Biomass pellet machine is a commonly used pellet equipment in the biomass energy industry. It is a new type of fuel molding machinery that crushes biomass raw materials such as tree branches and straw into rod-shaped pellets, replacing coal. The biomass pellet machine is divided into flat mold machine and ring mold machine. Our company's vertical centrifugal high-efficiency ring mold pellet machine combines the advantages of traditional horizontal ring mold and flat mold pellet machine, and is particularly suitable for biomass granulation.

Common raw materials

Wood: pine, poplar, cedar, branches, bark, sawdust, shavings, etc

Straw: corn straw, wheat straw, rice straw, rice husk, peanut shells, cotton stalks, etc

Waste: building templates, furniture scraps, wooden pallets, urban garbage, pesticide residues, mushroom residues, sludge, etc

Overview of the advantages of the eighth generation pellet machine

1. The motor is directly connected to the gearbox, increasing the conversion rate of kinetic energy and improving production efficiency.

2. Core component - gearbox: Adopting three-stage gear reduction, the load-bearing capacity is 5 times larger than the old model, and the service life is extremely long.

3. The gearbox comes with a lubrication and cooling system, which allows the machine to cool down the lubricating oil without stopping, ensuring long-term operation.

4. The new feeding system, with external rotating components, completely solves the problem of high-temperature steam erosion in the feeding system.

5. Core component - mold: Made of wear-resistant stainless steel material, quenched in a vacuum furnace, the mold has uniform hardness, does not break, and is super wear-resistant.

6. Core component - pressure wheel: The pressure wheel adopts ultra wear-resistant alloy welding technology, replacing the previous surface carburizing treatment. Long lifespan and protection of the mold.

Feed pellet machine, also known as feed pellet machine or pellet feed forming machine, belongs to feed pellet equipment, and its related information can be summarized as follows:

1、 Basic principles

The working principle of a feed pellet machine is to use spiral extrusion pressure to pass raw materials through a mold and form pellet feed under high temperature and pressure. The raw materials are heated and compressed during this process, enhancing intermolecular forces and forming granular feed.

2、 Main structure

The main structure of a feed pellet machine includes a feeding hopper, a compression chamber, a mold chamber, and a discharge port. Specifically:

Feeding hopper: used to introduce raw materials into the compression chamber.

Compression chamber: equipped with a spiral extrusion pressure device, used to compress raw materials through the mold.

Mold room: There are heating elements inside to form particles of raw materials under high temperature and pressure.

Discharge port: used to discharge the formed pellet feed.

3、 Main features

Simple structure, wide adaptability, small footprint, and low noise.

Powdered feed and grass powder can be granulated without the need for or with a small amount of liquid addition, so the moisture content of pellet feed is basically the same as that of the material before granulation, which is more conducive to storage.

Animals such as chickens, ducks, and fish can obtain higher economic benefits from consuming pellet feed compared to consuming mixed powdered feed.

The process of particle formation can cause denaturation of trypsin resistance factors in grains and beans, reducing adverse effects on digestion; It can kill various parasitic eggs and other pathogenic microorganisms, reduce various parasitic and digestive system diseases.

4、 Operation precautions

Before starting up, check whether all components of the equipment are intact, whether the power cord is connected properly, whether the voltage is stable, whether the lubricating oil is sufficient, whether the screws are loose, and whether the mold is clean.

After turning on the device, let it idle for a few minutes to observe if there are any abnormal sounds or vibrations. If there are any abnormalities, stop the machine immediately for inspection. After normal idling, gradually add a small amount of feed raw materials, adjust the gap between the pressure roller and the mold, and the position of the cutting blade to ensure good particle shaping.

During the production process, it is important to maintain a moderate level of dryness and humidity in the feed raw materials, typically between 13% and 15%. Excessive dryness or wetness can affect the quality and yield of the pellets. At the same time, maintain the uniformity of the formula for feed ingredients to avoid large blocks or foreign objects blocking the mold holes.

During the production process, regularly check the working temperature and operation of the equipment. If the temperature is too high or the operation is not smooth, the production speed should be reduced or the machine should be stopped for cooling in a timely manner. If particle breakage or high crushing rate is found, the gap between the pressure roller and the mold and the position of the cutting blade should be adjusted in a timely manner.

Before shutting down, stop feeding and completely discharge the feed materials from the equipment, then stop the power supply. After shutdown, promptly clean the dust and residue on the equipment and apply rust proof oil. If it is necessary to replace the mold or pressure roller, it should be done after the equipment has completely cooled down, and attention should be paid to maintaining the balance between the mold and pressure roller.

When operating the feed pellet machine, appropriate work clothes and protective equipment should be worn, and relevant safety rules should be followed. Do not touch or adjust any parts while the device is in operation, do not play or chat near the device, and do not insert hands or other objects into the interior of the device. If a malfunction or accident occurs, the power should be immediately cut off and relevant personnel should be reported.

5、 Market situation and prospects

Market size: According to research by relevant teams, the global feed pellet machine market size is expected to reach approximately $19.05 million in 2023, and is projected to reach $29.88 million by 2030, with an average annual compound growth rate of 4.7% over the next six years.
