Feed Inlet

01

The design of the feed inlet ensures smooth and stable entry of raw materials into the pellet mill. Its wide structure in conjunction with the inverter-driven motor minimizes the risk of clogging and improves operating efficiency. The adjustable inlet controller allows for precise adjustment of the feed rate, which is essential for maintaining uniform pellet production and adapting to different feedstocks.

Force Feeder

02

Organic based biomass raw materials are usually a very fine and lightweight powder after the raw material processing. The emergence of forced feeders greatly improves the feeding efficiency and provides a strong guarantee for the pelletizing process. It ensures the continuity and consistency of pellet production.

Pelletizing

03

The core function of pelletizing is to compress raw materials into dense pellets. Adjustable mold sizes allow for the production of pellets of varying diameters to meet the needs of different industry applications. High compression technology ensures uniform and consistent pellet quality, reduces waste, and maximizes nutrient density, making it ideal for large-scale pellet production.

Drive Motor

04

The drive motor is the power unit of the pelletizing machine, providing the necessary torque to maintain a consistent pelletizing yield. It features a high-efficiency, energy-efficient motor that reduces power consumption while providing reliable performance under heavy loads. The durable motor design ensures long-term operation with minimal maintenance, reducing overall production costs.

Body Structure

05

The body structure of the wood pellet mill is built from robust, corrosion-resistant materials to withstand continuous use in demanding environments. It is engineered to reduce vibrations during operation, which not only enhances machine stability but also minimizes wear and tear on internal components. This structural integrity ensures a longer lifespan and more reliable performance of the pellet mill.

Feeding and conditioning systems

The frequency conversion feeding system with anti-arching improves the continuity and consistency of the raw material conveyed to a large extent. At the same time there is still a forced feeder escorting the feeder before pelletizing. This improves the yield and quality of the sawdust pellet production from the source.

Drive system

High-end Siemens industrial grade drive motor drives the drive shaft of RICHI sawdust pellet mill, which is more stable and durable than traditional belt drive. In the long run, this not only improves efficiency but also saves maintenance costs.

Structure and material

The body of the machine is made of high quality and high specification alloy steel, which is sturdy and durable, reduces resonance and runs stably. The parts that come into contact with the raw material are made of high grade stainless steel, which does not affect the raw material in any way and greatly improves corrosion resistance.

Sawdust Pellet Machine FAQs: Your Top Questions Answered

A sawdust pellet machine takes loose, dusty sawdust and compresses it into solid, high-density pellets—kind of like turning flour into pasta. These pellets are compact, uniform, and much easier to store, handle, and burn. Inside the machine, the sawdust is pushed through a steel ring die under pressure and heat. No glue or chemicals needed—just the natural lignin in the wood that binds everything together. It’s an eco-friendly way to give value to waste and turn it into biomass fuel or even animal bedding.

Absolutely—and that's why more and more businesses are jumping in. Sawdust that used to be dumped or burned can now be recycled into fuel pellets, cat litter, bedding, or even BBQ briquettes. With the right market (say, local heating suppliers or fuel retailers), you can earn good margins. One customer in Eastern Europe turned a small carpentry shop's waste into a full-time pellet business. If you’ve got the raw material and space, a sawdust pellet machine can turn “waste” into real income.

The price of a sawdust pellet mill depends on how big a machine you want. For a small machine (a few hundred kilograms per hour), it may cost $20,000 to $100,000 USD. For larger lines producing 2-5 tons per hour, it could cost $100,000 to $500,000 or more. Of course, different production program designs and equipment configurations all have different prices. Comparatively speaking, the higher the production volume, the larger the investment, but still very cost-effective compared to the long-term return. We will provide you with a transparent offer based on your needs - no surprises, no guesswork. We have helped customers in Russia and Southeast Asia start with one machine and expand as their business grows.

Great question—and here’s the exciting part. Once you make your high-density pellets, they’re super versatile:

  1. Heating fuel
    • for boilers, stoves, or even power plants
  2. Cat litter and animal bedding
    • (softwoods are great for this)
  3. BBQ and grill fuel
  4. Fuel for small-scale district heating systems in Europe
  5. Bulk export as biomass fuel

In Europe and North America, heating fuel and BBQ pellets are popular. In Southeast Asia, many customers produce for export. We help you figure out what fits your market best.

Most dry, fine sawdust from hardwood or softwood can be used—pine, poplar, birch, beech, teak, etc. But here's the key: moisture content matters. The sawdust should be 10–15% moisture for optimal pelletizing. If it’s too wet or full of bark and big chips, it can jam the machine or make crumbly pellets. Many customers use a dryer and a hammer mill before pelletizing to get the right texture. We’ll help you test your material and recommend any prep you need.

You don’t have to start massive—we offer models for every level. Many clients begin with a 500 kg/h sawdust pellet maker and scale up after gaining some market traction. If you're running a furniture workshop, sawmill, or small joinery, that size is often perfect. For those with larger raw material volumes or contracts in place, we also offer 2TPH, 5TPH, or even full 10TPH+ production lines. We’ll help you size your system based on your budget, space, and output goals.

A full line typically includes:

  1. Sawdust dryer
    • (if your material is too moist)
  2. Hammer mill
    • (to crush bigger chips)
  3. Mixer or buffer bin
  4. Sawdust pellet mill / press
  5. Pellet cooler
    • (hot pellets need to cool before storage)
  6. Screener
    • (to filter out fines)
  7. Bagging system

Not hard at all—with some basic training, most customers are up and running in no time. The machine needs:

  1. Regular cleaning
  2. Checking the rollers and die for wear
  3. Lubrication (greasing points)

We provide a maintenance checklist, simple manuals, and even WhatsApp support for troubleshooting. In Russia, we trained a two-person team with no technical background to run a full 2TPH line. With a little practice, anyone can manage this machine confidently.

Yes. We’ve installed machines in over 130 countries, and we have regional partners and spare parts supply systems to support you wherever you are. Whether you're in Kenya, Vietnam, Kazakhstan, or Poland, we can ship quickly and provide remote installation guidance, or even dispatch a technician if needed. We also provide training videos, local-language guides, and real-time tech support.

Absolutely. That’s where our 30+ years of experience come in. We don’t just sell machines—we help you build a complete sawdust recycling business. That includes:

  1. Site layout
  2. Power requirements
  3. Workflow planning
  4. Packaging ideas
  5. Marketing tips (especially for fuel pellets or bedding products)
  6. And of course, machine selection
