Project Layout For Customer:

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

The core equipment in pallet pellet processing is the biomass ring die pelletizer, which utilizes a combination of mechanical extrusion, frictional heating, and fiber self-bonding. The specific process is as follows:

During the extrusion process, rollers exert a pressure of up to 50-150 MPa on the powder, forcing it from its loose state (density 0.15-0.3 g/cm³) into the die's forming hole, forming a cylindrical column.

As the powder moves through the hole, it creates intense friction with the hole walls. Frictional heating raises the column temperature to 100-120°C, completely melting the softened lignin and hemicellulose, forming a natural adhesive that tightly binds the surrounding wood fiber particles together.

At the same time, the high temperature and pressure also remove some free moisture from the material (reducing the final pellet moisture content to 10%-15%) and rearranges the wood fiber structure, forming a high-density, high-strength column (density increased to 0.8-1.2 g/cm³).

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 consumption

Wood 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 pallet pellets are processed through crushing, drying, extrusion molding and other processes. Waste wood pallets are processed into pellet fuel or recycled materials to achieve resource recycling.

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.

Biomass pellets made from recycled wooden pallets (referred to as "pallet pellets") are essentially wood-based biomass pellets. However, due to the unique nature of their raw material (waste pallets), they offer several advantages over other biomass pellets, such as straw, rice husks, sawdust, and bark:

1. Raw material stability: A single ingredient eliminates "mixed material defects"

The raw material composition of biomass pellets directly determines product consistency, and pallet pellets offer a distinct advantage in this regard. Pallet pellets are primarily made from discarded solid wood pallets (such as pine, fir, and poplar) or plywood pallets, with wood comprising over 95% of the raw material. They are free of crude fiber from straw, silica from rice husks, or high-ash impurities from bark. They are also free of pesticide residues (unlike farmland straw) and odor (unlike pellets derived from food waste).

2. Raw material cost efficiency: "Turning waste into treasure," the cost is significantly lower than conventional wood-based raw materials.

The raw material cost of biomass pellets accounts for 60%-70% of the total cost. The raw material advantages of pallet pellets significantly lower the investment threshold. Pallet pellets are made from discarded pallets, considered industrial solid waste. Procurement costs are extremely low (in some areas, they can even be recycled for free with a small transportation fee), and recycling channels are stable (logistics parks, manufacturing plants, and warehouses generate large quantities of discarded pallets annually). Furthermore, pallets are typically standardized in size (e.g., 1200×1000mm), making them highly efficient to disassemble and crush, eliminating the need for additional sorting (unlike loose sawdust).

3. Product Calorific Value: High wood density results in superior combustion efficiency compared to herbaceous/miscellaneous pellets.

Calorific value is a core performance metric for biomass pellets (determining the cost-effectiveness of replacing coal and natural gas). Pallet pellets, due to their high wood density, offer a significant calorific value advantage. Average Lower Calorific Value (MJ/kg): 18-20 Density (kg/m³): 1.1-1.3 Combustion Efficiency (compared to standard coal): 80%-85%

Pallets are typically made from "finished wood" (e.g., pine pallets have a higher density than log sawdust), resulting in a denser fiber structure. The resulting pellets are denser and more resistant to breakage (lower transportation loss). 3%, while straw pellets can reach 5%-8%), and the heat released during combustion is more stable, making it suitable for "high-load energy scenarios" such as industrial boilers and biomass power stations.
