Biomass Drying Plant designed and developed for a client in Argentina.

Lippel has 40 years of experience in the production of equipment for biomass processing with several international projects. We are currently building a new system for drying and grinding wood chips, which generates over 30% efficiency in burning waste in the boiler, turning it into a fuel based on solid waste with high calorific value, adding industrial value and promoting environmental preservation. This is the second plant designed and developed specifically for the same client, which confirms the trust in the brand, quality of equipment, and consolidated partnership! This drying plant destined for Argentina will be composed of a complete line of Lippel equipment: - Dryer - Screw conveyor - Rotary valves - Furnace - Hammer mill - Drying silo In this project, Lippel applied a complete drying system: screws, conveyor belts, and bucket elevators, a biomass movement system between specific locations, providing agility in waste transportation. Screw hoppers play the role of receiving waste for feeding dryers and furnaces. The dryers are designed to reduce biomass moisture by approximately 50%, providing ideal conditions for direct burning, high-quality briquetting, or pelletizing. The performance of the furnaces generating hot gases for the drying process makes the process economical. The presence of a cyclone filter in the drying process separates gases from particles, eliminating particles (soot) generated in the process, complying with environmental standards. To enhance the performance of the dryer and cyclone filter, rotary valves are installed to maintain isolated waste feeding, ensuring process efficiency. The hammer mill reduces the particle size of waste, creating optimal conditions for briquetting and pelletizing to guarantee the quality of the final product. This need led Lippel to develop hammer mills applied to fine or coarse grinding requirements, equipment with over 3 decades of development and experience. A storage silo is installed to stockpile waste and ensure the complete system's supply for a longer period. Additionally, a silo unloader or screw extractor is included in this project for automated biomass extraction from the storage silo, a robust, high-performance, and durable equipment ensuring process agility.
