[Science] How is biomass pellet fuel made?

 


The forming technology of biomass pellet fuel refers to the process of dispersing various kinds of biomass raw materials such as straw and wood chips that are originally dispersed without a certain shape under the action of a certain temperature and pressure. After being crushed and dried, it is a new technology that presses into various shaped fuels with a certain shape and high density. 

Biomass pellets are formed into pelletized fuels, with a diameter of 6-12mm that can be processed into different specifications by changing the abrasive tool, and pellets of 4-12mm in length can be produced in different specifications through the adjustment of the cutter. Its quality is equivalent to medium-grade bituminous coal, which can be burned directly and its combustion characteristics are significantly improved. At the same time, it has the advantages of less black smoke, strong firepower, full combustion, no fly ash, clean and hygienic, and less pollutant emissions. It is easy to transport and store. It is an environmentally friendly and clean production process. It is also a comprehensive utilization of waste crop straws and wood scraps. One of the effective ways to achieve this has received extensive attention at home and abroad in recent years. 

Biomass fuel pellet making equipment is to prevent the material from rebounding back to its original shape and maintain a certain shape and strength. The compression process does not need to add any binders. It belongs to the physical molding of fiber materials. From the perspective of the composition of biomass such as straw and wood chips, it is mainly composed of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, resin, wax and other components. Among the various components that make up biomass, lignin is generally considered to be the best internal binder inherent in living organisms. At room temperature, the main part of the original lignin is insoluble in any organic solvents, but the lignin is amorphous and has no melting point but a softening point. When the temperature reaches about 70°C to 110°C, it softens and the adhesion starts to increase. At this time, a certain pressure is applied to the outside to make it tightly bond with cellulose, hemicellulose, etc., and at the same time to glue with neighboring biomass particles. Join together. After being cooled down, the strength of the briquettes increases, and a rod, block, and granular biomass solid briquette fuel with combustion properties similar to wood can be obtained. The entire molding process is a physical extrusion bonding molding, which does not cause any pollution to the atmosphere.

How to adjust the gap between the pressure roller of the biomass pellet making machine and the ring die?

  The gap between the pressure roller and the ring die is one of the important parameters adjusted during the operation of the biomass pellet making machine . The adjustment process is also one of the important adjustment steps before the operation of the biomass pellet making machine. The rationality of the gap adjustment will directly affect the use of the biomass pellet making machine. Correct adjustment can save the cost of biomass pellet making machine and improve economic benefits. This article introduces 5 kinds of small knowledge about the adjustment of the gap between the pressure roller and the ring die of the biomass pellet machine:   In general, the rotation direction of the biomass pellet mill ring die is clockwise. For a biomass pellet machine equipped with two rollers, the largest eccentric flange of the left roller should be installed in the upper left half of the ring die when the roller is installed. Zone, the largest eccentric flange of the right press rolle...

Common faults and maintenance methods of biomass pellet making machine

  The normal operation of the biomass pellet making machine can ensure the production efficiency, so the daily maintenance and maintenance of the biomass pellet making equipment is very important. Due to the long-term operation of the biomass pellet making machine, various failures will inevitably occur, which requires us to accumulate a wealth of experience in troubleshooting for a long time. The following is the maintenance method of our factory for the common faults of the biomass pellet making machine for your reference. Raw materials cannot enter the pelletizing room   Cause of issue: The conditioner is blocked or the feed port is arched Failure of the feeder auger transmission The feeder auger is blocked  Repair method: Clear the conditioner or feed port Check the feeder auger drive device and troubleshoot Clean the material on the feeder auger  There are raw materials entering the granulation chamber but no granules can be pressed Cause of issue: Die hole blo...

It is not recommended to buy a small wood pelletizer.

When customers buy wood pelletizer, we generally recommend choosing large ones instead of small ones, because larger models are more stable and durable. why? Let's start with the principle of the wood pelletizer. The principle of the wood pelletizer is that the pressure wheel strongly squeezes the sawdust through the holes of the die to form sawdust pellets. If you replace the abrasive tool or the pressure wheel with wood, can you still make pellets? Obviously not, then go a step further, the mold pressing wheel is made of iron, can it work? Certainly not. The larger the size of the wood pelletizer, the larger and thicker the grinding wheel, the greater the rigidity and strength of the overall model, while the strength of the raw wood chips is unchanged, so the larger the equipment, the more "labor-saving" it is to press, and the stability of the equipment The better the performance, the longer the service life. As the equipment increases, the processing difficulty of th...
