Wood pellet making machine is a kind of machine which turns wood materials such as sawdust, tree trunk, branches, roots, bark, wood waste, building templates into wood pellets with the influence of pressure and heat. The wood pellet maker machine is equipped with beautiful appearance and reasonable structure, which reduces the occupied area of the host body, is convenient to operate and also has a good molding effect.
What Materials are Suitable for Wood Pellet Making Machine?
Except for wood, the wood pellet making line can be also used for making pellets from the following raw materials: rice husk, sawdust, grass, straw, peanut shells, palm shell, corn cobs, branches, bark, furfural residue, edible fungus residue, Chinese medicine residue etc.
Note: all the above biomass materials can be also recycled by another method – making BBQ charcoal by Beston biochar production units. You can choose the method as you like.
What are Wood Pellets Used for?
The finished products are wood pellets. Because of the convenient storage, transportation and usage of the wood pellet, they have been applied in many fields instead of coal and gas, including civil and industrial boiler fuel, heating, and even generate electricity.
Why is Wood Pellet Popular?
The main reason is that it recycles waste raw materials into useful resources, which means turning waste into treasure.
Wood pellet is a kind of biomass energy, which belongs to clean energy. Wood pellet contains less carbon content, lower sulfur content and significantly more oxygen content. The release of carbon dioxide from burning wood pellet is very low, compared with coal-fired boiler, you can consider it as zero carbon dioxide emissions. In short, using biomass combustion can realize biomass waste reduction, harmless and recycling use. To some extent, wood chip pellet machine is a magic which turns waste into wealth. You put some garbage into it, then get useful pellet fuel after a while. Isn’t it amazing and commendable?
How does Wood Pellet Maker Machine Work?
As time goes by, the automatic technology becomes more advanced. Making wood pellets from wood chips is much easier than before. Several necessary equipment in the whole wood pellet production line are as follows: crusher machine, dust remover, belt conveyor, hot air stove, dryer, induced draft fan, bag filter, silo, skip hoist, wood pellet mill, flat conveyor, etc. Now let’s see how to make wood pellets fuel step by step.
1. Smashing
Make sure that the size of wood materials is not larger than 2cm, better 1cm. If not, you can use the equipped drum wood chipper to cut the wood to sawdust.
2. Drying
Make sure the moisture of wood materials is not higher than 15%. If not, you can use the equipped dryer to dry the materials.
3. Pelletizing
The wood materials are sent to the silo through the conveyor belt, and then conveyed to the distribution platform. Under the influence of gravity, the materials are distributed and squeezed into pellets by ring die.
4. Cooling & Packaging
After a few minutes, the wood pellets come out of the host. Through the flat conveyor, the pellets will enter the cooler and are ready to be packaged bag by bag.

Note: The diameter is directly proportional to the output. The larger the diameter of the same machine and the same material, the greater the output.
The diameters of the commercial wood pellet mill mold include 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 16mm.
Vertical Ring Die Wood Pellet Machine Design
- Beston wood pellet plant design adopts vertical type and ring dies, which can guarantee the quality of the wood pellet, has a wide range of applications (suitable for all the biomass materials), and also highly improves the working efficiency;
- The ring die can be used both sides to save cost for users;
- The ring die of wood pellet making machine adopts 20CrMoTi material, which has high strength and toughness, especially high toughness from the low-temperature impact, so as to has a good molding effect;
- The vertical feeding method makes the raw materials evenly distributed around the mold through the feeding port, so the force points of the mold are the same;
- The ring die wood pellet equipment has simple structure, which is easy to operate and replace the vulnerable parts; the processing of the vulnerable parts adopts heat treatment and has high hardness;
- The machine is equipped with an automatic lubrication system, which regularly and quantitatively transports butter for lubrication, and does not need to be shut down for manual maintenance. Watch the video here.
Advantages of Wood Pellet Machine for Sale
- It is equipped with high-quality reducer and bearings, which is durable, and has low consumption, stable operation.
- The vertical mold can achieve vertical feeding, thus it can avoid cambering and get better heat emission.
- The ring die is static, while pressure rollers are rotating , thus materials can be centrifuged and evenly distributed.
- It has automatic cooling function. Hot air is pumped out by draft fan in order to avoid the granulating room from running under high temperature. Thus particles won’t be filled with steam and look more brighter.
