• Sales and marketing:
  Develop sales strategies, expand sales channels, and establish good cooperative relationships with customers. At the same time, carry out market promotion to improve brand awareness and product competitiveness.
• Environmental protection and safety:
  Establish an environmental protection and safety management system to ensure that the operation of the factory complies with relevant regulations. Handle waste in the production process to reduce the impact on the environment.
• Continuous improvement and innovation:
  Pay attention to industry trends and technological development, continuously improve production processes and management models, and improve competitiveness. At the same time, encourage employees to innovate and provide impetus for the long-term development of the factory.

This is just a rough process framework, and it may need to be adjusted according to actual conditions during specific implementation. Opening a biomass straw wood pellet production line in New Zealand is a comprehensive project that requires multi-faceted expertise and resource investment.

Prospects of building a biomass straw wood pellet production line in New Zealand

Building a biomass pellet plant in New Zealand has broad prospects. As a renewable energy source, biomass pellets continue to grow in market demand with the transformation of the global energy structure and the improvement of environmental awareness.

Especially in countries like New Zealand, the increasing demand for clean energy provides a good market environment for biomass pellet plants‌.

The market prospects of building a biomass pellet plant in New Zealand are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

• Policy support‌: The New Zealand government strongly supports renewable energy, provides preferential policies such as financial subsidies and tax exemptions, and encourages the use and production of clean energy‌.
• Environmental protection needs‌: With the strengthening of environmental protection policies, the use of traditional fossil energy is restricted. As an environmentally friendly alternative energy source, the demand for biomass pellets will continue to grow‌.
• Wide application‌: Biomass pellets are suitable for various combustion equipment, especially in heating and industrial production, providing a huge market space for small processing plants‌.

However, building a biomass wood straw pellet production line in New Zealand also faces some challenges:

• ‌Investment cost‌: The investment cost of a biomass pellet plant is relatively high, involving raw material procurement, equipment purchase, plant construction and other aspects.
• ‌Technical requirements‌: Although the production technology is relatively mature, entrepreneurs need to master the relevant technology to ensure production efficiency and product quality.
• ‌Market competition‌: As market demand increases, market competition may also intensify. Entrepreneurs need to formulate reasonable marketing strategies to enhance product competitiveness.

In summary, building a straw wood pellet production line in New Zealand has broad market prospects and policy support, but it is also necessary to pay attention to investment costs and technical requirements, and reasonably plan market strategies to achieve sustainable development.
