Machine list and specification of 400-500kg/h small wood pellet line:

1. Wood crusher/Hammer mill

The wood crusher/Hammer mill is used to grinding the raw material to <5mm size. If your raw material is wood logs, tree branches or bamboo, the wood crusher is your good choice, because a wood crusher can make sawdust from wood logs or tree branches or bamboo directly. If your raw material is straw, coconut shell, peanut shell, corn cobs, corn or wheat stalk, wood chips, wood residues, wasted wood., etc a hammer mill is much more better to grinding them. If you have different kind of raw material to make pellets, and the raw material have different sizes, a doublet inlet crusher machine is best choice, because the doublet inlet crusher machine have both function of wood crusher and hammer mill.

Flash dryer also called pipe dryer, a biomass drying machine suitable to dry small size biomass material like sawdust, wood powder. In 400-500kg/h small pellet line a pipe dryer is economical, since the cost of such a dryer is low and takes smaller place to install.  The flash dryer is capable to dry the moisture of biomass material from 30-35% to 12-15% directly. If your raw material moisture is high, lets say higher than 45% it is better choose a rotary drum dryer instead of the flash dryer.
