Just sawdust, you say?! I will answer that this is the cheapest and most multifunctional material, which must certainly be used if there is a desire to earn money, but before that you will have to work a little. So, everything that can be made from sawdust with a minimal addition of some other raw material is described in this article with all the features, costs and methods of implementation.

Product number 1. Fuel pellets.
Notorious already fuel pellets. They are briquettes of overdried sawdust, which is molded into bricks and packed in 10-20 pieces per box. An excellent product instead of standard firewood: suitable for stoves, fireplaces and maintaining the temperature in steam rooms.

To create production, you need a piece of land, preferably away from settlements:
- the cost of the site is significantly cheaper;
- no complaints about noise and smell.
Of course, when choosing a site for production, it is necessary to be guided not only by the presence or absence of neighbors and the price of land. The miser pays twice, so you have to calculate:
- what time does the delivery of raw materials to the place of pellet production cost;
- whether there is electricity or not, because it will still be needed;
- fare;
- other expenses.

Equipment for the manufacture of pellets can be purchased ready-made. Its price in the collection is, depending on the capacity, from 1.5 to 4 million rubles. But if you think about it, everything is somewhat simpler:
1. The drying unit only looks so scary. In fact, this is an ordinary smokehouse, only it stands on fire, and inside the container there is sawdust and is “fried”, giving all the moisture out of itself. The main thing in the drying process is the constant mixing of sawdust for uniform drying. The kneading process is very simply modernized into mechanics: the container is fixed on 2 supports, and, with the help of an electric motor, rotates around a horizontal axis.

2. Briquetting takes place under an industrial press, and in the initial production, several home-made forms are enough (a wooden chute closed on four sides, according to the size of the briquette, where sawdust and a wooden lid are laid, which is superimposed on top and pressed down with something heavy.

3. Little tricks. On an industrial scale, a specialized press is used. And if, by chance, you don’t have a familiar director of the plant who will sell it at the price of scrap metal, then you shouldn’t bother. We will use grandfather's recipes:
- dilute any wood glue with warm water in proportions of 1 to 2, and then spray the sawdust put into the mold from the spray gun;
- the same principle, only natural resin is used instead of glue;
- all the same can be done with the help of a klester.

Product number 2. Production of opal concrete.
Opilo concrete - not great new idea, but quite effective, it is especially good for small construction projects in the form of baths, capital garages or attached to individual construction. What it is? This is a common cement-based building block, only sawdust is used instead of sand and gravel in the same proportion (for concrete grade M 150, cement is 1 part, sand is 3, and crushed stone is five; sawdust equivalent: cement is one part, and sawdust is 7-8 parts).

What is fundamentally new in it? Yes, many things, for example:
- with the same volume, a block of sawdust weighs 4-5 times less than concrete, while it has all the same strength characteristics;
- in places where a whole block is not needed, the concrete block will have to be broken, and the sawdust is cut with a simple hacksaw;
- the concrete block loses in thermal conductivity and thermal insulation;
- Unlike concrete, sawdust blocks are easy to drill, drill and cut.
The only tangible disadvantage of such a product is that it absorbs moisture well upon direct contact, therefore, as a building material, it needs sheathing.

Product number 3. Sawdust heater.
It has long been known that a layer of sawdust works like a thermos, so they began to use it as insulation for floors and attics, or as a backfill for dugout cellars. But in recent times Several methods have been invented to insulate walls by direct application.
Method 1
Conventional direct application, on walls previously smeared with wallpaper paste, using a roller or simply by sketching with your hands.

Method 2
Sawdust insulation sheets. They are made from dry sawdust of any size. This requires the same wallpaper glue, which is mixed in a container with sawdust at the rate of 1 bucket of glue for 5-6 buckets of sawdust. The resulting mixture is placed in a mold (it is enough to make it from a pair of plywood sheets), where it remains until the glue dries completely. There is one nuance or trick here: in order to remove the sawdust sheet from plywood, you must first coat it with vegetable or machine oil, and then carefully, with a knife, get the sheet out of the mold.
Method 3
Sandwiches made of any flexible material (maybe even fabric) with sawdust inserts. It is carried out very simply: The fabric is cut to the size of the future panel, then it is laid out on a flat surface and sawdust is poured on top, which must be leveled over the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe fabric. The second piece of fabric is superimposed on top and sewn to the bottom around the entire perimeter, leaving only one side. Beauty is useless, so the seam can be anything. The next step is shaping: once again smooth the fabric with sawdust and spray with hairspray. After waiting for the fixation of the fabric, add the missing amount of sawdust and sew the last edge.
Ready.

