Wheat straw is a huge potential resource for cogeneration and a possible alternative to woody biomass. The use of wheat straw as a renewable energy resource is limited by its low bulk density (about 40kg/m²), which makes it expensive to handle. One way to overcome this limitation is to use a wheat straw pellet machine. Wheat straw pellet machines are able to recycle these straws into profitable fuel pellets, which have a higher density and can be transported over long distances at a lower cost.

Wheat straw pellet machine is a new type of biomass energy processing equipment, mainly used for deep processing of crop straw, forming pellet processing, can be made into straw pellet fuel, replace coal, is a new type of environmentally friendly equipment, the processed pellets can be used in industrial boilers, biomass power plants, public baths, home heating, etc. It can also be pressed into animal feed pellets for feeding cattle and sheep.

Wheat straw pellets are pencil-sized pellets with uniform size, shape, moisture, density and energy content. They are easier to handle and predictable. This high density and uniform shape can be stored in standard silos, shipped in train cars, and distributed in truck containers. Pellets do not present the risk of explosion or environmental pollution caused by leakage like non-renewable fossil fuels.

Environmental benefits
The harmful gas components produced during the combustion of wheat straw pellets are extremely low, which helps to reduce environmental pollution. The ash after combustion is a high-quality organic potash fertilizer with extremely high grade, which can be recycled again to create profits, while reducing the demand for chemical fertilizers.

Renewability
Wheat straw is an annually renewable resource, which is continuously produced through photosynthesis, avoiding the unsustainability of fossil energy.

Economic benefits
The production cost of wheat straw pellets is relatively low, and its calorific value is between 3500-4200 kcal/kg. Although it is lower than coal, its unit price is lower, and the comprehensive energy cost is more advantageous. After processing, the profit margin of pellet fuel can reach 20%-30%.

Replacement of traditional energy
Wheat straw pellets can be used for home heating, biomass boilers, industrial steam boilers, etc., which can effectively replace traditional fossil energy such as coal, reduce dependence on fossil fuels, and promote the transformation of clean energy.

Easy to transport and store
Wheat straw that has been pelletized is small in size and high in density, which is convenient for long-distance transportation and centralized storage, and is not easy to mold or absorb moisture, making it suitable for large-scale use.

1. Use a pulverizer or hammer crusher to crush the wheat straw into powder.

2. Dry the wheat straw powder. When producing wheat straw pellets, high-quality, dry, and clean materials are very important. The recommended moisture content of wheat straw is less than 14%.

3. Granulate with a wheat straw pellet machine.

4. If you don’t make many pellets each time, you can cool the pellets in the sun.

5. Store the pellets in containers/silos or pack them into bags for future use.
