The problems faced in the development of pellet press

Biomass energy is the world’s fourth largest energy source after coal, oil, and natural gas. Earth’s annual photosynthesis yields 173 billion tons of material, which is equivalent to 10-20 times the total energy consumption of the world. However, the current utilization rate is less than 3%. In the world energy consumption, biomass energy accounts for 14% of the total energy consumption, of which more than 35% are in developing countries.

The status of biomass particle machine industry

The biomass fuel produced by the biomass pellet press is a new type of environmentally friendly fuel. The fuel has the following advantages: high calorific value, super energy-saving, low carbon, environmental protection, no smoke and residue. Biomass pellets as a kind of The unique advantages of the new type of granular fuel have won wide recognition. Compared with traditional fuels, it not only has economic benefits but also has environmental advantages, and it fully meets the requirements of sustainable development.

Biomass pellet press and biomass complete sets of equipment are costly, costing about 100,000 yuan per unit. Large-scale production requires the company to use more operating funds. New companies must have a certain amount of capital to ensure the normal operation of production. The demand for liquidity is even more pronounced. There is a higher funding problem for new companies.

The problems faced by the biomass pellet machine industry:

Funding problem

Biomass presses and biomass complete sets of equipment are costly, costing about 100,000 yuan per unit. Large-scale production requires the company to use more operating funds. New companies must have a certain amount of capital to ensure the normal operation of production. The demand for liquidity is even more pronounced.

The company needs biomass press to operate for a long time, stably and efficiently, with high requirements for product accuracy, stability, and reliability, while the precision of the biomass pellet press parts is an important factor affecting product quality. Non-standard parts and components are required to be produced, and the industry generally adopts external processing methods to obtain parts and components. In consideration of factors such as the accuracy of parts processing and technical confidentiality, the core parts suppliers and existing large companies in the industry Established a long-term and stable cooperative relationship.

Scale effect

The cost of components and parts is an important component of the production cost of biomass pellet machines. It mainly includes raw material purchase costs and raw material processing fees. Companies with large-scale production usually have strong bargaining power in cooperation with upstream suppliers, and can significantly reduce raw materials. Procurement fees and raw material processing fees increase the cost advantage of the products. In addition, the company's business activities of large-scale production are relatively stable. It can ensure that R&D and technological innovation continue to continue and maintain the technological superiority of the products.

Talent issues

Only after long-term training can the company have a group of skilled production personnel and qualified professional and technical personnel. High-level industrial talents and skilled maintenance personnel with high technological research and development capabilities and technological skills are effective in product quality control and after-sales service. The key to effective implementation is that there are certain talent issues in the industry.

The brand is a comprehensive embodiment of the company's sales, product quality, maintenance technology, management services and market networks. For the downstream wood chip company, the purchase of wood pellets is a large-scale investment, and the brand is an important factor affecting the choice of downstream customers. The computerized biomass particle machine belongs to advanced equipment with high technical density. The operation and use require continuous technical training. However, there are certain differences in the operation and maintenance of different brands of biomass particle machines, which makes the biomass particle machine brand There is a certain replacement cost for the replacement of the use, the customer is more sticky to the brand, the old customers will not easily buy products from the newly entered company.

Technical problem

The biomass particle machine industry is a multidisciplinary industry integrating mechanical design and processing, wood chip technology research, electronic control system manufacturing, and software development. The technical problems are obvious. Especially in recent years, the industry has continuously drawn the latest achievements in technology from the world, and technology The level of rapid development, technology-intensive features are more significant. At present, many key technologies in the industry have been mastered by major companies at home and abroad and set up technical issues in the form of patents.