It is rather difficult to calculate the level of costs and payback periods of such projects due to the large price difference for raw materials. But the benefit of the enterprise is unequivocal, because, for comparison: 4 squares of an average insulation cost about 1000 rubles, and with sawdust it will take a maximum of 300, well, plus work.




Wood is used in many areas of activity. This construction, furniture, various business areas. But in the process of producing the necessary products, a lot of waste remains. Their processing is not only a matter of environmental friendliness of production, but also saving money and resources. Therefore, the wood waste business is a promising direction today.

Business Relevance

Despite the fact that the woodworking business, as well as the wood waste processing business, has been developed for a long time, the niche has not yet been filled. There are many ways to process sawdust, wood chips, bark, and more. Only 50% of the available material is used for processing, and even less in Siberia - 35%. At the same time, the remains of logging and sawmilling are not used at all. All this suggests that your business will always have raw materials for production.

At the same time, in the production of furniture, building materials, the amount of wood waste is about 45%. Moreover, not only sawdust, shavings, but also slabs, bark are used.

Place of business organization

Under a mini processing plant wood waste you need to rent or buy a room. Its area depends on which direction of processing you have chosen. This affects the type and dimensions of industrial installations.

But the most important thing is to choose the right location for production. It must be located near the place of supply of raw materials. It is advisable to equip the workshop directly at the woodworking enterprise.

Similarly, it is necessary to think over distribution channels in advance. They should also be located close to production, otherwise all profits will go to logistics costs. Also, you should not focus on the export of produced fuel to Europe. On the one hand, the demand for it in European countries very tall. But on the other hand, transport and customs costs will force you to set an exorbitantly high price for the goods. Not to mention the fact that a product for sale in Europe must pass a lot of checks to ensure that it meets all local regulations. The optimal distance for transporting goods from wood waste and making a good profit is no more than 100 km.

Types of wood waste

There are several types of wood waste. They can be divided by density:

  • lumpy (solid);
  • sawdust and shavings (soft);
  • bark.

They are also classified according to the method of obtaining:

  • primary or secondary wood processing;
  • the use of round timber;
  • deforestation.

The type of wood waste depends on the technology of their processing, the equipment that your business will require, markets, and so on.

Waste treatment process

Wood processing begins with sorting waste by wood species, cutting, steaming, removing rotten areas. Then the raw material is treated with salt solutions to remove possible harmful components that may have come from sewage or contaminated soil.

The next stage of processing is mechanical crushing on special machines with toothed discs. Before this stage, the wood is sometimes steamed to facilitate grinding.

Processing equipment

Depending on which direction of processing you have chosen, the market offers separate specific equipment. But there is a whole list of units that will be needed in any direction of activity. These include:

  • screw conveyor;
  • Press forms;
  • manual rammers;
  • drying chamber;
  • chipping machine;
  • gas generator;
  • mixing station;
  • wood splitters and wood splitters;
  • storage bin;
  • charcoal kilns;
  • Remote Control.

Areas of application for wood waste

First of all, recycled wood waste is used in construction. For example, in the construction of houses according to the Canadian system, slabs are used, which include wood chips, shavings, which are glued together with environmentally friendly resins.

In addition, wood waste is used to make:

  • chip-cement and wood-chip boards;
  • brick;
  • plaster sheets.

Waste is also used in hydrolysis plants and paper mills, for the production of paper and cardboard.

Briquette production

The recycling business can be oriented based on the areas of use of wood residues. As already mentioned, these can be building materials: bricks, slabs, gypsum sheets. But most promising direction the production of briquettes for fuel is considered. The fact is that their thermal conductivity approaches the thermal conductivity of coal. For example, if during the combustion of coal, heat is released by 22 MJ / kg, then during the combustion of wood briquettes - 19 MJ / kg. For comparison, the usual firewood gives 10 MJ / kg. In addition, after burning the briquettes, there remains a minimum amount of ash and CO2 gas.

