Push for large-scale wood pellet mills -----Tasmania deals with native timber waste

There are hopes Tasmania will soon catch up to New Zealand, in developing large-scale wood pellet mills to process native timber waste.

The state's forest industry produces millions of tonnes of residues each year and the Tasmanian Government has called for expressions of interest from the private sector, to put them to good use.

Resources Minister Paul Harriss is pushing for biomass proposals, stating value adding in Tasmania is preferable to wholesale exports of woodchips.

Pellet retailer Rob Douglas said there was huge potential for native timber residues to be made into wood pellets for bio-energy.

"We're importing 40 per cent of our requirements at the moment because here we are in winter at peak demand [and] our pellet production can't meet that demand so we're importing from New Zealand," he said.

Mr Douglas has opened a small wood pellet mill with timber processor, Brett McKay, at Glenorchy.

It produces 1,200 tonnes of hardwood pellets a year, but there is already demand for 3,000 tonnes and he said that was only expected to grow.

"We built our pellet plant here just as a proof of concept, to show investors that it's viable and we've already proven that to the point where in the last two years, demand exceeds supply,"

Advantage of biomass wood pellets

Biomass wood pellets currently is the Most Efficient Form of Storing and Utilizing Biomass.There are many reasons for this:   

1.Wood is hardly a new fuel for heating houses and the technology has improved considerably to make it more efficient, many biomass wood pellet boilers are now over 90% efficient.

2.Possibility to automate the burning process. Due to correct shape, small size wood pellets can be put through a special sleeve that allows to automate the process of loading and unloading and also burning.             3.Biomass is carbon neutral in combustion as the CO2 released is equal to that absorbed by the tree during photosynthesis, and its low carbon overall as production and transportation can be less than that of fossil fuels.

4.The prices of wood pellet fuel  are competitive with fossil fuels prices at current levels and could be cheaper in the long term.

5.Biomass fuel will not fall under carbon levies such as CRC, CCL & emissions trading.

6.Wood pellets are more energy dense as dry sawdust (<10% moisture) is compressed into a pellet meaning that fewer deliveries are needed.

7.Pellets have a high and constant bulk density meaning that less storage space is required (reduced construction costs) and pellets can be transported a far greater distance at economical prices giving security of supply. 

8.Maximum burning efficiency (no additional energy needed to dry or to prepare it for the burning process).

Wood pellets granules are increasingly being used as a renewable energy alternative to oil, gas and electricity.

MAJOR FACTORS AFFECTING FEED PRODUCTION RATE

When we build a feed pellet production line,we need to know the major factors affecting the feed production rate.
The important process is steam conditioning.
The level of steam conditioning possible depends on the followings:
1.Formula moisture content
2.Formula fat/oil content
3.Steam quality
4. Die resistance and condition
5.Roll surface and condition
As a rule, the higher the level of conditioning, the higher the throughput and pellet quality.
Steam has the ability to carry and transfer both heat and moisture efficiently through the process of “CONDENSATION”.

The conditioner of the ring die feed pellet mill is the main part where the steam conditioning is taking place.
HKJ250 and SZLH ring die feed pellet mill are produced by Shandong Double Crane Machinery Manufacture Co.,Ltd.

The conditioner can be customized as buyer's demand.

Benefit of biomass pellet fuel

With the advantage of high heat-value, barely ash,no sulfur-bearing,and carbon dioxide neutral,biomass pellet fuel is a green energy project instead of fossil oil in  recent years.
And biomass pellet mill has been a focal point both in the developed and emerging markets. 
Different from distribution of fossil fuel, biomass resource is the same with each other over the world. The reasons are as following:
Firstly , biomass is ubiquitous,  including wast wood ( wood chips, wood shavings,wood logs, tree branch, saw dust); agriculture waste( rice husk, leaf, palm, corn bran, straw ,stalk etc).

Secondly ,the making process is simple and easy operated.The biomass pellet mill is one of the key machine is biomass pellet production line.
Thirdly,the wood pellets can solve the energy problem in the world, such as the biomass fuel is much more safe and can resovle energy crisis.

Benefit of cattle feed pellets

Cattle feed pellet is a pellet form feed made by feed pellet machine through great pressure. It is a kind of feed that is not only for oxen, cows, cattle but also for sheep, and goat reared for their milk and meat. 

It contains protein, minerals and other nutrients which are useful for beef and milk production and survival of the animals.

