Build a Large Capacity Wood Pellet Factory, 5k tons/month Up

A large capacity wood pellet factory has a greater risk than a small capacity wood pellet factory. At the factory the production target becomes an important benchmark in addition to the quality of the wood pellets, of course. The consequence is the use of reliable production machines so that the production target can be achieved. Whereas in small capacity wood pellet factories, usually with small production, with short working hours the quality of the production machines is not as good as for such large capacities, so the investment for purchasing machines is also cheaper. Ability to work continuously with long working hours, minimum downtime, as well as stable output and product quality. These high-performance production machines usually have high “flying hour” so they can be relied on. Although the price of the tool is more expensive, it is still an option because the goal is achieved, namely the quality and quantity of wood pellet products according to the plan.

In general, a manufacturer of production equipment or machinery and especially wood pellets does not make from A-Z or all of its equipment (complete line). In general, they are specialists in only one or several equipments, especially the pelletiser / pelleter because it is the heart of the wood pellet production. While other equipments is made by other companies. When the production equipment or machine manufacturer offers a complete line unit for the production of wood pellets, they mean that they have added a number of supporting equipments from several of their network vendors. So is it possible if you want to make your own wood pellet factory according to your own wishes or do customization so that the equipment from a number of vendors is assembled by yourself so that the wood pellet production line is complete? Of course you can, but it requires a number of special skills or is like making your own car with equipments or components from many vendors. For example, assembling a number of these machines and even though they are from well-known engine manufacturers, they may not provide optimal performance because do not know their characteristics including the compatibility.

Although basically to get the best level of performance with a high level of efficiency but looking for the best combination not an easy thing. The price factor is also another variable to get the best combination. Experienced machine providers or sellers can provide according to the buyer's wishes, especially with a limited budget but want excellent performance. The higher “the flying hour” or the experience of the machine provider, the better in providing the offer because they already know the characteristics of each of the equipment. Installation, commissioning, training to after sales service are the next considerations. In the large wood pellet industry, customization of equipment from various vendors making production equipment to the safety aspect is a common thing. Moreover, the selection of the equipment is also based on the experience of wood pellet factories that are already operating. Customization is indeed something unique that is much influenced by previous experiences.

Previous experience with a certain equipment manufacturers is an important experience to determine the performance or characteristics of an equipment. Of course, it is very difficult to know all the characteristics of the equipment available on the market because there are so many manufacturers of equipment providers, the location of the equipment providers and the ability to handle a wood pellet project. In addition to technical factors, human relations factors also play a role in this, especially the success stories of previous projects. Upgrading equipment is usually become an entry point for collaboration with other vendors, especially since the previous vendor did not have this capability, for example, to increase the efficiency and flexibility of raw material belt dryer used to replace rotary dryer due to better drying capabilities, or certain hammer mill that also have certain capabilities and so on. And especially if you already have long experience with them before.
