This Andritz OPT500 is a used wood press — also known in industrial processing as a pellet press — designed to compress raw organic material into dense, uniform pellets. Wood presses of this type are a central piece of equipment in biomass and wood fuel production lines, where they receive pre-processed material and consolidate it under high pressure into pellets suitable for energy generation or further processing. Andritz is a globally recognised industrial machinery group with a strong presence in the pulp and paper, biomass, and feed industries, among others, supplying a broad range of equipment for material processing and conversion.
The machine dates from 2014 and is offered in used condition from a location in Portugal, priced at $45,000.
According to the seller's notes, this unit also incorporates a hammer mill component, identified as an Andritz OPT500, which functions as pretreatment equipment to reduce the particle size of raw materials — including wood and biomass — before they enter the pelletizing stage. This is consistent with integrated processing lines where grinding and pelletizing are handled in sequence. The hammer mill section carries physical dimensions of approximately 500 × 2,255 × 1,060 mm, with a motor power rated at approximately 110 to 160 kW.
The pellet press section measures 2,650 × 2,300 × 2,100 mm. The drive configuration consists of two motors, each rated at 110 kW, delivering a combined installed power of 220 kW. The system has a stated processing capacity of approximately 3,600 m³/h, reflecting the throughput available when the machine operates at its rated output.
