Applications

Biomass Fuel and Energy

WeiDong grinders and chippers reduce forestry residue, bark, slabs, clean waste wood and straw into fuel for boilers, power plants and pellet mills. The WD3600 tub grinder handles bulky mixed feed at a typical 25–40 t/h; the WD1690 horizontal grinder gives a more controlled particle size from long wood.

What this application demands

  • Fuel-specification output

    The boiler or pellet plant sets particle size, fines, moisture and contamination limits; screen opening and rotor type are chosen to meet that acceptance rule.

  • Contamination control

    Soil, stone and metal raise wear and fire risk. Receiving inspection, quarantine areas and magnetic separation are planned with the grinder.

  • Continuous production

    Fixed fuel yards often run long shifts; electric skid-mount models (WDE3600M, WDE1690M) suit sites with grid power.

  • Cost per accepted tonne

    Compare fuel or electricity, wear parts, loader time and rejects per tonne of accepted fuel, not engine size or brochure capacity.

Biomass fuel is defined by its receiver. Start from the boiler or pellet plant acceptance specification, then choose the machine, rotor and screen that produce it reliably from the material you actually have.

Frequently asked questions

Which WeiDong machine is best for biomass fuel?

For bulky, mixed residue choose a 3600-series tub grinder; for long wood and whole trees where a tighter particle size matters choose a WD1690 horizontal grinder; for clean branches a WD1100 chipper produces chips. The final choice follows the fuel specification and a material review.

Can grinders produce pellet feedstock?

A grinder prepares the first-stage size reduction. Pellet mills usually need further drying and hammer-milling, so the grinder output size is set to suit that next step.
