Sawdust,Straw Pellet Machine Market Analysis

AGICO (Anyang General International Co., Ltd) is a company with years of sawdust pellet machine and straw pellet machine manufacture experience, both in the technological and manufacturing fields. Pellet machine including sawdust pellet making machine and straw pellet making machine technology has seen a rapid growth in recent years. After gathering data from recent surveys, we have found that there are some companies leading the way in advanced technology. Below, we have provided a list of most influential technology providers in the world:

Bühler, Germany
Buhler’s line uses steam and water to condition the cut straw and sawdust just before pellet machines – it helps to increase the lifetime of dies and rolls and also saves the energy. Moreover, the pellet machine plant in Co- penhagen uses a shredding device that is able to shred and cut the straw bales of every kind (round, small and big cube bales) and is not sensitive to the moisture content. Even when this crusher technology is rather expensive and energy intense, it still can be an important advantage to secure the planned production quantity of sawdust pellet machine or straw pellet machine.
Reference site: Buehler pelletizing technology was used in the largest straw pelletizing machine plant of Europe in Koge, Denmark. With an original capacity of 100.000 tons per year it currently produces 60.000 tons of straw pellets p.a. The plant partly uses technology from other suppliers. It had severe starting problems particularly in the transport of the material between the different steps of the straw pellet machine’s production process.

California Pelletizing Machines (CPM), California
This technology is widely used for wood pellet making machine in Central and Eastern Europe. The technology requires comparatively high operation costs.

GEMCO, China
This Chinese manufacturer has decade’s years of experience of pellet making machine research and manufacture, straw pellet machine and sawdust pellet machine included. They have their own patents of design and pelletizing devices, die and roller. Most of the small wood pellet machines available originate from GEMCO. These same machines are offered by a number of companies in China and marketed under different names by Western companies. Originally designed as small scale animal feed pellet machines, they have been successfully used for wood pelletizing. GEMCO offer complete systems including hammer mills and dryers.

Amandus Kahl Pelletising, Germany
Amandus Kahl is known as a very solid and high quality technology.

Reference site: One pelletizing plant in Poland in Grudziadz was equipped with Kahl technology. The plant started operation in September 08. At the time of this analysis, the pellet making machine plant was still in the start-up phase, in which the utilisation of low-quality raw materials resulted in low plant performance. As only this data was available, the Kahl technology was not further considered in this analysis. Today, after optimisation of the raw material management by the operator, the pellet making machine plant reaches the required capacity and product quality.

Andritz
Andritz does not have any reference sites of straw pellet machines and sawdust pellet machines. Right now they just starting with it – some investors are interested in creating one in England and the other one may rise in Poland – In Sępólno Krajeńskie the plant will be owned by Mr. Romuald Hałabuda – “Romico” company.

To be honest, if you are a wealthy family, then the German technology is no doubt the best choice. However, if you are looking to reduce your energy bill, then the price should be your top priority to consider. Since not all pellet making machines are created equally, you need to choose wisely. Pellet making machines such as straw pellet machine and sawdust pellet machines from China are priced lower than the others and have equal or better performance. Therefore, if you want a quality pellet making machine at a lower price, I would encourage you to buy from a Chinese manufacturer.
