What is a Wood Pellet Machine & How Does It Work?

A máquina de pellets de madeira (also known as a wood pellet maker ou biomass pelletizer) is engineered to compress low-density biomass materials into high-density, solid fuel pellets. It efficiently processes crops, forest waste, sawdust, and wood chips into a granular fuel with a high specific gravity and hard texture.

The final biomass wood pellets have excellent characteristics: they are easy to ignite, possess a high calorific value, and produce very low ash content after combustion. This makes them a clean, sanitary, and high-quality fuel that can replace coal in industrial and domestic boilers, as well as for civilian cooking and heating.

The Working Process

Quando o moinho de pellets de madeira is operating, the process is as follows:

1. Feeding: Raw materials (like sawdust from a triturador de madeira) fall vertically from the feed inlet and are distributed evenly on the surface of the mold by a rotating pressing wheel.
2. Pressing & Forming: The material is continuously forced through the holes of the die by the immense pressure of the rollers. During this process, the material is subjected to high pressure and high temperature, causing physical and chemical changes that activate the natural lignin in the wood to act as a binder.
3. Cutting & Discharging: A solid, cylindrical body is continuously extruded from the die holes. An internal cutter then slices these cylinders into uniform pellets, which are discharged from the outlet port, completing the pelletizing process.

Detailed Machine Structure

Our vertical máquina de pellets de madeira has a compact structure and beautiful appearance, making it easy to move on the working site. It is composed of a pellet machine base, a large reduction gearbox, a bearing room, a feeding hood, a discharging part, a motor, a pressure roller assembly, and a mold. The electric motor is connected directly to the reducer shaft. After a 90° change of direction, the motor drives a vertical spindle, which in turn drives the roller to roll along the inner surface of the mold to complete the pressing process.

Wood Pellet Machine Maintenance Tips

1. During production, grease the pressure roller every 2 hours using a manual roller at the main shaft end.
2. Before each work session, fill the auger and agitating bearing with No. 2 lubricant.
3. Fill the machine’s stirring reducer with molybdenum disulfide lithium-based grease every six months.
4. The bearings of the auger and agitator shafts should be cleaned and have their oil changed every two years.
5. For long-term storage, press oily, non-deteriorating materials through the machine to fill the mold holes. Clean all parts of material residue and cover the machine with a plastic cover.
