Investing in wood chip pellet production has good economic benefits. With stable raw material supply and unobstructed market channels, you can usually make a profit and achieve profits in a short period of time. The following is a specific analysis:
Cost:
Raw material cost: Wood chips come from a wide range of sources, mainly from sawmills, furniture factories, etc. If you have your own channels or can be recycled for free, the cost can be greatly reduced.
Processing costs: including electricity bills, labor, equipment depreciation and maintenance, packaging materials, etc. Taking the production of 1 ton of particles as an example, the electricity bill is about 60-80 yuan (power consumption is 70-90kWh/ton), labor is 20-30 yuan, equipment depreciation and maintenance is 10-15 yuan, packaging materials are about 100-135 yuan, and the total processing cost is about 100-135 yuan.
Other costs: Factory rental, equipment purchase, transportation and other costs must also be considered. Equipment investment varies from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands depending on the scale and quality of equipment.
In terms of income:
Industrial fuel market: Wood chip pellets are mainly used in biomass boilers, cogeneration systems, etc., and have high requirements for the heat value, density and ash content of particles, and the price is also considerable.
Civil heating market: used in rural stoves, civil heating, etc., it requires stable and cleanliness, high-quality particles are at a high price, and the price will rise during peak heating.
Profit space and return cycle: Under normal circumstances, small projects can make a profit in 4-6 months, medium-sized projects can make a profit in 3-4 months, and stable profits can be achieved in the future.
However, investing in wood chip pellet production also has certain risks, such as unstable raw material supply, fluctuations in market prices, equipment failures, etc., which may affect economic benefits.
