Turnkey Wood Pellet Production Line Equipment
RICHI Machinery‘s wood pellet production line uses proven pelletizing tech to turn sawdust, wood chips, offcuts, and other waste wood into eco friendly fuel pellets. It solves waste headaches and helps you boost profits.
Production Line Overview
A wood pellet production line is a complete automated system designed to turn various wood waste into standard sized pellets. From raw material in to finished bags out, the whole process runs smoothly without complicated steps. Sawdust from furniture plants, branches from forests, offcuts from wood processing… any dry or semi dry wood waste works.
The pellets you get have high heat value, stable burn, and low ash content. Whether for industrial boilers, home heating, or biomass power plants, they fit right in. You stay green and turn waste into something you can sell.
Capacity: 1–60 T/H
Price: 20,000+ USD
Real-World Wood Pellet Production Line Videos & Case Studies
Through selected real factory videos and project analysis around the world, we will take you to explore every key link of modern wood pellet processing. From raw material drying, efficient granulation to cooling screening and intelligent packaging, we will comprehensively demonstrate the actual operating performance and process details of production lines of different scales.
Small Wood Chip Pellet Production Line in Moldova
This 1t/h wood chip pellet production line located in Moldova fully showcases the drying section. The core equipment is a biomass drum dryer. After the materials are dried, they smoothly enter the pelletizer for efficient processing.
The wood pellet line price is very competitive. It is an ideal solution to help local small and medium-sized enterprises achieve low-cost and high-efficiency conversion of wood chips into high-quality biomass pellets.
Wood Pellet Production Project in Turkish
This 2t/h wood pellet production line located in Turkey has a very high level of automation. After the finished granules come out of the granulator, they first enter the counter-flow cooler for cooling. Then, they are precisely screened out as qualified granules through a vibrating screen and conveyed to the packaging section by a belt conveyor.
The entire production line has a high level of intelligence. Only 1-2 people are needed on site at the end to handle the sorting, stacking and packaging of the finished pellets, significantly reducing the labor intensity and operational costs.
Wood Pellet Production Line in Romanian
This 5t/h wood pellet line located in Romania is of a large scale. The video highlights the efficient operation of the pelletizer and the high-quality finished pellets produced.
At the same time, close-up shots were taken of the core electrical control equipment, the cooling machine, and the ton bag scale, fully demonstrating the excellent automation control capability and outstanding finished product packaging level of this production line.

Complete Wood Pellet Production Line Process Design
RICHI Machinery builds every step of the wood pellet production process to flow smoothly. Each stage locks in quality so pellets come out consistent and perform well.
01
Raw Material Preparation
Making wood pellets starts with getting your materials ready. Common materials include logs, branches, wood chips, and furniture offcuts. These come in all shapes and sizes. You need to sort them and pull out obvious trash so downstream processing goes easier.
02
Chipping
Big pieces go through a chipper to get cut into uniform wood chips. This evens out the shape so later steps like grinding and drying work more consistently.
03
Grinding
Those chips then go into a grinder to get turned into fine, even wood powder. Grinding breaks down the wood fiber structure and makes the material fine enough for high pressure pelletizing. That gives you dense, solid pellets.
04
Drying
The powder‘s moisture level varies, so it goes through a rotary drum dryer with steady heat. We carefully control temperature and time to get moisture down to the sweet spot of 10%–15%. Not too wet, not too dry. Perfect for making pellets.
05
Pelletizing
The dry, uniform powder enters a biomass pellet machine where high pressure squeezes it into pellets. As a key step in the wood pellet production line, the mill presses the wood powder into shape, giving you evenly sized, dense pellets that are hard, solid, and won’t fall apart easily.
06
Cooling
Fresh pellets come out hot and soft. They‘d bend or crack easily. A cooler pulls the heat out fast, letting the pellets harden and set. That makes them stronger and less likely to crumble during storage or shipping.
07
Screening
Once cooled, pellets go over a screener to remove dust, fines, and broken pellets. You end up with uniform, good looking pellets. Everything off spec gets pulled out so only quality product gets bagged.
08
Automatic Packaging
The good pellets then go to an automatic packer. The machine weighs, counts, bags, and seals everything. Fast and hands off. Bags come out neat and sealed, ready for storage or shipping.
Each step in wood pellet production is designed around what pelletizing needs. You get stable quality and high output. Got special materials or capacity needs? Just reach out for a custom setup.

Buyer’s Guide & Support Center
All your questions are answered here! Below are answers to frequently asked questions about the wood pellet production lines, providing you with comprehensive answers.
What does the line need from raw materials?
→
The line has clear requirements for incoming material. Moisture should be between 8% and 12%. Any wetter or drier and pellet quality suffers. Particle size matters too. Material going into the pellet mill should be no bigger than about 5mm. Larger chunks need grinding first. For chemistry and purity, no chemical contamination or corrosive stuff allowed. Ash, sulfur, and chlorine need to meet environmental limits. That way you can pass high end certifications like European ENplus.
How much power does it use? Is it expensive to run?
→
Our line is built to save energy. Power use per ton is 10%–15% lower than ordinary equipment. Exact consumption depends on your line size and materials. For example, a small 1 ton/hour line uses about 80–100 kWh per hour. That‘s reasonable for the industry.
Can the line process multiple wood types at once?
→
Yes, RICHI’s wood pellet production line handles material mixing very well. Softwood, hardwood, or blends… just adjust the dryer and pellet mill settings and it runs fine. In practice, softwoods like pine and fir compress easily and are good for boosting output. Hardwoods like oak and eucalyptus have higher heat value but need more power and tighter control. You can even mix in byproducts like paper mill residue or palm shells at certain ratios. That diversifies your material sources and gets the most value from each type.
Are wear parts easy to get? Hard to replace?
→
Common wear parts like dies and rollers are in stock. We ship fast so you don‘t shut down for long. Replacement is not complicated. Your workers can do it after training. Won’t eat up much production time.
How Long Does the Line Last? Are Maintenance Costs High?
→
With normal use and upkeep, this pellet line is built to last 8–10 years. Core parts utilize wear-resistant materials to ensure low failure rates, meaning your long-term operating costs remain low relative to the initial wood pellet production line price. Daily maintenance involves just regular lubrication and cleaning, keeping expenses minimal. We also provide periodic maintenance guidance to maximize your investment.
Does after-sales service include installation and training?
→
Yes, our after sales covers full on site installation, commissioning, and thorough worker training. Once equipment arrives, we send experienced techs to your site for positioning, assembly, and testing. After the line runs at its best, our engineers stay to train your operators hands on. Training covers daily startup and shutdown, changing dies and rollers, lubing key parts, and basic troubleshooting. We make sure your people can run the line safely and independently.
