Feed Mills And Biomass Pelleting Plants

Feed and fuel pelleting plants live on two margins: the spread between raw material and pellet, and the hours the line actually runs. Both are decided by the grinder in front of the die and by how quickly a worn die can be changed.

Reality On Site

Pain Points We Hear

  • Husk and straw pile up as a disposal cost instead of a product.
  • Uneven feed into the die wears it unevenly and shortens its life.
  • Oversized or wet fibre chokes the pellet mill and forces a stop.
  • Transport of loose biomass costs more than the material is worth.
  • Raw material and finished pellets need storage that does not absorb moisture.
Requirements

What The Plant Actually Needs

  • A hammer mill matched to the chip size coming out of the chipper
  • A pellet mill with a quick release die and reliable coupling
  • Cone or welded silos for raw material and finished pellets
  • Packing scales for 25 kg and 50 kg bags
  • Conveying between grinding, pelleting, cooling and bagging
Process Route

The Feed Mills And Biomass Pelleting Plants Process Route

ChippingRaw material reduced to a size the hammer mill can take, up to 30 mm.
GrindingHammer mill produces an even particle size for the die.
ConditioningMaterial moisture brought into the range the die needs.
PelletingRing die pellet mill compresses the material into pellets.
CoolingPellets cooled before storage so they do not sweat in the bag.
StorageCone or welded silos hold raw material and finished pellets.
BaggingQuantitative scales fill and weigh 25 kg or 50 kg sacks.
Scenarios

Typical Project Scenarios

  • Rice husk from an adjacent mill turned into fuel pellets
  • Wood chip and sawdust pelleting for boiler fuel
  • Straw and pasture pelleting for animal feed
  • Feed plant storing maize and finished feed in cone granaries
FAQ

Feed Mills And Biomass Pelleting Plants Questions

Is the pellet line supplied complete?

TITAN offers the biofuel pellet production line as consultation, design, planning, manufacture, installation and follow up upgrade.

What throughput can one pellet mill deliver?

From 0.7 to 1.0 t/h on a 55 kW TITN470 up to 2.5 to 3.5 t/h on a 220 kW TITN850, with the figure depending on raw material and specification.

Which silo suits finished feed?

Cone granaries and welded silos are used for feed and powder, because they discharge completely through the cone without a sweeper.

Can I pellet more than one material?

Yes, with die and roller selection per material. Husk, wood chips, sawdust, straw, pasture and palm leaf are all in the stated application range.