Cattle feed pellets can be prepared from oil cakes, agro-residues such as peanut seedling, grass, corn straw, wheat straw, grain, wheat bran etc., flour mill by-products, cereals, sorghum,molasses, and so on.

Usually the coarse fibre can be 20-40%, the cereals can be 60%-80% or 100%.

There are many benefits of manufacturing cattle feed pellets

1. From a feed manufacturer’s perspective, the benefits of making feed pellets include decreased segregation of mixed feedstuffs, increased bulk density, reduced dustiness and improved handling characteristics.

2. For farmers making own cattle feed, will greatly save cost compared buying feed pellets from other manufacturers.

So both feed manufacture and cattle farmers really need bulid a complete cattle feed pellet production line. In Shandong double crane machinery manufacture Co.,ltd. you can find professional people to help you solve the problem.

How to make cattle feed pellets and what machines do we need?

 Major operations

The major operations involved in the production of cattle feed pellets are:

 raw materials preparation, primary crushing, molasses mixing, fine crushing, pellet making and packaging(optional)

1. Raw and auxiliary materials are first charged into silos where they are ready for further processing. They are then processed by primary crusher. Crushed 

materials are further separated by means of a sieve, and then stored in the assorting tanks according to the kind of raw materials.
2.The raw materials are then mixed by means of a feed mixer. In this process, fatty ingredients are added to the materials in order to raise the nutritional 

value of the feed. The feed obtained from the mixer is blended with molasses.
3. Assorted animal feed that is crushed into fine particles is further formed

 into pellets by a cattle feed pellet mill.

Machines for making cattle feed pellets
Machinery required in the cattle feed pellet production line are as following.
1.Tank or raw and auxiliary materials storage
2. Feed hammer mill for grinding the raw materials to feed powder.
3. Feed mixer( feed pellet mixing machine) used to mixing powdered materials to improve the uniformity of the ingredients.
4. Feed pellet mill(feed pellet machine) is the main machine for making the

 cattle feed pellets. For cattle feed mill, we supply flat die feed pellet mill

 designed for home use and ring die feed pellet mill designed for cattle feed

 factory. 

If you plan to buy a cattle feed pellet mill, you should make sure your capacity requirement

5. Feed pellet cooler is used to cool the hot and moisture feed pellets(if your production capacity per day is not so much, you will not need this pellet cooler, just dry the pellets in the sun is OK.)
6. Feed pellets screening and grading machine is used to remove the fines and grade the pellets, which is the preparation for packaging.
7. Feed pellet weighing and packaging machine is used to weigh and pack the pellets in the uniformity(If making cattle feed pellets for your own farm, you

 can choose to store the pellets in a dry container instead of buying a packing machine, while for an automatic feed pellet plant, the weight and packing

machine is necessary.)
8. Other auxiliary machines( conveyor, lifter, etc. Usually used in an automatic cattle feed pellet line).

How to make wood pellets from logs?

How to make wood pellets from logs?
A. Preparing raw materials-hammer mill
All the logs raw materials must be crushed into sawdust before going to wood pellet machine. If not powder, you may need a wood chipper, wood crusher.

 B. Drying process- air flow dryer
Before going to the pellet machine, the moisture of sawdust must be controlled in 10-15%. This process can be realized by a drum dryer.

C. Feeding process:
The dry sawdust is delivered by a conveyer into the stock bin which is installed over the feed hopper.  

 D. Pressing process- wood pellet machine 
After the sawdust delivered into the ring die of wood pellet machine, we can start the wood pellet machine. The sawdust will be pressed through rollers. The resulting pressure compresses the sawdust and extrudes it through the holes in the die.

E.Cooling process-counter flow cooler
The newly pressed pellets are very high in temperature. This process is to cool the pellets to +3-5℃ of the room temperature.

Tips for choosing the biomass pellet machine

Biomass pellet machine is based on biomass crop straw as the main raw material mainly from corn stalks, tree branches, grass and other biomass materials.
It is a special equipment of pelletizing such materials into pellets.
The following are tips to choosing the biomass pellet machine

1.The capacity requirement, if you want to produce pellet for home use, just for heating home,a small flat die pellet mill is enough.
If you plan to buy a pellet mill both for home use and pellet vending purpose,
a larger pellet mill is more suitable.
For industrial production of pellets,a ring die pellet mill with large capacity is better choice.

