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

The core principle of the wood pallet pellet processing equipment is to convert waste wood pallets (including wood body, a small amount of metal connectors and other impurities) into biomass pellets with high density and stable combustion performance through continuous processes such as crushing → fine crushing → drying → pelletizing → cooling and screening

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 pellet processing equipment is mainly used to convert waste wood pallets into renewable resources. Its application scenarios are concentrated in the fields of biomass energy production and environmentally friendly recycling.Specific application scenarios and functions

(1) Biomass energy production:The processed wood pallet pellets can be used as fuel for fireplaces, boilers and biomass power plants, replacing traditional non-renewable energy such as coal and reducing environmental pollution.

(2) Agricultural and industrial waste treatment:The equipment can collaboratively process a variety of agricultural and industrial waste, such as rice husks, straw, building formwork scraps, etc., and process them together with wood pallets into pellet fuel, which is widely used in feed mills, fertilizer plants, chemical plants and other scenarios.

(3) Environmentally friendly recycling industry chain:Waste wood pallets are turned into treasure after being crushed and formed, reducing the waste of wood resources. This recycling model is not only suitable for damaged pallets eliminated by the logistics and warehousing industry, but can also integrate wood waste in urban garbage to form a closed loop of "recycling-processing-reuse".

TONY Brand 18Ton/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.

Three Fundamental Supports for the Feasibility of Processing Wooden Pallets into Biomass Pellets

The success of this project hinges critically on the maturity of three key factors: raw material supply, policy guidance, and market demand. These factors are also the core focus of preliminary research.

1. Raw Material Supply: Stable and low-cost raw material supply is a prerequisite.

The source, supply volume, and cost of discarded wooden pallets directly determine project profitability and require critical assessment:

(1)Raw Material Source Scenario:

Core Channels: E-commerce logistics warehouses, manufacturing factories (auto parts, home appliances, machinery), ports/bonded areas (discarded IPPC pallets from cross-border trade), and pallet rental companies (damaged and retired pallets).

Supply Characteristics: Discarded pallets in these scenarios are typically generated in bulk and are often recycled for free or at a low price, resulting in extremely low raw material costs.

(2)Suitability of Raw Material Processing:

Wooden pallets (especially solid wood pallets) have a high wood fiber density, resulting in pellets with a calorific value of 4200-4800 kcal/kg (similar to medium-quality coal), surpassing agricultural waste such as straw and rice husks. Removal of metal (nails, clips) and minimal oil contamination is required, eliminating the need for complex pre-treatment and making them highly suitable for processing. 

2. Policy Direction: Dual Benefits of Environmental and Energy Policies

Biomass pellets, as a compliant alternative fuel, have low market entry barriers. This project falls under the "solid waste resource utilization" category, meeting the "reduction and resource utilization" requirements.

3. Market Demand: Strong demand in both industrial and residential applications

The market demand for biomass pellet fuel has stabilized, eliminating the need to worry about "selling out":

(1)Industrial (Core Customers): Small and medium-sized boilers (1-10 tons) in food processing, textile, and building materials factories, ceramic kilns, and biomass power plants (for co-firing).

(2)Residential (Supplementary Customers): Home heating stoves, cooking energy in southern farmhouses and small restaurants, and home fireplace users.

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.
