Canfor opens two wood pellet plants in British Columbia



Wood processing specialist Canfor has opened two new wood pellet plants worth C$58 million (€40.3m) in Canada’s British Columbia.

The two plants, located at Fort St. John and Chetwynd, were built at Canfor's existing sawmills and have a combined annual production capacity of 175,000 tonnes of wood pellets, Prince George Citizen reports.

The Chetwynd plant began operations late last year, while the Fort St. John plant reached full operations earlier this year.

"[The plants] play an important role in maximising the value of our fibre with their production of sustainable wood pellets from once waste-bound sawmill residues," Canfor CEO Don Kayne said in a statement.

Kayne says the installation of an organic rankine cycle (ORC), which functions as a power plant, has made the Chetwynd pellet plant self-sufficient in renewable heat and electricity.

The ORC converts 20% of the heat generated by the plant's energy system into electricity, up to 21,000MWh a year or enough to power 1,470 homes.

The remaining 80% of the heat is used to dry sawdust into pellets.

Structure and working principle of YONGLI pellet mill

YONGLI ring die pellet mill is mainly composed of feeding, conditioning, granulation, transmission and lubrication system etc. Its working process requires the powder water content is not more than 15%. Powder from the hopper into the feeding auger, by adjusting the infinitely speed motor speed to obtain appropriate material flow, and then enter the conditioner, and through further stirring rod stirred and mixed with steam quenching and tempering. If you need to add molasses or grease, from conditioner joined together with steam conditioning, adding amount of fat is generally not more than 3%, otherwise difficult to shape). After quenching and tempering, the temperature of the powder mixture can reach 64 to 85 degrees C and the humidity is 14 to L 6%. And then through the chute through suction device of iron powder to remove iron impurities mixed in, and finally into the press room. Ring die pelletizer suppress room main working parts by ring mode, two roller, feeding blade, cut knife ...
