Being a leader of biomass pellet mill manufacturer, our company is reported by an internationally renowned magazine. The details are as follows:
Anyang General International (AGICO), based in Henan, seeks to make biomass pellet mills to make biomass pellets a feasible energy solution for a wider range of consumers worldwide. It does so with a two-pronged approach based on the small and large mill competencies of the two different manufacturing facilities within AGICO. The advantages of the group begin, as with all complete pellet production lines, at the initial size reduction phase with the hammer mill. The GEMCO, as facility of biomass pellet mill industry has developed a special hammer mill that combines the functions of a chipper and pulveriser, thereby increasing efficiency by 30% over traditional models. The machine can handle incoming biomass with diameters of up to 200mm. The AKG plant builds upon this technology for its own hammer mill with a higher rate of output necessary for large-scale biomass pellet production. After processing at these machines, the feedstock is then ready for the essence of the pellet process: the biomass pellet mill. This apparatus breaks down to a set of two rollers, turned by the force of a diesel engine or electric motor, that pushes the raw material through holes in a metal disk - the die. These pieces are the most expensive and experience the greatest wear. For this reason, AGICO-made dies, rollers and other moving parts are made of steel alloyed with chromium, manganese and titanium, and are heat treated for durability.
As a result, AGICO-made dies last three to five times longer than dies in other brand's biomass pellet mill. An additional cost-saving measure with AGICO's small, flat-die biomass pellet mill is that the dies are reversible; thereby further extending its usable life. The interior of the die holes are polished to eliminate tramp metal to prevent blockage, breaks and fines. In all mills, corrugated rollers are utilized - modified, close-ended ones in the large-sized AKG ring die biomass pellet mills - which is superior in the prevention of slippage. Other features of AGICO's machinery include thick cast iron for parts, which must endure the high pressures required for biomass pellets. GEMCO's smaller biomass pellet mills employ specially crafted gears to transfer force perpendicularly from the motor, the ratio of which is considered proprietary information. The large biomass pellet mills of AKG are equipped with devices to sequester VOCs emitted during the raw material drying process. Similar units are emplaced for dust collection, as are reinforced seals, to ensure worker safety.
With the international market in mind, AGICO's machinery has obtained CE and ISO certification. The company can produce 2.5 tonnes of pellets an hour at a single mill. This pellet production is often transported to cogeneration plants, as well as to companies abroad.
