wood chip pellet machine
Introduction to the wood chip pellet machine
There are two types of wood chip pellet machines: flat die pellet mills and ring die pellet mills. However, ring die pellet mills offer higher output and better pelleting results. Therefore, they have gradually become the primary choice for commercial wood pellet makers.
A ring die machine for making wood chip pellets consists of a feeder, a pellet bin, and a drive system. Common wood waste, such as wood chips, sawdust, and shavings, can be fed into the pellet mill. The ring die and pressure rollers will quickly compress them into biomass pellets of 4-12mm. These pellets are small in size and burn more completely, making them ideal for power generation or heating.

Key components of a wood chip pellet machine
RICHI peanut shell pellet machines have been applied to numerous successful biomass pellet projects. We provide scientific and reliable production solutions tailored to our clients’ specific needs, successfully helping customers worldwide achieve waste resource utilization and stable income. Below are some classic case studies for your reference.
High-efficiency feeding device
The two spirals of the arch-breaking feeder break up the raw material and force it into the machine. The second challenge is ensuring these lightweight materials smoothly enter the pelleting hopper. Therefore, we installed a forced feeder in front of the pelleting hopper. Under its forced thrust, the raw material can be pelletized smoothly.
Precision pelleting system
The pelleting chamber is like a “beauty salon.” From the moment the raw material enters, the ring die and pressure rollers act like beauticians. Through extrusion, they help the raw material to be quickly shaped. The final pellet size can be flexibly selected between 4-12mm..
drive system
The wood chip pellet machine consists of a Siemens motor, gearbox, and reduction gear. Together, they convert electrical energy into mechanical kinetic energy. Even under high load conditions, the pelletizing process continues steadily
Protective devices
If the operator fails to detect an overload in time, the wood chip pelleter will face motor burnout and the scrapping of critical components. However, the safety pin will quickly break and cut off the power supply once this situation is detected, preventing further damage to the machine.

- It uses high-quality SKF bearings to ensure stable torque output.
- Factory direct shipping, low price.
How does a wood chip pellet machine work?
A wood chip pellet machine is the main equipment for producing wood chips. Once the prepared raw materials are fed in, the pellet mill automatically begins efficient processing.
The raw materials enter through the feed inlet and flow into the pelleting hopper via a chute.
The ring die and pressure rollers compress the raw materials into cylindrical strips. The material is extruded through the die holes, and the waiting cutter quickly chops the strips into uniformly sized pellets.
These hot, soft pellets exit the pellet mill. A cooler quickly cools and shapes them before they enter the packaging area.
What are the advantages of wood pellets produced by a wood pellet machine?
Wood chip pellet machines are specifically designed to produce wood pellets. Under high temperature and pressure, loose wood chips are transformed into high-density pellets. Currently, they have become a globally popular clean biomass fuel, widely used in industrial boilers, heating, and animal bedding.

Burns better
A wood chip pellet press compresses wood chips into cylindrical pellets. High pressure forces air out of the wood chips, gradually increasing their density. Unlike regular wood chips, it doesn’t burn up quickly. Instead, it continuously releases heat, providing a more stable heat output and effectively reducing energy procurement costs. This is especially important for plants that require large quantities of fuel.
RICHI Machinery
Lower transportation costs
Loose raw materials like sawdust, if sold directly as a commodity, would take up a lot of transport space due to their large volume. However, after being compressed into sawdust pellets, the volume decreases. This allows for the shipment of more goods at once, helping to improve logistics efficiency and reduce costs.

Wood chips are suitable for long-term storage
Before granulation, the raw materials are dried to reduce their internal moisture content to 13-15%. Only then can they be extruded into pellets. Simultaneously, the temperature during pelleting can reach above 70 degrees Celsius. Under this environment, some of the moisture in the raw materials gradually evaporates. The resulting pellets are less prone to loosening and mold growth, ensuring a continuous commercial supply.

Combustion is more environmentally friendly
Wood chip pellets are a renewable clean energy source. Traditional wood chips produce a lot of smoke and residue when burned. However, pellets produced by a wood chip pellet machine are uniform in size, allowing for more even and complete combustion. This significantly reduces dust and sulfur dioxide emissions into the air, aligning perfectly with global green and environmentally friendly trends.
How to use a wood chip pellet machine to produce high-quality pellets?
We know that wood pellets produced by pellet mills have many advantages. So how do we produce high-quality pellets that burn completely and are uniformly consistent? First and foremost, the processing of the raw materials is crucial.
The complete production process of wood pellets includes multiple stages such as crushing, drying, cooling, and packaging. However, the equipment configuration and processing technology will vary depending on the raw materials and output.
• Coarse raw materials (twigs, wood blocks, scraps)
Cleaning – Coarse crushing – Secondary crushing – Drying – Pelleting – Cooling – Packaging
Main equipment: Cleaning machine, chipper, Wood Chip Hammer Mill, dryer, cooler
These raw materials are large, so we first chip them into wood chips. Then we use a pulverizer to crush them into 3-5mm powder.
• Fine wood chips (sawdust, shavings)
Cleaning – Crushing – Drying -Pelleting – Cooling – Packaging
Main equipment: Cleaning machine, Wood Chip Hammer, Wood chip pellet machine, dryer, cooler
This type of raw material is relatively simple to process. Generally, it only needs to be crushed once to achieve the ideal granulation state. However, it is important to control the moisture content of the raw material.
• High-moisture wood chip(moisture content greater than 70%)
Cleaning – Crushing – Drying -Pelleting – Cooling – Packaging
Main equipment: Cleaning machine, Wood Chip Hammer Mill, Rotary Drum Dryer, Cooler, Bagging Scale.
Feeding raw materials with high moisture content directly into the pellet mill will clog the machine. Therefore, a dryer is well-suited for industrial processing. It utilizes internal hot air to quickly remove moisture from materials, shortening drying time.
•Mixed wood chips
Cleaning – Crushing – Drying -Pelleting – Cooling – Packaging
Main equipment: wood chip cleaner, crusher, mixer, dryer, pelletizer, cooler.
Raw materials from different sources are mixed. They may contain a large number of impurities such as stones and iron pieces. Removing these is a crucial step. Secondly, the mixer ensures that the moisture content and composition of the raw materials are consistent, which can improve the pellet-forming rate and the pass rate.
