Is Wood Pellet Business Profitable?
The wood pellet business is certainly profitable. Calculated based on a ring die pellet machine with a production capacity of 1 ton per hour, the annual profit is about 150,000 US dollars, so the wood pellet business is very promising.
In recent years, with the development of the waste resource recycling industry, wood pellets have been widely used as fuel worldwide, and the demand for wood pellets is expected to increase further in the next few years.
The main production costs include raw materials, labor, electricity costs, and sites. Sawdust, straw, forest residues, wood chips, etc. are the main raw materials for making wood pellets. The cost of one ton is about 30.8-92.3 US dollars. We take the average value and calculate the raw material cost as 61.5 US dollars per ton. Electricity and labor costs vary according to different countries and regions. You can calculate according to the specific situation.
The price of one ton of wood pellets is about 110-180 US dollars. We also take the middle value and calculate the selling price as 145 US dollars per ton.
So how much money can a biomass pellet machine with a production capacity of 1-1.2 tons per hour make in a year? After calculation, we can get the following table:
Operating cost/day | |||||
Investment | Quantity | Value | Input costs | Total cost | |
1 | Raw material | 1T*8h=8T | 61.5 USD/T | 492 USD | 559 USD |
2 | Power | 90kwX0.7=63kwh | 0.15 USD/kWh | 9 USD | |
3 | Labor | 2 | 21 USD/day | 42 USD | |
4 | Space | 1 USD/day | 8 USD | 8 USD | |
5 | Parts loss | 1 USD*8=8 USD | 1 USD | 8 USD | |
Revenue/day | |||||
Output | Quantity | Value | Income | Profit | |
1 | Wood pellets | 1T*8h=8T | 145 USD/T | 1160 USD | 601 USD |
Annual profit = $601*250 days = $150,250
Therefore, a wood pellet machine can bring high returns. So where can we buy a wood pellet machine with good quality, high output and easy operation?
