5 T/H Wood Pellet Production Line Guide: Pellet Machine & Full Process

2026-11-07 10:21:47

A complete 5 T/H wood pellet production line includes five main processing stages. 

The ring die pellet machine is the core machine for pellet forming. 

Pellets are formed by the natural lignin of biomass materials, and no extra binders are required.


Raw materials such as wood scraps, sawdust, straw, bamboo powder and corn cobs are crushed to below 3 mm. 

Magnetic separation and screening remove metal impurities and lumps, 

which protects the ring die and rollers and prevents blockage of the pellet machine.


The ideal moisture content for pelletizing is 12%-15%. 

The rotary dryer automatically adjusts parameters to maintain uniform moisture. 

A buffer silo stabilizes the material status to avoid pellet cracking and unstable output of the pellet machine.


This line adopts an 850 vertical ring die pellet machine with high-torque direct drive and double pressing rollers. 

The constant-temperature cooling design effectively avoids overheating and die blockage. 

Intelligent control supports stable 24-hour continuous production at 5 tons per hour.


Hot pellets over 80℃ are cooled down to room temperature in a counterflow pellet cooler. 

The sifter separates fines and broken pellets, which will be recycled back for re-pelletizing to improve the material utilization rate.


The automatic weighing and bagging system matches the production capacity. 

The whole line runs automatically from raw material feeding to finished pellet storage, greatly cutting labor costs for your pellet plant.
