Sawdust Pellet Machine
Sawdust Pellet Machine for High-Fiber Wood Waste
Are you facing these problems?
- Large amounts of sawdust, shavings, and other wood scraps accumulate with nowhere to be stored;
- Frequent malfunctions in sawdust pellet making machines result in unstable output;
- Poor pellet formation leads to loose and brittle pellets;
- Rapid wear of the ring die and pressure rollers necessitates frequent replacement of parts, resulting in high maintenance costs;
- Unstable raw material moisture content, uneven feeding, and improper die roller gaps cause material agglomeration and equipment blockage.
If these challenges sound familiar, then RICHI sawdust pellet mill is the ultimate solution you’ve been looking for. The equipment is optimized for the sawdust characteristics, and wear-resistant materials are used for vulnerable parts such as the ring die and pressure rollers, reducing maintenance costs. An adjustable feeding structure combined with flexible die-roller gaps adapts to fluctuations in raw material moisture content, reducing blockages and ensuring continuous and stable production.
The finished pellets are compact and not easily broken, processing idle wood waste into fuel pellets, solving storage problems and generating revenue. On-site installation and commissioning, operation training, and 24/7 technical support are also provided to ensure stable production.

Premium Core Parts
High-performance sawdust pellet machines are far more than simple assemblies of parts. RICHI meticulously crafts each key component into a precisely coordinated system, adhering strictly to world-class standards. Each core component plays a vital role. They work together to ensure that even the most challenging raw materials are transformed into high-quality sawdust pellets. Furthermore, we have obtained numerous authoritative certifications, including CE, ISO, and SGS. These are not merely certificates, but a testament to our commitment to cutting-edge technology and superior quality.

01
Durable Pelletizing Components
We manufacture our ring dies and pressure roller assemblies using high-strength, wear-resistant alloy steel (42CrMo). Furthermore, we subject these components to quenching and carburizing heat treatment. Compared to the industry average, this results in over 30% longer lifespan for core wear parts, significantly reducing your daily maintenance costs and downtime.
02
Variable frequency speed control feeder
Our pellet mill for sawdust can efficiently handles wheat straw, rice straw, corn stalks, and mixed agricultural residues. This adaptability ensures stable pellet production from seasonally available feedstocks, maximizing resource utilization and offering flexibility in raw material sourcing for our clients.
03
Heavy-duty gearbox
We replace the traditional belt-driven system with a heavy-duty gearbox, resulting in extremely high energy conversion efficiency. Paired with a Siemens motor, it increases hourly output by 15%~20% with the same power consumption, helping you effectively reduce the electricity cost per ton of pellets.
04
Automatic lubrication system
The lubrication system can automatically supply oil to components such as ring dies, pressure rollers, core bearings, and gearboxes, thereby reducing friction and preventing equipment overheating, while also reducing reliance on manual maintenance.
05
worm gear reducer
Lowering the motor speed extends the residence time of sawdust within the die cavity; increasing output torque provides ample power for material extrusion. High torque output achieves strong extrusion, while the low-speed design extends the duration of pressure on the sawdust. The reducer gears maintain continuous and smooth meshing, ensuring stable pellet mill operation and reduced vibration.

What raw materials can your sawdust pellet mill process?
→
Our sawdust pellet mill features multi-stage compression and an adjustable die design. It offers excellent adaptability to most wood fiber materials, including soft/hardwood sawdust, bamboo powder, and crushed pruning branches. We recommend providing a sample of your material (~5 kg). We can conduct a complimentary test run and provide a pelletization report to ensure optimal compatibility.
What is the lifespan of your machine’s key components (ring die & press rollers)? Is maintenance costly?
→
The core components are manufactured from special alloy steel and undergo deep carburizing treatment. Under normal operating conditions, the lifespan of ring die and press rollers can reach 3000+ hours, (depending on material hardness). They feature a modular design for easy replacement. We also maintain a long-term stock of affordable genuine spare parts to help you effectively control your per-ton production cost.