2. Engine choice,It should be take into serious consideration that which engine drive is more suitable for you.
Electric and diesel engine are most popular types in market. You can calculate the cost according to the electricity and diesel cost and then make a choice.

The Application of Straw Pellet Machine

Straw  can be widely seen  in the agriculture area.

When the wheat, rice and other crops are harvested, straw will be gained .

 Some farmers and regions chop off straw and crush and spread it all over soil after

 harvest is done as natural fertilizer.

 However, there are still some regions in the world combusting straw directly 

in the open air which results in aggravation of air pollution and a waste of 

biomass material as well.

 Actually, straw can be applicable to biomass ethanol production and building materials. 

Over the past decades, the popular use of straw in producing biomass energy has been booming alongside the use as ingredient of fodder for animal husbandry.

Straw pellet machine is mainly suitable for process of various kind of plant which has one 

year growth period, like the crushing cotton, corn straw, rice straw,  sorghum  stalk etc.

And the size of pellet can be made as customer’s request. 

The pellet form the crops are fit for produce feed industry, organic fertilizer, fuel, shaving board, paper and other materials for manufacturing industry.

Straw pellet making machine can make large amount of green waste into precious, to develop new economic value, to protect the environment and improve the soil, which create a good social efficiency.

Shandong Double Crane Machinery Manufacture Co.,Ltd can supply high quality straw pellet machine for you with different capacity.

Ring die pellet mill or flat die pellet mill?

Feed pellet mill is one of the core machines in feed pellet production line.
But usually we need to choose which kind to buy.
Flat die mills use a flat die with slots. 
The powder is introduced to the top of the die and as the die rotates a roller presses the powder through the holes in the die. A cutter on the other side of the die cuts the exposed pellet free from the die.The capacity of flat die feed pellet mill can be 500kg-800kg/h.it is suitable for the poultry farm to produce feed  for their animals.

In the ring die pellet mill there are radial slot throughout the die. Powder is fed into the inside of the die and spreaders evenly distribute the powder. Two rollers then compress the powder through the die holes. Two cutters are used to cut the pellets free from the outside of the die.
The capacity of ring die feed pellet mill can be 1t/h-2t/h . 
It is suitable for small  ,medium and large feed factory. The single of the ring die pellet machine is more than 4410 usd.

You can choose according to your own fund and needs.

How to Set Up Biomass Wood Pellets Production Line

Biomass pellets production is now a hot industry because of their low price (compared to fossil fuels) and people’s awareness of using more environmental 

friendly fuel. As a result, biomass pellets fuel has great market demand and is quite profitable. Now there are many pellets production lines all over the 

world, but the pellets output still cannot meet demand. So, people who have access to biomass raw materials and distribution channel are aiming at setting up pellets production lines now. But as a matter of fact, not all of them are specialists in this field. Therefore, they need some guidance on pellets 

production. Take wood for example. Wood pellets production process Wood is a common seen pellet production raw material, which includes timber, logs, 

chips, shavings or sawdust of pine, acacia, cypress, beech, oak, and so on.

 Generally if your raw material is asoftwood, you an pelletize it without adding additive; if your raw material is hardwood, you 

need to add certain amount of softwood or binder (hardwood is comparatively difficult to pelletize). The wood pellets production technology goes this way: 

1. Raw material crushing process: usually wood chips, logs or timber, etc. 

must be crushed before pelletization. The reason is that these wood raw 

materials are large pieces and can’t be pelletized directly. This process will

 need wood chipper and hammer mill.

2. Crushed material sieving process: sometimes the raw materials have 

impurities like stones or metal scraps. These impurities will destroy the pellet mill. So they shall be sieved. 

3. Drying process: the sawdust usually contain much water. In this case, the dryer is indispensable. For capacity below 1ton/h, air flow dryer is enough. But for large capacity, drum dryer is good help. 

4. Wood pellets producing process: the wood pellet mill also has different capacities. 50-500kg/h, use flat die pellet mill; >500kg/h, use ring die pellet mill or multiple sets of flat die pellet mill. 

5. Pellets cooling and sieving process: the pellets have high temperature when produced by the pellet mill; as a result, a cooler is needed to cool the pellets. Besides, the counter flow cooler can also sieve the broken pellets or raw 

material powder to get good quality pellets.

 6. Pellets packing process: to pack the wood pellets in bags will make them easy to store, transport and sell. They can be packed into small bags and

 large bags. 

Above is whole wood pellets production line process, and other biomass raw

 materials go similar steps.