Equipment for such production will require investments of about 1 million rubles. least. In this case, the business plan includes the purchase of such equipment:

  • warehouse;
  • packaging;
  • molding press;
  • aggregates for grinding, drying waste.

As practice shows, it is the production of wood briquettes that helps to quickly bring this business to payback. Additionally, waste can be sold to other destinations. For example, Agriculture- an active consumer of sawdust.

Pellet production

They are used for heating both private houses and in industrial production. The level of thermal conductivity depends on the source material. The most popular is sawdust. To establish the production of pellets, the business plan should provide for the purchase of such equipment:

  • for packing and packing;
  • cooler;
  • press granulator;
  • dryer;
  • equipment for crushing raw materials (up to 1 mm or less).

It costs from 400 thousand rubles. and more. It is possible to purchase special European-made installations focused specifically on the production of sawdust briquettes. They allow the use of wet sawdust - the unit simultaneously dries them. The device works on diesel fuel and gas.

In the production of pellets, it is permissible to use straw, grain waste, but the higher the percentage of their content, the lower the quality. final product. Pellets with a low content of other impurities are used for domestic heating boilers. With high - for industrial, as well as for cat trays. But in any case, the percentage of additional impurities should not exceed 5%.

Production of fibreboard

They are used both in the construction of buildings, finishing works, and in the manufacture of furniture. In this case, the production plan is implemented in the following stages:

  • cleaning and grinding wood;
  • steaming;
  • the second stage of grinding;
  • drying;
  • molding;
  • pressing;
  • grinding;
  • decorative finish.

Today you can buy special lines for the manufacture of such products, both foreign and domestic production.

Fuel production

If your business is focused on the production of fuel, it is worth buying a pyrolysis plant. It consists of the following main nodes:

  • raw material preparation unit;
  • pyrolysis boiler;
  • gas power plant.

They have been produced in Russia for more than 80 years, but you can also buy foreign equipment. A domestic unit for 10 tons of sawdust per day costs about 30 million rubles. And it works partly on electricity, partly on fuel. About 3 tons of fuel are obtained from 18 tons of waste: gasoline (40%), diesel fuel (40%), fuel oil (20%).

Additional destinations

A business can be built not only on the processing of sawdust. During the cooking of bark and sawdust coniferous trees, as well as their greenery, condensate remains, which is also called the VAT residue. It contains water-soluble biologically active substances, organic acids, chlorophylls, carotenes, provitamins, vitamins, etc. A useful coniferous extract can be prepared from it, which is used in the manufacture of cosmetics, medicinal preparations for animals, as well as feed additives for animals and birds.

The hard greens of coniferous trees remaining after cooking can be processed into fodder meal for animals. This is another area that your business can use for additional sources of income. Moreover, such flour has a bactericidal effect and is used as a prevention of tuberculosis in animals.

Another area that a business can use is the production of fertilizer. For this, the composting method is used. It will be necessary to make special trenches and lay waste wood pulp in them. During ripening, it accumulates nitrogen. Such fertilizers are used for highly mineralized and loamy soils.

Opening costs

The cost plan at the initial stage will require considerable investments - at least 150 thousand dollars. They will go to repair the premises, purchase equipment, raw materials. Such items should be included in the spending plan.

Arrangement of the premises:

  • fire alarm, fire extinguishing system ($2.1 thousand);
  • lighting ($500);
  • power supply (1.8 thousand dollars);
  • general ventilation ($800);
  • technological ventilation and air ducts (4.5 thousand dollars);
  • creation of conditions for workers (2.5 thousand dollars).

Equipment costs (on the example of the production of briquettes for fuel):

  • commissioning (10 thousand dollars);
  • a machine for the production of briquettes ($110,000);
  • packing machine (12 pieces each, $1,000);
  • packaging and warehousing equipment ($1.7 thousand).

Other expenses:

  • production costs (7.1 thousand dollars);
  • consumables ($2,000);
  • wages (3 shifts of 4 people, about 6 thousand dollars).

