A system and a method for producing pellets from biomass in a pellet press for use as fuel in fireplaces. To produce pellets in an energy-saving and more energetically cost-effective manner as compared to prior art. In the method according to one embodiment, the biomass, which comprises cellulosic and/or lignocellulosic fibers, chips or shreds and is heated and dried in the course of the production process in a dryer, separated from the dryer air, and the biomass is supplied to a pellet press, wherein the temperature of the biomass is heated or substantially maintained by hot air in a treatment region between the dryer and the pellet press, and the treatment region comprises at least parts of the transport path and/or at least one additional device for carrying out at least one additional method stop, and wherein the temperature of the hot air exceeds at least 65° Celsius.
A method for producing pellets from biomass in a pelletizing press for use as a fuel in fireplaces, the biomass comprising fibers, chips, or shreds, which contain cellulose and/or lignocellulose, the biomass being heated and dried in the course of the production in a dryer, the dried and heated biomass being separated from the dryer air, and the biomass being supplied to a pelletizing press,
A facility for producing pallets from biomass in a pelletizing press for use as a fuel in fireplaces, the biomass comprising fibers, chips, or shreds, which contain cellulose and/or lignocellulose, a dryer having an airlock for separating the drier air being arranged before the pelletizing press in the production direction for drying and heating the biomass, wherein, in the facility, at least one treatment area is arranged between the airlock and the pelletizing press and at least one transport means for transporting the biomass between the dryer and the pelletizing press and/or at least one device for performing at least one further method step is arranged in this treatment area, at least one heating device for heating and/or providing hot air of substantially greater than 65° C. is arranged associated with the treatment area, the heating device being operationally linked at least once with the transport means and/or with a device for performing further method steps to supply the hot air.
