Processing by grinding and dry classification for biomass.

Biomass is all organic matter that can become a source of energy. It can be used either directly (wood energy) or after methanisation of organic matter (biogas) or further chemical transformations (biofuel). They can also be used for composting.

Many industries, such as power plants, use biomass (generally wood) in powder form, which requires grinding before use in order to obtain wood particles with sufficient aerodynamic qualities to be used in the process.

The POITTEMILL Group offers a wide range of patented industrial processes for fine grinding, particle size reduction, separation and application classification to provide the most suitable engineering solutions for full operational compliance with biomass materials.

Sustainable processing solutions

Fully integrated solutions are the key to providing optimised processes that help you both reduce costs and make more sustainable use of valuable resources.

These systems are based on the principle of:
• Reliability and safety
• Low operating and maintenance costs
• Guaranteed hygienic, customer-oriented process solutions
• Easy cleaning
• Energy saving

The diverse characteristics of powders in these types of industries require a combination of engineering skills and experience to design quality systems to meet the expectations of today’s and tomorrow’s customers.

Process testing and development

The POITTEMILL Group has its own scientific laboratory as well as a test center which is unique in France. It is in this test center that the dialogue between customers and the technical teams begins, but it is also here that detailed analyses of their raw materials are carried out to obtain complete information on the execution of the task set.

Our development and engineering team is always available to help you explore new and innovative processes and applications.

Our testing facilities offer exceptional opportunities to test ingredients, machines, parameters, and processes, whether in the laboratory, pilot or industrial scale, to ensure you achieve the necessary product quality and operating efficiency.