Monthly spending plan

The cost plan is formed on the basis that the production of briquettes will work 20 hours a day and be serviced by three teams of 4 people each. Total per month for wages will take about $300 per person and another 50% of taxes - about $5.5 thousand.

Electricity costs must be included in the cost plan. The operating power of the equipment will be 80 kW. It will work about 600 hours a month, that is, it will cost about 4.7 thousand dollars.

You also need to include various additional costs. Thus, about 240 tons of briquettes will be produced per day (equipment capacity - 400 kg/h). They will require 240 euro pallets. To do this, about 2 thousand dollars must be included in the spending plan.

Please note that the basic equipment includes four auger nozzles. But they wear out already after 80-90 tons of manufactured products. The cost of the tip is about $300. Used tips can be refurbished for $100. Then the cost plan will be reduced. From additional materials you will need a stretch film that will wrap the folded pallets. The total plan for monthly expenses will be about 8.9 thousand dollars.

Income Plan

One ton of wood briquette costs $115. Taking into account the operation of the plant for 20 hours a day and a production volume of 0.5 t / h, it is possible to produce products worth $34.5 thousand per month. Production costs and costs for consumables - approximately 9.1 thousand dollars. In total, you can receive up to 25.4 thousand dollars per month.

Investments can pay off already in six months, which is a pretty good indicator for a small production. If you have enough funds to organize such a business, then it is quite possible to establish a promising and highly profitable production.

For the processing of sawdust, it is necessary to carry out pressing. For this purpose, a special sawdust press is used. Sawdust processing is a profitable business run by private and public fertilizer companies. But most of this waste is incinerated. This method causes indignation of environmentalists for the reason that new problems arise: incomplete combustion and the release of carbon monoxide.

The use of sawdust as a fertilizer is familiar to all gardeners, without exception, who seek to increase crop yields. Only the right gardener knows that the most versatile and organic fertilizer in the garden is sawdust! In addition to the production of fertilizer, production of fodder and food products from sawdust has been established. Their production is regulated by GOST 18320-78. In accordance with it, according to special formulas, the percentage of impurities, the content of sawdust of various tree species is determined.

In many areas there is a noticeable amount of wood waste. Wood briquettes are often made from them, used instead of firewood or fertilizer, depending on the density of the raw material. Their caloric content and density are close to the calorific value of dry wood. The demand for such products is very high in the countries of Western Europe, they are ready to buy it in unlimited quantities.

Processing of wood waste into GOST briquettes is carried out using installations that are produced in Europe. These products are made from raw wood waste. Drying of raw materials is carried out using diesel fuel and gas. Equipment for processing sawdust into fuel briquettes is quite expensive - its cost reaches about 7,000-110,000 euros. Such line of screw pressing of sawdust can be completed additionally in connection with the desire of the customer.

Manufacturing technology of fuel briquettes

The production of briquettes from recycled wood waste is carried out by several technology options in accordance with GOST. To obtain these products, it is necessary to purchase special equipment for the processing of sawdust. It is purchased in Europe, as well as in Russia and China. It is necessary to make GOST briquettes in special production conditions. The method of processing wood waste into compost fertilizers is becoming popular. Do-it-yourself sawdust processing at home can be done using a mini-press. This equipment is characterized by high performance and small size.

The fastening of sawdust to each other is carried out without any additives, glue. In accordance with GOST, they are pressed using high pressure. Thus, the hot or cold pressure method is used. Fuel produced by this method, in accordance with GOST, is environmentally friendly, it does not include any chemical impurities.

In a communal or private household, material such as cut branches often remains. The processing of branches into sawdust is carried out using special equipment - a branch chopper. It is presented in the form of attachments to a mini-tractor. With the help of this technique, branches, trunks and other wood waste of various diameters are processed. However, in most cases, branches play the role of firewood.

The shredder is capable of processing branches and knots with a diameter of up to 100 mm into shavings. The productivity of such equipment is - 7-8 m² per hour. At the sites, branches are first processed into sawdust, and then they are pressed and removed using a special loader. Wood waste treated in this way acts as an environmentally friendly material necessary for re-production if available. required level density.

