A Wood Log Sawdust Machine is a high-performance industrial tool used to convert raw biomass materials into fine sawdust or powder. This sawdust is widely used in pellet production, briquetting, biochar manufacturing, and energy generation. It plays a vital role in sustainable biomass utilization and is a key component in biomass processing lines.
The machine follows a four-step process:
Feeding
Raw materials like wood logs, crop residues, or agro-waste are fed into the machine via a hopper or conveyor system.
Crushing / Grinding
Inside the chamber, high-speed rotating blades, cutters, or hammers break down the biomass into small particles.
Screening
The ground material passes through a screen mesh that ensures only uniform-sized particles are discharged. Mesh sizes can vary based on application (typically 3–8 mm).
Discharge
Finished sawdust is expelled through an outlet using a blower or gravity chute, ready for the next stage of processing.
The machine can process a wide range of agro and forestry waste, including:
Wood logs, slabs, and offcuts
Tree branches and twigs
Coconut shells
Bamboo
Sugarcane bagasse
Corn stalks & maize cobs
Paddy straw & wheat husks
Cotton stalks
Palm fiber
Coffee husk & groundnut shell
Form: Fine sawdust or powder
Particle Size: 3–8 mm (adjustable via screen)
Output Capacity: 500 kg/h to 5 tons/h (depending on machine size and motor power)
Moisture Tolerance: Ideally 10–25% (for best performance)
Output can be directly used or further processed into:
Biomass pellets
Briquettes
Biochar
Organic compost
MDF/particle boards
Boiler fuel

It’s an industrial machine designed to reduce the moisture content of raw biomass materials like sawdust, wood chips, rice husk, and bagasse. This drying process is crucial for efficient pelletizing, briquetting, or direct combustion.
Moisture affects fuel efficiency, pellet durability, and machine performance. Ideally, biomass should have ≤ 12% moisture before pelletizing. Fabon’s dryer ensures uniform drying to meet these standards.
Fabon Engineering manufactures:
Rotary Drum Dryers (for large, continuous operations)
Flash Dryers (for fine materials like sawdust and powder biomass)
Custom-built dryers for hybrid or high-moisture biomass
The dryer is suitable for:
Sawdust
Wood chips
Sugarcane bagasse
Rice husk
Coconut shells
Groundnut shells
Corn stalk
Agricultural waste
Fabon can customize drying systems for specific material types and moisture levels.
| Model | Capacity (TPH) | Moisture In | Moisture Out |
|---|---|---|---|
| FD-1T | 1 TPH | ≤ 50% | ≤ 12% |
| FD-2T | 2 TPH | ≤ 50% | ≤ 10% |
| FD-3T+ | 3–5 TPH | ≤ 60% | ≤ 10% |
Larger capacities and custom solutions are available on request.
Fabon offers multiple fuel options based on client needs:
Biomass-fired furnace (most popular)
Diesel-fired burner
Gas-fired system
Electric heaters (for small-scale setups)
Yes. Fabon designs its dryers to integrate seamlessly with its biomass pellet and briquette production lines. They can also be adapted to third-party equipment.
No. Fabon’s dryer systems can be equipped with:
