Biomass Pellet Burner
Industrial-Grade Biomass Combustion Equipment for Drying & Heating
Biomass Pellet Burner Overview
Our Biomass Pellet Burner (also called Biomass Pellet Combustor or Biomass Pellet Furnace) is a high-performance combustion device designed to convert biomass pellets (sawdust, rice husk, wood chip pellets) into clean, high-temperature heat. As a core Industrial Biomass Pellet Burner, it replaces traditional fossil fuel burners (diesel, natural gas) to solve “high energy costs” and “pollution” issues—boasting a combustion efficiency of ≥93% and fuel cost savings of 30–50%. It serves as a reliable heat source for industrial drying and heating systems, widely used in biomass plants, chemical factories, and agricultural processing facilities.

Core Components of Biomass Pellet Burner
The stable, efficient combustion performance relies on 6 specialized components, optimized for automated industrial operation:
A speed-adjustable screw conveyor (15–450 kg/h) ensures precise fuel supply. Equipped with a jam-detection sensor, it stops feeding if pellets block the pipe—critical for Automatic Biomass Pellet Burner operation in 24/7 drying lines.
Made of 310S stainless steel (resistant to 1300℃) with a high-alumina refractory lining. Its “vortex combustion” design (tangential air intake) extends fuel residence time, ensuring complete combustion (unburned residues ≤2%)—key to high-efficiency performance.
- Direct Flue Gas Module: For Biomass Pellet Burner for Rotary Drum Dryer—delivers 300–600℃ flue gas directly into the drum, maximizing heat transfer for bulk materials.
- Clean Hot Air Module: For Biomass Pellet Burner for Flash Dryer—uses a finned-tube heat exchanger to produce dust-free hot air (120–350℃), avoiding powder contamination.
A PLC panel with built-in temperature sensors (connected to dryers) maintains stable output. If the dryer’s temperature deviates from the set value (e.g., 250℃ ±5℃), the system adjusts fuel supply and air intake—ensuring Thermostatic Biomass Pellet Burner performance.
Includes flame-out alarm (UV sensor), over-temperature shutdown, and fuel shortage alert. If the flame extinguishes, it cuts off fuel supply within 2 seconds to prevent unburned pellets from blocking the chamber.
A cyclone dust collector + ceramic filter (optional) removes 98% of dust, meeting low-emission standards. For odor-sensitive areas, an activated carbon filter reduces volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from biomass combustion.
Working Principle of Biomass Pellet Burner
This Biomass Pellet Furnace supplies continuous heat to drying systems via a 3-step automated process:
- Fuel Preparation: Biomass pellets (φ6–12mm, moisture ≤15%) are stored in a hopper; impurities (stones, metal) are removed to protect the feeder.
- Startup & Ignition: Operator sets target temperature (e.g., 200℃ for Flash Dryer) via PLC. The burner activates: ignition rod heats to 1500℃, feeder delivers a small amount of pellets into the combustion chamber.
- Vortex Combustion: UV sensor confirms ignition; feeder increases pellet supply, and combustion fan adjusts air intake (air-fuel ratio 11:1). Pellets burn in a rotating flame, generating 800–1300℃ flue gas.
Why Choose Our Biomass Pellet Burner?
As an Energy Saving Biomass Pellet Combustor, it achieves ≥93% combustion efficiency (vs. 70–80% for traditional burners). A 500,000 kcal/h model uses 75kg/h biomass pellets ($0.1/kg) vs. 50L/h diesel ($0.25/L)—saving $5.75/h or $46,000/year (8h/day, 300 days/year).
The Automatic Biomass Pellet Burner with PLC control eliminates manual ignition/feeding. Thermostatic regulation ensures heat output stability (±3%), avoiding “over-drying” or “under-drying” and improving drying quality consistency by 15–20%.
It retrofits easily to existing dryers with simple pipe modifications—ideal for rotary drum dryers (bulk materials) and flash dryers (heat-sensitive powders), as well as hot air furnaces for multi-scene heating.
Large-capacity models (1,000,000–3,000,000 kcal/h) support high-output drying lines (50+ tons/day). Modular design allows combining multiple burners for even larger heat demand (e.g., two 1.5 million kcal/h units for a 100-ton/day dryer).
Main Application Scenarios
1. Biomass Processing Lines
Powers rotary drum dryers to dry sawdust (moisture 40–60% → 8–12%) before pelletizing. A 1 million kcal/h burner supports a 40-ton/day dryer, producing biomass pellets for industrial boilers.
2. Powder Drying Systems
Supplies clean hot air (200℃) to flash dryers, drying chemical powders (moisture 30–50% → 5–8%). The heat exchanger ensures no contamination, meeting food/chemical safety standards.
3. Sludge Treatment Plants
Provides heat for sludge drum dryers (moisture 70–80% → 10–15%). Dried sludge is incinerated or landfilled, reducing volume by 70%.
3. Agricultural Drying
Connects to hot air furnaces, drying grains, fruits, and vegetables (e.g., drying corn from 25% moisture → 13% for storage).

FAQ for Biomass Pellet Burner
A Biomass Pellet Burner focuses on generating high-temperature flue gas (800–1300℃) and must pair with external heat-transfer equipment (dryers, boilers). A biomass stove integrates “combustion + heat exchange” to directly output hot air/water—burners suit retrofitting existing systems, while stoves fit new production lines.
Standard pellets: diameter 6–12mm, length 5–30mm, moisture ≤15%. Self-processed wood chips are usable if particle size ≤20mm and free of large impurities (add pre-screening if needed).
Drying machines (rotary drum/flash dryers) and heat exchangers (hot air furnaces/steam boilers) for industrial drying and workshop heating.
Fuel costs are 40–50% lower than natural gas/diesel. A 100,000 kcal/h burner saves $5,000–$12,000 annually.
Fully automatic—set target temperature via PLC for auto-ignition/feeding/adjustment. Daily tasks (refueling, ash cleaning) take 1 person 10–15 minutes.
Small burners (≤300,000 kcal/h): refuel every 4–8 hours; large burners (≥500,000 kcal/h): 12–24 hours of continuous operation. Customizable hoppers or automatic feeders support unmanned operation.
No—vortex combustion + secondary air ensures full combustion. With cyclone + bag filter, emissions meet global standards, no additional equipment needed for EIA approval.
Jamming (clean feeder + pre-screening), flameout (reset air-fuel ratio via PLC), temperature fluctuation (refuel/calibrate sensors). Annual faults are usually ≤2 times with regular maintenance.
Buyer's Guide
How to Buy the Best Biomass Pellet Burner?
Select models for 6–12mm pellets (moisture ≤15%). For wood chips, choose “large-diameter feeder + pre-disperser”. Match heat output type: flue gas (rotary drum dryers) or clean hot air (flash dryers).
Required heat load = supporting equipment’s total heat load × 1.1–1.15 (10–15% fluctuation margin). Request actual heat output data (not theoretical values) to avoid underpowering.
Choose models with ≥93% combustion efficiency, “vortex combustion + secondary air”, and energy-saving features (variable frequency fans, heat recovery for large models).
Ensure compatibility with cyclone/bag filters (dust ≤30mg/m³). For strict regions (EU/China first-tier cities), select models with electrostatic precipitator/activated carbon interfaces—request emission test reports.
Prioritize 5 safety features (flameout/over-temperature protection, fuel shortage alert, leak protection, explosion-proof valves) and PLC control (one-button start/stop, real-time monitoring).
Request 3+ industry case studies and operation videos. Confirm core components (combustion chamber, PLC) have a 2-year warranty, ≤24-hour after-sales response, and on-site installation/commissioning.
