Project Layout For Customer:

1. The working principle of wet wood pallets biomass pellet processing equipment

The overall principle of wood pallet pellet processing equipment is essentially to transform "irregular, high-impurity, high-moisture" waste wood pallets into "regular, impurity-free, high-density, and easy-to-store" biomass pellets through the continuous physical processing of "dismantling and impurity removal → crushing and volume reduction → crushing and refinement → drying and moisture control → high-temperature and high-pressure molding → cooling and stabilization." No chemical agents are added throughout the process, and molding is achieved by relying on the adhesiveness of the wood's own fibers. This not only solves the problem of environmentally friendly disposal of wood pallet waste, but also achieves resource recycling (the pellets can be used as fuel, feed carrier, etc.).

2. Characteristics of wet wood pallets biomass pellet processing equipment

(1) High-strength crushing/smashing system to cope with "large block + hard" raw materials

Wood pallets are mostly whole boards (usually 1.2m×1.0m, 1.1m×1.1m in size), and some are plywood and solid wood hard materials. The crusher needs to have high torque and wear resistance

(2) High-efficiency impurity removal device to accurately separate "metal + non-metal" impurities

The key pain point of wood pallet processing is "containing metal nails and plastic accessories". The equipment usually integrates a multi-stage impurity removal system to ensure the purity of the particles

(3) Wide range of moisture content adaptation to reduce drying energy consumptionWood pallets have different storage environments and large differences in moisture content (15%-30%). The drying system of the equipment (mostly a drum hot air dryer) can achieve precise temperature control (80-120℃) and humidity adjustment, stabilizing the moisture content of wood chips at 10%-15% (the optimal humidity for pelletizing)

(4)Wood pallet pellet processing requires multiple steps: crushing → impurity removal → pulverization → drying → pelletizing → cooling → screening. Equipment typically comes in the form of a complete production line, with core features including a consistent process flow and a high degree of automation.

(5)Wood pallet raw materials (especially plywood and hardwood) subject equipment components to significant wear and tear, making durability a key feature.

(6)Wood pallet processing is prone to dust and noise, and poses significant risks to mechanical safety. Therefore, the equipment features specific environmental and safety design features.

(7)Wood pallet pellet production equipment can be flexibly adjusted based on the user's production capacity, site, and intended use of the finished product, meeting diverse needs.

3. Application scenarios of wet wood pallets biomass pellet processing equipment

Wood pellets (also known as "biomass pellet fuel") are a key alternative to traditional fossil fuels like coal and heavy oil due to their high combustion efficiency, low pollution emissions, and convenient storage and transportation. They are also the most popular application for wood pallet pellet processing equipment, including:

(1)Industrial Boiler/Kiln Fuel:

Small and medium-sized boilers (steam boilers and hot water boilers) in the food processing, textile, chemical, and building materials industries, as well as heating equipment such as ceramic and glass kilns, can directly use wood pallet pellets (with a calorific value of approximately 4200-4800 kcal/kg, similar to medium-quality coal).

(2)Residential Heating/Household Energy:

Wood pallet pellets can be used as fuel for household biomass heating stoves and fireplaces. The pellets burn stably (no black smoke or odor) and are automatically fed through a dedicated hopper, eliminating the need for frequent refills. Furthermore, some catering businesses (such as small restaurants) use them to replace liquefied petroleum gas for heating, reducing energy costs. 

(3)Power Plant Supplemental Fuel:

Some biomass power plants mix wood pallet pellets with other biomass fuels, such as straw and sawdust, for power generation or combined heat and power (cogeneration) (generating both electricity and steam). The high density of wood pallet pellets (0.8-1.2 g/cm³) reduces transportation and storage space, lowering raw material storage costs for power plants. Furthermore, the high purity of the wood fiber (free of sand and impurities found in straw) reduces the risk of boiler slagging.

TONY Brand 3-4 Ton/Hour Wet Wood Pallets Pellet Manufacturing Plant can take wet wood pallets, various types of wood - related biomass materials, such as branches, small - diameter logs, and wood shavings, with wet wood as the main raw material. After pretreatment and processing, it is solidified into high - density wood pellet fuel. This fuel is an ideal substitute for coal and oil and plays a role in energy conservation and emission reduction. At present, it has been widely used in regions rich in wood resources.

Project Startup Suggestions

1. Preliminary Research: 

First, visit local logistics parks and factories to confirm the monthly supply of discarded wood pallets (the raw material volume must meet "production capacity x 1.2" to avoid idle capacity). Simultaneously, contact two to three potential customers (such as nearby food factories and heating companies) and sign letters of intent for supply.

2. Pilot Operation: 

If funding is limited, start with a "small-scale project" (1 ton per hour) and spend 6-12 months validating raw material supply, customer stability, and profit margins before gradually expanding production.

3. Long-Term Planning: 

Once stable operations are achieved, the industry chain can be expanded—for example, by building a dedicated logistics fleet (to reduce transportation costs), developing customized pellets (such as "low-ash pellets" for fireplace users, which increase unit prices), or building a small biomass heating station (to directly supply steam to surrounding factories, resulting in higher profits). In summary, the project of processing wooden pallets into biomass pellet fuel is suitable for entrepreneurs or small and medium-sized enterprises with local resources (raw materials/customers) and medium-sized capital. The key is to control raw material costs, bind stable customers, and ensure environmental compliance to achieve sustainable profitability.

As biomass pellet fuel or industrial auxiliary material, wood pallet pellets offer stable physical and chemical properties, and their user experience surpasses traditional loose wood and coal. Specifically, they demonstrate the following:

1. High energy density and excellent combustion efficiency

After compression molding, wood pallet pellets achieve a density of 1.1-1.3g/cm³ (much higher than the 0.4-0.6g/cm³ of loose wood), a volume reduction of 6-8 times, and a calorific value per unit volume of 4200-4800kcal/kg (similar to medium-quality coal). They also resist slagging during combustion (due to the low ash content of 1%-3% found in softwood, wood pallets are primarily made of softwood). Their thermal efficiency is over 30% higher than that of loose wood, making them suitable for use in boilers, fireplaces, hot air furnaces, and other equipment.

2. Convenient Storage and Transportation, Low Cost

The pellets have a regular shape (mostly cylindrical, 6-10mm in diameter and 10-30mm in length) and good fluidity. They can be transported in bags, silos, or conveyor belts, and are resistant to moisture and deformation. They require only one-fifth the storage space of bulk wood of the same thermal mass, and there's no concern for insect infestation or mildew (the high temperatures during the pelletizing process kill insect eggs and mold), reducing labor and space costs during storage and transportation.

3. Low Entry Points, Wide Adaptability

Wood pallet pellets can be directly used in automated biomass combustion equipment (such as pellet stoves and biomass boilers). No complex pre-processing (such as chopping or pulverizing) is required; simply feed the pellets at a constant rate through a feeder. Operation is simple, making them suitable for industrial heating, home heating, agricultural greenhouse insulation, and other applications. They can also serve as an auxiliary fuel in biomass power plants.
