Growing and harvesting Biomass as a biofuel for bioenergy production has experienced rapid grow in Europe over the last decade and is gaining momentum throughout the Americas. Biomass, a broadly inclusive term for any plant matter used as fuel, can be converted into energy through a wide variety of processes; from wood waste from industry for use as alternative to conventional fossil fuels by large power utilities, to smaller CHP facilities operations for use in thermal conversion.
Biomass refers to all kinds of plant and animals that have life. But for making pellets, biomass just means plant, which includes wood waste as sawdust, wood shavings, tree branches, wood chips; crop waste as wheat straw, cotton stalk, corn stalk, wheat bran and many other biomass wastes like peanut shell, sunflower husk, bagasse, EFB, etc.
These biomass pellets made by pellet mill contain a kind of substance called lignin. Under high temperature, the lignin in biomass will soften and melt and can adhere with the fibers. By the extruding of biomass pellet making machine roller and die, the biomass will be pressed tightly into solid pellets.
what equipment can make biomass pellets?
When you want to make pellets, you may need some equipment like hammer mill, material mixer, screw feeder, pellet machine, vibrating screen, etc. However, it is not an easy task to combine these facilities all together and place them in a limited space. Luckily, Pellet making machine has developed a new type integrated small biomass pellet plant for making biomass materials like sawdust, wood chips, straw, hay, sunflower husk, etc. into pellets fuel.