Slab processing

The processing of slabs and sawdust is carried out by private and state enterprises, both into briquettes and into fertilizers. For the production of high-quality biofuels, various logging wastes with a high bulk density are used:

  • croaker
  • lumpy waste
  • cutting boards
  • softwood and hardwood balance sheets

The slab processing line includes the following two machines:

  • edge trimmer
  • dividing machine

The convenience of using such a line is that you can use all the machines together and separately. The cost of such a slab processing line is about 375,000 rubles.

With her help, the slab is cut into lumber:

  • facing board
  • blank for lining
  • container board

The quality of this material is very high.

wood processing business

Sawdust processing as a business is a very profitable business. Thanks to this option, the possibility of harming the environment is excluded, and there is also a significant benefit to society. Pressed sawdust according to GOST serve as a fuel with a high density, which is very successfully used as firewood for heating residential buildings, summer cottages or industrial premises.

The production of this advanced type of fuel, which allows saving in the heating of large rooms, is carried out in the presence of a huge amount of raw materials. The cost is low, and fuel briquettes are in high demand due to their low cost. Pressing sawdust can bring a significant income.

The production of briquettes is the most profitable option for the disposal of wood waste. All that is needed for its implementation is the availability of special equipment. The profitability of this business is obvious: you get high-quality heating material with a high density, almost from garbage.

Wood is a building material that is used in almost all areas of human life. In some cases, the consumption of this material is not entirely economical, resulting in a lot of unclaimed raw materials.

Many enterprises send about 50% of their wood there. Some entrepreneurs have realized that recycling as a business is quite a profitable business. In addition, it can be organized in just a few months, unlike, for example, from.

Types of organic fuel

The following types of fuel are made from crushed recyclable woodworking materials:

  1. Briquettes. They are obtained from waste wood. Since the briquettes have a sufficiently high density, they support combustion for up to 8 hours. Such fuel does not emit carbon monoxide and at the same time creates stable heat in the room. After the combustion of the briquette, only 1–7% of ash remains.
  2. Pellets look like granules. This fuel provides high calorific value.
These types of fuel are in great demand, not only in our country, but also abroad. Recycling wood waste is quite profitable and profitable business which will provide you with a stable income.

Processing methods

A good profit can be made on the briquetting of wood waste and the production of pellets. As a result of such processing, a cheap energy carrier is obtained, which is very popular among the population. In addition, this fuel does not pollute environment. For the manufacture of pellets, small sawdust is used, and larger chips are suitable for briquetting.

Also, waste processing makes it possible to use the cubic residue of coniferous wood. This is the sediment that forms after cooking woody greens and bark. This substance is rich in vitamins, carotene and organic acids, which have a beneficial effect on people. From solid waste cedar or pine can be made fodder meal.

We draw up a business plan

Before you start opening a wood waste processing plant, we recommend that you draw up a detailed business plan.

In a waste management business plan, the following points should be considered:

  1. Legal registration of documents;
  2. Purchase of equipment;
  3. Premises rental;
  4. The technological process is fully described;
  5. Selection of employees for work at the enterprise;
  6. Calculation of expenses and profits;
  7. A plan for the development of the enterprise in the future (for example, entering a foreign market).

Registration

Before you open a wood waste processing business, you need to register as a private entrepreneur or LLC, as well as get all Required documents. No license is required for this type of activity.

Equipment selection

To open a business, you need to purchase equipment for processing wood waste. It includes:

  • Hammer crusher;
  • Chopping machine.

A chipper is needed for processing large wood waste. The result is technological chips. After that, it is processed into hammer crusher. The resulting raw material is briquetted and used as fuel.

In these units, wood waste is crushed. With their help, you can process large or small raw materials. It is passed through a special grid, with which the size of the fraction is determined. After this process, the chips are fed into the hopper of a pellet or briquetting press. If wet raw materials are used for the production of briquettes, the chips are pre-dried, after which pallets or briquettes are made from it.

Briquettes

A mini-plant for processing wooden waste can be purchased for 1 million rubles.

To equip it, you will need the following equipment:

  • Unit for drying and grinding waste;
  • Forming press for briquettes;
  • Devices for product packaging;
  • Warehouse equipment.

It should be noted that the processing of wood waste into briquettes is a fairly simple production that does not require special knowledge and skills.

