Chinese Pellet Machine Manufacturers by Capacity: 1–2, 2–5 and 5–20 t/h
Kingwood · September 9, 2026
This guide is written by Kingwood, a manufacturer selling equipment in this market. It is a selected procurement comparison, not an independent ranking of every Chinese manufacturer. Published ratings are supplier information, not results from a common feedstock test.
Start with the output you actually need
Define whether the requirement means finished pellets leaving the plant or material entering one machine. State feedstock, incoming moisture, pellet dimensions, required operating hours and acceptance conditions. A wet-feed project also needs a mass balance and drying specification; the complete process cannot be selected from pellet mill output alone.
| Project tier | Starting point for a Kingwood enquiry | What to verify |
|---|---|---|
| 1–2 t/h | Ask about the smaller ring die range | The upper end of this tier is not covered automatically by the smallest model rating |
| 2–5 t/h | Compare a model-specific proposal within the ring die range | Continuous duty under your feedstock conditions, not the tier label |
| 5–20 t/h | Request a complete-line engineering proposal | Machine arrangement, upstream and downstream capacity, installation and acceptance scope |
Kingwood model ratings: single machines
The following are Kingwood’s published model capacities in t/h. They are single-machine ratings, not guarantees for a complete plant. Confirm the material and operating conditions in the quotation.
| Model | Published capacity, t/h |
|---|---|
| JWZL-420 | 1-1.5 |
| JWZL-688 | 2-2.3 |
| JWZL-688D | 3-3.5 |
| JZWH-860 | 4-5 |
| JWZL-928 | 4-5 |
| JWZL-1068 | Contact sales |
A buyer needing the upper end of a tier should not select a smaller machine solely because its nameplate range overlaps the tier. A larger project requires an engineered line proposal rather than multiplication of catalogue capacities. The unrated model above remains an enquiry item; no capacity has been inferred for it.
Comparing Chinese suppliers
Kingwood: the model table above provides a starting point for an enquiry. Kingwood also offers EPC turnkey contracting and manufactures auxiliary equipment including hammer mills, drum chippers, drum dryers, counter-flow coolers and packaging machines. Review the complete-line supply scope and request a responsibility matrix for your project.
Yulong: Shandong Yulong’s own website lists pellet machines and complete biomass pellet lines. Its XGJ560 product listing identifies the model and biomass feedstocks. Obtain the current configuration and a written throughput basis directly from the supplier. This guide does not assign that listing a capacity band from a different reseller’s table. See Yulong’s manufacturer catalogue for its stated equipment and line scope.
A comparable offer should include the same material specification, output acceptance test, wear-parts scope and installation boundary. No fixed price advantage, energy saving or die-life superiority is claimed between the two suppliers here.
International alternatives for the same enquiry
Andritz’s biomass pellet mill range and CPM’s biomass equipment portfolio are additional sources for a project enquiry. They are international alternatives, not entries in the Chinese manufacturer shortlist. Their portfolio pages are not a common-condition comparison with the Kingwood ratings above; request a duty-specific proposal before comparing capacity or operating cost.
From a machine shortlist to a turnkey contract
Ask each bidder to separate equipment, site works, commissioning, training, wear parts and continuing service. Confirm what is included and who is responsible for interfaces. Reference projects should match the material and process scope, not only the headline tonnage.
For regional project records, see Kingwood’s Vietnam and Thailand supplier page and Indonesia and Malaysia supplier page. Project capacity is a line-level fact and must not be used as a single-machine rating.
For a quotation, send the feedstock specification, target finished-pellet duty, available utilities and site layout through the project enquiry form. Ask for the proposed model list, scope exclusions and acceptance criteria before comparing headline prices.
FAQ
Which Chinese manufacturers should I compare for a biomass pellet project?
Kingwood and Yulong are the Chinese manufacturers discussed in this guide. This is a selected comparison, not an exhaustive list or an independent ranking. Ask each supplier for a reference using your feedstock and a quotation defining the complete scope.
How should I select a ring die mill for a 2–3 t/h requirement?
Agree the required continuous output and material conditions first. A model whose quoted range ends below your required duty should not be treated as sufficient merely because it belongs to the same broad capacity tier. Request a model-specific guarantee and acceptance method.
Does a 5–20 t/h plant require one large pellet mill?
Not necessarily. Evaluate a complete-line proposal with the appropriate machine arrangement. Grinding, drying, cooling and handling duties must be coordinated; summing mill ratings alone does not prove net plant output.
