What is Biomass Pellet Machine? Core Working Principle Unveiled
A biomass pellet machine is a professional equipment that compresses loose biomass raw materials (such as wood chips, straw, rice husks, peanut shells, etc.) into high-density granular fuels or feed through mechanical extrusion. Its core working principle relies on the synergistic effect of mechanical pressure and thermal energy, and the whole process can be divided into four key stages:
- Raw Material Pretreatment Adaptation: First, the collected biomass raw materials need to be crushed, dried, and screened to ensure that the particle size and moisture content (optimally 12%-18%) meet the processing requirements. For woody raw materials, the RICHI wood biomass pellet machine is equipped with a professional pretreatment system interface, which can be seamlessly connected with crushers and dryers, realizing continuous and efficient material processing.
- Uniform Feeding: The pretreated raw materials are sent to the granulation chamber through the feeding auger. The forced feeding design adopted by RICHI equipment ensures a stable material supply even when the moisture content of raw materials fluctuates slightly, avoiding problems such as uneven granulation caused by insufficient feeding.
- High-Pressure Extrusion Molding: Inside the granulation chamber, the rotating pressure roller and mold form a wedge-shaped compression space. Under the action of strong pressure, the raw materials are squeezed into the mold holes. During this process, the lignin in the raw materials softens at high temperature (generated by friction between materials and equipment) and acts as a natural adhesive, making the raw materials form dense granules.
- Cutting and Discharging: The formed granules extruded from the mold holes are cut into uniform lengths by the built-in blade, and then discharged through the outlet. The finished granules have high hardness, good shape and stable combustion performance, which are convenient for storage and transportation.

Scientific Purchasing Guide for Biomass Pellet Machine: Choose RICHI to Avoid Pitfalls
Choosing a suitable biomass pellet machine is the key to ensuring production efficiency and product quality. Many users often fall into the purchase trap due to insufficient understanding. Based on years of industry experience, RICHI summarizes the following core purchasing points to help you make rational decisions:
- Clarify Raw Material Characteristics and Production Needs: First, determine the type of raw materials (woody, straw or herbaceous) and expected output. If you mainly process woody raw materials, you should focus on selecting wood biomass pellet machine with high compression ratio and wear-resistant components. For small-scale production (0.5-1 ton/hour), flat die pellet machine can be selected; for medium and large-scale production (2-5 tons/hour), ring die pellet machine is more suitable. RICHI can provide customized wood biomass pellet machine solutions according to the specific raw materials and output of users.
- Focus on Core Parameters Instead of Single Price: Key parameters such as mold compression ratio, main shaft speed and feeding method directly affect the quality of finished products and production efficiency. For example, woody raw materials need a higher compression ratio (1:8-1:10), while straw raw materials are suitable for a compression ratio of 1:5-1:7. Do not only pursue low prices and ignore the quality of core components, which will lead to high later maintenance costs.
