Pellet Plant Schematic

Depending on the input product, which can be dry wood shavings, wet sawdust, wood chips or even whole tree trunks, different process steps are required.  Directly before the pelleting press, a product with a granular size of approx. 4 mm and a residual moisture content of approx. 10 % is required.

This means tree trunks require the maximum process steps: debarking, wet chipping, drying, dry grinding, pre-conditioning, pelleting, cooling, storing or loading.  If wet sawdust is available, for example, drying will be the first process step.  In case of dry, precrushed product, the actual pelleting plant starting with preconditioning will be sufficient.
