PCM - Model MPA1000 -Mobile Pellet Plant

Biomass pellets for alternative energy supply

Fuel pellets can be produced from a wide variety of biomass. A limiting factor here is the economic efficiency, as the biomass pellet competes with the wood chips or the wood pellet. Straw, miscanthus and biogenic waste materials, e.g. from landscape conservation, are the most frequently used biomass here. For the combustion of the pellets there are numerous compact heating systems that can be operated with different biomass.

Bedding pellets:

Extremely absorbent, odourless and without chemical additives. Pellets are dust free and therefore also suitable for sensitive or sick animals and due to the high pressing temperature free of bacteria and fungi. Easy handling, simple disposal as compost or fertilizer or substrate for biogas plants, no disposal costs.

Feed pellets:

The farmer can produce high-quality, storable animal feed by pelletizing his own raw materials. The MPA 1000 can mix a wide variety of raw materials such as hay, straw, alfalfa, cereals and then process them into a special feed pellet.

Biomass pellets from waste products:

Many harvesting and processing processes generate waste that has not been further processed for various reasons. Pellets can be produced from husks, peel bran, grain plaster, fermentation residues, horse manure or chicken manure, which can be used as fertilizer or fuel.

• Container dimensions comply with ISO standard
• Transportation possible on any container chassis

• Fully automatic handling of the whole plant by means of a Siemens Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)
• Permanent supervision of temperatures, fill heights, power consumption, etc.
• Touch-screen display showing the operating states
• Remote maintenance of the plant at any place
• Fabrication of pellets out of almost every sort of stalk material
• Any desired mixture possible
• Autarchic by use of a powerful diesel generator
• 200 kW, 325 kVA, 360 kWA waste heat*
• Variable fineness of grinding, sizes and hardness
• The whole plant is made in Germany

* waste heat usable via heat exchanger (MPA 1000+)

Advantages of stalks

• No or only minor changes to the landscape pictures
• machines for the salvage of stalks are ubiquitous
• stalks are available every year
• Straw in particular is only a by-product of harvesting
• Sustainability and economic efficiency are supported

Advantages of compacting

• Compaction from bale to pellet about 1:5
• less transport effort
• significantly reduced transport costs
• less space required for storage
• low residual moisture
• higher energy density
• significantly higher suction power of up to 400
• abacterial, hygienic pellets (approx. 100 °C pressing temperature)

Advantages of mobility

• easy transport of the system without major conversion work
• pick-up via standard chassis, transport via truck or dolly axle and tractor
• flexible location due to compact container design
• independent of regional raw material prices
• the system can be used both decentralized and stationary

Dimensions:

• 45‘ freight container
• 13,7m (length) x 2,43m (wide) x 2,90M (height)
• Entire system installed in an ISO container

Weight:
ca. 25 Tonnen

Diesel generator:
Diesel aggregate Volvo 9,2l engine completely encapsulated (73 dBA)
260kW, 352 HP for large power reserves

Performance data:

• approx. 1000 kg pellets per hour *
• 600 bar pressing pressure
• approx. 90°C pressing temperature ensure sterile and absolutely hygienic pellets
• Pellet discharge via conveyor belt into big bags, sacks or trailers
• Cooling and dedusting of the pellets
• Filling with all types of containers (round bales, square bales, loose material)
• Pellet sizes: 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm
• Fully automatic operation via computer control
• depending on starting material and pellet diameter

With our mobile pelleting systems MPA1000 you can process your biomass into high-quality pellets. Whether you have straw or hay in the form of round bales, square bales or loose, or you want to mix different raw materials, this pelleting plant processes your biomass into pellets. 

The system operates completely independently – it is equipped both with a powerful diesel engine and with a connection for operation on a powerful power grid.

We bring the pelleting plant to your yard. You will be trained by our technicians during the operation of the plant and instructed in the processes. After this training, you operate the mobile pelleting plant yourself. The MPA1000 can produce 1000-1600kg per hour of high-quality pellets, depending on the type of biomass. The raw material must not exceed a relative humidity of 15%. 

How to rent a mobile pelleting plant MPA1000 from PCM-Green Energy:

We always provide a new, maintained, cleaned and well-equipped plant. The rental price includes all wearing parts and spare parts as well as machine insurance.

Procedure:

• The MPA 1000 is transported by freight forwarder to the agreed location
• The plant is approx. 15m long and 25 tons heavy and must be set up on a well fastened and even underground.
• If the system is well placed, our technician will carry out a safety and operating instruction for your personnel.
• After the plant has started the pelletizing starts, our technician will familiarize you with the plant during the next 2-3 days and train you in pelletizing.
• For support, we provide a manual with operating instructions and tips on how to proceed optimally. In addition, you can familiarize yourself with the system in a video tutorial.
• They then operate the plant themselves and pelletize their own raw materials.
• Our technicians are of course also available for your questions later on
• All our mobile pelleting plants are connected to us via internet, so we can help you with problems “in real time
• Pelleting is invoiced by a combination of the daily rental price and the operating hours worked
• To load the system with the material you need a tractor with front loader, forklift or telescopic loader. The plant is 4m high and is loaded from above through the roof
• It is advantageous if the loading area is covered
