Vertical Pellet Mill
Vertical Pellet Mill Overview
The vertical pellet mill is a type of pelletizing equipment widely utilized in the fields of biomass pellet processing. Unlike conventional pellet mills, the die in a vertical biomass pellet mill is positioned horizontally, with the main drive shaft oriented perpendicular to the die.
Furthermore, material feeds naturally into the compression chamber via gravity. This design makes it particularly well-suited for processing biomass fibers—such as sawdust, straw, rice husks, and hay—that are lightweight in texture and present greater challenges in terms of pellet formation.
Richi Manufacture currently offers various models of vertical pellet mills with production capacities ranging from 1 to 10 tons per hour. If you are looking to efficiently launch a biomass pelleting business, please feel free to contact us; we will provide you with a detailed solution tailored to your needs.
Technical Features of RICHI Vertical Pellet Mill
The vertical pellet mill features a unique vertical ring-die structural design. Its core components primarily comprise the die and press roller assembly, the transmission system (including the gearbox, main shaft, and bearings), the automatic lubrication system, the feeder and cooling system. The design and manufacturing quality of these core components ultimately determine the vertical biomass pellet mill’s ability to achieve high output, low energy consumption, and a long service life.
01
Gear Drive System
Our vertical ring die pellet mill features a high-precision gearbox that delivers powerful torque for the pelletizing process, offering superior load-bearing capacity and smoother operation. The gears undergo a carburizing and quenching treatment to ensure exceptional wear resistance.
02
Ring Die and Roller Assembly
In the vertical pellet mill, the ring die is positioned horizontally and remains stationary. Pressure rollers rotate within the ring die to compress and shape the material. Both the ring die and the pressure rollers are constructed from hard alloy steel, ensuring a long service life and achieving a pellet formation rate of up to 98%.
03
VFD Feeder
The vertical biomass pellet mill employs a vertical feeding mechanism, allowing material to drop directly from the top-mounted feeder into the pelletizing chamber, thereby preventing bridging. The feeder is equipped with variable frequency speed control, enabling automatic adjustment of the feed rate to prevent blockages.
04
Siemens Main Motor
Our vertical pellet mill is equipped with a Siemens motor, delivering powerful performance, smooth operation, and high energy efficiency. The motor is vertically mounted on the pellet mill, thereby saving space.
05
Cooling System
Our vertical ring die pellet mill is equipped with a fan to accelerate heat dissipation and waste discharge. Besides, the vertical biomass pellet mill features an open-top design, allowing the heat generated during compression to dissipate naturally and preventing the machine’s interior from overheating.
06
Lubrication System
The vertical wood pellet mill comes with a thin-oil circulation lubrication system, which provides lubrication for both the reducer and the main shaft bearing chamber, thereby extending the service life of these core components. Furthermore, it serves the dual function of providing cooling.
