Brief Introduction
As a country rich in forestry resources in Eastern Europe, Romania generates significant amounts of wood processing residues annually. Capitalizing on the growing EU demand for renewable energy, a local enterprise partnered with RICHI in August 2022 to establish a modern wood pellet production line in Romania
This wood pellet production line for the Romanian client utilizes locally abundant sawdust from sawmills and woodworking facilities as raw material, converting it into high-value biomass fuel to meet the region’s rising demand for clean energy.
- Capacity: 2-2.5 T/H
- Pellet Diameter: 6-12 mm wood fuel pellet
- Raw Materials: Beech sawdust, wood chips, forest waste branches, recycled furniture, formwork, wood shavings, and other wood processing residues
- Installation Period: 50 Days
Market Opportunity Analysis for wood pellet Production Line in Romania
Europe is a major global producer and consumer of wood pellets, backed by strong green policy incentives. Seizing this market opportunity to establish an efficient wood pellet production line—transforming piles of wood waste into stable thermal energy and a steady cash flow—is the most pragmatic choice for local business owners.
- Abundant Resources
- Romania has rich forest resources, with a stable and low-cost supply of wood processing by-products such as sawdust and wood shavings.
- Policy Incentives
- The EU’s carbon neutrality goals are driving demand for biomass energy, including wood pellets, which are widely used in heating, power generation, and other sectors.
- Strong Demand
- Industries in Central and Eastern Europe require stable heat sources, and wood pellets offer lower costs than natural gas. Romania’s push for “clean heating” further boosts the market potential for biomass heating.
- Financial Support
- Romania provides subsidies for biomass heating projects through the “Environmental Fund,” while rural energy renovation projects can access EU funding via the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR).

Process Flow of wood pellet Production Line in Romania
The wood pellet production line in Romania uses beech sawdust, wood chips, and forest waste branches as raw materials. Through processes such as cleaning (iron and impurity removal), crushing, drying, homogenization, granulation, cooling, and packaging, it produces wood chip pellets with a size of 6mm.
1
Raw Material Cleaning Section:
The Romanian customer’s primary raw material is beech sawdust, which requires no secondary crushing. Only a rotary pre-cleaner is used to remove impurities (such as stones, iron filings, and large wood blocks).
2
Crushing Section:
A wood chip crusher with both chipping and crushing functions is utilized to grind raw materials (e.g., wood chips, forest waste branches) into sawdust of approximately 3mm, facilitating subsequent granulation.
3
Drying Section:
The crushed woody raw materials are fed into a rotary drum dryer for drying, controlling the moisture content to around 15%. This ensures optimal granulation results and improves pellet formation rate.
4
Homogenization Section:
The dried sawdust is conveyed into a storage silo for thorough mixing and homogenization. This process eliminates inconsistencies in particle size distribution and moisture content of the raw material, ensuring uniform physical properties (e.g., density, fluidity) before granulation.
5
Granulation Section:
The dried raw materials are put into the feed hopper, which is equipped with an arch-breaking device to prevent material caking through continuous stirring. The granulator is fitted with a forced feeder that pushes materials into the granulation chamber. Inside the chamber, the wood chip raw materials are extruded and shaped into dense pellets.
6
Cooling Section:
Freshly formed wood pellets are conveyed to the cooling system via a belt conveyor. The cooler rapidly reduces the pellet temperature to room temperature, avoiding adhesion or mold growth.
7
Screening Section:
After cooling, the wood pellets pass through a vibrating screen to remove fine impurities. Qualified finished products flow into the finished product silo, while powder and oversized pellets are recycled for secondary processing.
8
Finished Product Packaging Section:
Automatic packaging scales accurately weigh and package the finished pellets according to preset weights.
Romanian Wood Pellet Production Line Project Execution Process
The Romanian wood pellet production line project follows five phases—analysis & design, equipment production, installation, training, trial operation—ensuring customized, stable delivery.
