[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 build a 5 tons per hour compound livestock poultry chicken pellet feed production line？

  What are the components of China 5tph compound animal poultry chicken pellet feed production line ？ Agricultural and animal feeding is the foundation of economy and the main source of income for over 60% of the population of Uzbekistan and therefore remains an important sector which cannot be ignored. Feed manufacturing or processing is the process of producing animal feed or "fodder" from raw agricultural products such as hay, straw, silage, compressed and pelleted feeds, oils, sprouted grains and legumes etc. Fodder produced by manufacturing is formulated in order to meet the specific animal nutrition required for different species of poultry animals at different life stages depending on their gender, breed and environment. Recently, a set of  5tph poultry pellet feed manufacturing plant machinery  has been exported to Uzbekistan. This  5 tons capacity poultry feed making line for pellet  was designed for making feed pellets for poultry chicken broiler layer...

Reasons and solutions for the wood pellet machine not discharging

  In recent years, the sales of wood pellets have been booming, and the wood pellet machine for sale have also gone online. Many bosses bought wood pellet machines for biomass, straw and sawdust pellet production, but they did not discharge after a period of operation. we summed up the most feedback from customers, and summarized some of the reasons and solutions for the non-discharge of the pellet machine. The common reasons for not discharging of the wood pellet machine are: 1. The moisture content of the material is inappropriate. Too much or too little moisture in the material will cause the die hole to be blocked, causing the wood pellet machine to fail to discharge the material. In this case, the boss should check the summarized materials and control the moisture content between 10%-15%. 2. The mold pressure plate and the pressure roller are severely worn. The die platen and the pressure roller are the main parts of the pellet machine, and they are also vulnerable parts. If ...
