60 TPH Pellet Plantwith three 20 tph (nominal) pellet lines
Each plant consists of 20 TPH rated lines.
Each line is in effect a plant module.
For plants larger than 20 TPH, additional lines are For instance, a 60 TPH plant consists of [3] 20 TPH
Each plant consists of 20 TPH rated lines.
Each line is in effect a plant module.
For plants larger than 20 TPH, additional lines are For instance, a 60 TPH plant consists of [3] 20 TPH
The modular design with replicated parallel lines results in there being veryfew points in the process where any equipment failure can shut the entireplant down. In most other plants, a dryer outage would mean a totalplant shutdown. In a 60 TPH Astec plant, a dryer outage means the plantcontinues to operate at 40 TPH. In fact, there are very few reasons why theplant would ever be completely shut down. Even major maintenance cyclesmay be performed line-by-line while the plant continues to operate on theother lines. Redundant design reduces down time.

QUICK START-UP
The Astec suspension wood dust burners allow quickplant startups and shutdowns. Unlike traditional burnersystems that typically take all day or more to get up tospeed, Astec plant startups can go from dead cold toproducing pellets within as little as two to three hours.
The Astec burner system is a multi-fuel burner that may befueled by wood dust simultaneously with natural gas, oil,or liquified petroleum gas (LPG).

ASTEC pellet plants are relativ elyquick and easy to set up andstart up due to ASTECs modulardesign concept. Most major plantcomponents are preassembled inour shops and shipped to your siteready to lift from the truck and setdirectly into operating position onan asphalt or concrete pad.
INNOVATIVE MODULAR DESIGN
SUPERIOR DRYING AND EMISSIONS
The Astec pellet plants superior drying and emissionscontrols technologies enhance safety, performanceand produce less emissions.
We do not use traditional air-swept rotary dryers w ithinherent direct hot gas exposure to highly flammable
wood dust and chips. All of the off-gases from thedrying process are conveyed to the combustionchamber of the hot oil heater where any volatileorganic compounds (VOCs) and fugitive wood dustare consumed, not released. This means that even verybig Astec pellet plants may be operated without RTOs.
SUPERIOR SAFETY
We use rotary hot oil tube dryers. Drying by thismethod keeps the drying chips in an almost oxygen-free environment. Very little oxygen means very littlechance of fire or explosion.
