TECHNOLOGY
The particularity of the Proxipel technology lies in its ability to combine both mobility and drying of biomass. In addition to the assembly of the various usual elements of a pellet production line, we have specifically developed certain components in-house, in particular for everything relating to the drying of biomass.
MANY ELEMENTS CAN BE ADAPTED TO THE NEEDS OF THE USERS
Unit can be separated into two trailers for hard-to-reach areas, crusher allowing for larger diameters, assembly of the unit on a boat (for treatment of algae or reeds), etc.
ENERGY SELF-SUFFICIENCY
The dryer is self-sufficient. Depending on the moisture content of the incoming biomass, up to 10% of the pellets produced are burned in a burner that feeds the dryer allowing the humidity of the biomass to be reduced to 13%. The residual heat of the generator is recovered to preheat the dryer.
A diesel / biodiesel generator provides the electricity needed to operate the unit.
