SYSTEM FOR STORING, DRYING AND PREPARING WOOD CHIPS

This system is perfect for feeding the right chips into gasification systems for producing heat and electric energy, systems for production of thermal heat only (woodchip boilers), and systems for pellet production.

ESSENTIAL FOR CONTINUAL AND RELIABLE OPERATION COGENERATION SYSTEMS AND PELLET PRODUCTION PLANTS 

System for storing, drying and preparing wood chips Pezzolato EPG 50.

The PEZZOLATO EPG series pretreatment module is extremely compact and modulable; its dimensions are so small that the module may be containerized and placed outside farm or industrial buildings.High moisture content chips are loaded into the storage tank, which is available in two sizes to best suit customer requirements. During each treatment cycle, the required volume of chips is automatically drawn from the storage tank into the drying area.

The heat for the drying process utilises the excess heat that has already been produced by the gassification process. The before and after moisture content of the chips is determined electronically by a software device within the computer. This allows the minimum input of heat energy necessary for the drying process, maintaining high efficiency.

The dried chips are then augured to the air proof sieve for the separation of dust and fines from the more regular sized chips. Following these processes the ideal chips in terms of moisture content and particle size are then conveyed to feed the co-generation unit, in order to most efficiently create heat and electricity. The remaining dried and sieved particles have been collected in a bagging system, and are perfectly suitable for pellet production or for the feeding of chips heaters for domestic use.

PEZZOLATO EPG MODELS ARE EQUIPPED WITH A SIEVING SYSTEM FOR SEPARATION OF DUST AND FINES THAT ALLOWS TO OBTAIN DIFFERENT WOOD CHIPS SIZES ACCORDING TO COMMERCIAL PURPOSES AND CUSTOMER NEEDS.