Pellet production

Buying a mini-factory for the production of pellets is a profitable purchase for any businessman. Considering that such fuel is used both in industrial and domestic conditions, it can be understood that the demand for such products is quite high. The burning time of pellets and their calorific value largely depends on what raw materials were used for their manufacture. Most best option- it's sawdust.

The mini-plant is equipped with the following equipment:

  • Crushers;
  • Dryers;
  • Cooling equipment;
  • Granulator;
  • Packaging equipment.
  • Staff

For the continuous operation of a mini-plant for the processing of wood chips, 5 people will be needed:

  • 2 people load the raw material into the dryer;
  • 2 people pour dried raw materials into a press extruder;
  • 1 person packing finished products.

As for special skills and training, this is optional. It is enough that one person has a technical education. The production shift should be 8 hours, with one hour devoted to equipment maintenance. For continuous production, three teams of workers will be needed.

room

The room in which the processing of wood waste into chips will be carried out must have an area of ​​​​at least 120 square meters. meters. Ceiling height 5 meters. There are no special requirements for the premises.

In addition to the production workshop, it is also necessary to equip warehouses for raw materials and finished products.

For general construction work, you will have to spend:

Summing up

Fuel briquettes are the most economical and popular type of fuel. They can be made not only from wood waste, but also from sunflower husks, oat husks and any other agricultural raw materials. Fuel briquettes have excellent calorific value. It is almost the same as that of charcoal.

Nowadays, many people save on natural gas, so fuel briquettes are in great demand. They are in great demand in the market, as gas prices are constantly rising. Nowadays, many small enterprises offer wood waste processing services. The funds invested in production are returned in just a few months.

P wood processing is carried out by public and private enterprises. Wood waste, as a rule, is disposed of, paying fines to the environmental services of the districts, seeing no way out of this situation.

The simple burning of sawdust with high humidity meets the understandable resistance of environmentalists, since this raises problems of incomplete combustion and the release of carbon monoxide (carbon monoxide).

It is clear that the introduction of wood waste into the combustion process contributes to a reduction in the consumption of export energy. There is a noticeable amount of wood waste in many areas.

Exist various technologies production of fuel wood briquettes. Their use as a fuel significantly improves the combustion process. The calorie content of wood briquettes is close to that of dry wood. The demand for such fuel Western Europe constantly high. European intermediaries are ready to purchase an almost unlimited number of wood briquettes.

In Europe, plants are produced that produce wood briquettes from raw sawdust and where drying to the required for production fuel briquettes 12% humidity is produced using gas and diesel fuel.

Based on the technical basis of this business plan, the project was developed and the production of screw pressing line units was organized at Belarusian enterprises. The principle of operation of the main unit - a screw press, is similar to that which Pini + Key (Austria) has been using for decades.

The price of this installation is much cheaper Western counterparts with comparable performance.

The cost of a basic set of equipment for the production of fuel briquettes, including installation supervision, is €110 000 , the total cost of the project, including commissioning, organizational and initial operating costs before the release of products, is € . The amounts are given without VAT.

1. Main idea of ​​the project

1.1. Project Goals

The goal of the project is to produce export products from practically free raw materials. At the same time, it becomes possible, on the one hand, to introduce waste into the energy balance, and, on the other hand, to improve the ecological situation.

1.2. Existing priorities and their impact on the project

Recycling of wood waste, one way or another, is solved in almost all countries of the world. Eastern Europe, including Russian Federation in general, it currently lags far behind in increasing the volume of wood processing.

Firms "TOS Svitavy", "Briklis" (Czech Republic) have created installations for processing wet sawdust into wood briquettes with a capacity of up to 600 kg/h. However, European prices are several times higher than for equipment with similar production capabilities in Belarus. So, for example, a Briklis dealer can offer equipment complete with a drying unit, starting from 290 thousand USD. A press in a similar configuration offered for this option, manufactured by the Austrian company Pini + Kay, costs 78,000 €.

2. Market analysis and marketing strategy

To illustrate the properties of wood briquettes, the calorific value of common types of fuel (MJ / kg) is given.

  • Firewood …………………..10;
  • Diesel fuel…….42.7;
  • Hard coal …….…22;
  • Peat………………… …10;
  • Wood briquettes ….19.

