Product Segments and Detailed Overview

A) Biomass Pellet Making Machines & Pellet Plants

What Is a Biomass Pellet Plant?

A biomass pellet plant converts agricultural and forestry waste—such as sawdust, rice husk, groundnut shells, bagasse, bamboo residues, cotton stalk, mustard stalk, and many others—into dense, cylindrical pellets.

These pellets are easy to transport, store, and burn efficiently, making them a preferred solid biofuel.

Typical Biomass Pellet Plant Process Flow

A high-performance pellet plant usually follows this flow:

Raw material collection & feeding
Size reduction (wood shredder / crusher / hammer mill)
Drying (flash dryer / rotary dryer / hybrid dryer) to safe moisture range
Mixing/conditioning (for binder or moisture balancing)
Pelletizing (flat die or ring die pellet mill)
Cooling (vibro cooler or counterflow cooler)
Sieving (remove fines, recycle back)
Storage & packing

FABON’s strength is providing the right machine combination depending on raw material, required output (TPH), moisture conditions, and end-use market.

Flat Die Pellet Mill vs Ring Die Pellet Mill

Both technologies are widely used, but selection depends on output requirement and duty cycle.

Flat Die Pellet Mill (Typical Advantages):

Simple design and easy maintenance
Good for small to mid-scale projects
Suitable for a variety of biomass materials
Cost-effective entry into pellet production

Ring Die Pellet Mill (Typical Advantages):

Higher capacity and continuous production

Often preferred for industrial pellet output targets
Designed for heavy-duty operations

FABON supports both machine types, helping clients choose based on capacity goals, budget, raw material, and operating hours.

B) Wood Shredder Machines / Wood Crusher Systems

Role in Plant

Wood shredders and crushers handle large pieces of raw material and reduce them to a manageable size. They are typically used for:

Wood waste and wood logs
Pallets and packaging waste
Agro residues
Biomass cleaning and pre-processing lines

Key Factors in Shredder Selection

Input size and hardness
Moisture content
Desired output size
Throughput requirement (kg/hr or TPH)
Blade design, wear life, and ease of change

FABON designs shredders with industrial productivity in mind—strong build, durable cutting system, and practical safety design.

C) Sawdust Making Machines

Why Sawdust Machines Matter

Sawdust is one of the most demanded raw materials for biomass pellets. Many plants invest in sawdust machines to convert wood into sawdust suitable for drying and pelletizing.

A good sawdust machine must maintain:

consistent output size
stable running with variable wood types
strong rotor design and balancing
safe feeding system
durable wear components

FABON’s sawdust solutions are built for steady production with minimal downtime.

D) Hammer Mill Machines (Biomass Grinding)

Hammer Mill Function

Hammer mills reduce biomass into fine particles that improve pellet quality and help uniform drying. Hammer mills are critical for:

achieving correct particle size distribution
improving pellet density and binding
supporting smoother pellet mill operation

Key Engineering Considerations

rotor speed and hammer design
screen size selection
bearing and balancing quality
dust control arrangement
motor and power transmission selection

FABON hammer mills are often integrated into complete plant lines as a key step before pelletizing.

E) Drying Systems: Flash Dryers, Rotary Dryers, Hybrid Dryers

Why Drying Is the Heart of Biomass Processing

Moisture is one of the biggest variables in biomass production. Many raw materials arrive with high moisture, which causes:

poor pellet formation
die choking and high load
low pellet durability
storage and fungal issues
poor combustion and higher smoke

Drying stabilizes the process and improves product quality.

Flash Dryer (For Fine Materials)

Flash dryers are typically used for materials like:

fine sawdust