At the same time, when burned, wood briquettes emit significantly less ash and CO2, which is why they are in stable demand in the European market. The technological mode of operation of the installation is continuous. Sending as the volume accumulates on a truck with a carrying capacity of ~ 20 tons.

  • repair and decoration of the main premises……………………….….€ 1800;
  • creation of living conditions for the staff…………………….….€ 500;
  • power distribution………………………………………………€ 400;
  • installation of fire and burglar alarms……………………….€ 500;
  • installation of the ventilation system……………………………………………€ 600.

4.1.5. Additionally

  • transportation of equipment from Belarus to the place of installation ............... € 2400;
  • commissioning works.............................................. ......................................€ 11100;
  • machine for screeding briquettes with plastic tape, 12 pieces ....................... € 1000.

The costs under paragraphs 4.1.2 - 4.1.4 depend on the specific conditions of placement and are taken as the maximum using the method of expert estimates.

The costs under paragraphs 4.1.1 - 4.1.5 will amount to € 163,754.

4.2 Monthly costs to estimate the cost of production.

4.2.1. Wage:

To organize a full cycle of production of wood briquettes, the work of a team of 4 people is required. Thus, under the condition of continuous operation of equipment for the production of fuel briquettes for 20 hours a day, it is necessary to organize the work of 3 teams. Given the payment of a salary of 250 euros and estimating the average generalized tax burden of 50%, we get costs of € 4,500 per month.

4.2.2. Electricity fee

with an operating power of 80 kW, with an operation of 600 hours per month and at a cost per kWh, €0.098 per month will be ~ € 4704 .

4.2.3. Additional expenses.

The cost of packaging and packaging materials:

  • subject to continuous operation of the line 20 hours a day, based on a capacity of 400 kg / hour of finished briquettes, 240 tons of finished products will be produced, for the packaging of which, respectively, 240 euro pallets will be required, approximately in the amount of € 2,000.
  • a necessary consumable material in the press is the screw nozzle, which wears out during the production of 80-90 tons of products and needs to be replaced. The basic package includes 4 such nozzles.

The cost of an additional new nozzle is € 300 . However, the spent nozzle can be restored with the fusing method an unlimited number of times after the production of 80-90 tons of wood briquettes, which costs approximately € 100. This adds a monthly cost of €200.

Here we want to note that the screw itself is weak point in screw presses and, in particular, in Russian and Ukrainian briquetting plants, screw wear occurs when 20 tons of products are produced, and even for an Austrian manufacturer, the screw changes after 40 tons.

Also, from consumables, you will need a plastic tape for screeding briquettes of 12 pieces before stacking on pallets and a stretch film for wrapping pallets. Thus, the costs of paragraphs. 4.2.1 - 4.2.3 will amount to €8956.

4.3. Total costs

4.3.1. The total construction costs for the line will be €163,754.
4.3.2. The cost per month of its operation will be €8956.
4.3.3. The amount of expenses for estimating the payback period will be €174,652.

4.4 Financing plan.

Equipment for the production of fuel briquettes supplied under the following conditions:

  • prepayment of 70% of the cost of equipment... €110000*70% = €77000
  • production time - 2 months from the date of receipt of the prepayment. Further, 30% of the cost of the equipment and the cost of commissioning before shipment and assembly are paid.................................................. ......................................... €33,000
  • the remaining 10% of the cost of the equipment after signing the act of commissioning .............................................................. ............................... €13,400;
  • By this time, materials must be purchased and work must be completed according to paragraphs. 4.1.2 - 4.1.5. on the total amount........................ €32 000*;

* the last figure is taken to the maximum and is specified in a particular case.

4.5. Refund plan

4.5.1. Operating costs per month.

Operating costs per month are estimated in paragraph 4.2 and amount to €10,907

4.5.2. Estimated monthly income.

  • productivity per hour - 0.5 tons;
  • hours of continuous work per day - 20;
  • selling price per ton of briquettes - € 100;

The total planned revenue per month is about €30,000.

4.5.3. Estimated profit per month.

€30 000 - €10907 = €19 093

4.5.4. Full refund period

The term for the full return of funds for the creation of the production of fuel briquettes under the project will be €174,652 / €19,093 = approx. 9 months.
