1.8–2.0 T/H Agri Straw Pellet Machine in Morocco

Customer Profile and Purpose of Purchase

The Moroccan customer is a biomass and feed producer focusing on small to medium-scale operations. Their main raw materials include:

• Wheat and barley straw: Sourced from nearby agricultural fields after harvest.
• Lucerne (alfalfa): Locally grown and harvested from irrigated farms near Casablanca.

The client’s goal was to produce uniform pellets suitable for two main applications: livestock feed (cattle and sheep) and as biomass fuel for local pellet stoves. They opted for a single-unit machine purchase, understanding that this configuration allowed them to test material combinations, pellet density, and operational efficiency without the need for an immediate full straw pellet production line investment.

The machine purchased for this project was the CZLH420 model:

Raw Material Handling and Preparation

The company prepared the raw materials in the following way:

• Straw bales: Straw was pre-cut using a dedicated straw chopper, then shredded with a hammer mill to a size of approximately 3–5 mm for optimal pelletizing. Moisture content was adjusted below 15% using a belt dryer to prevent clogging and ensure smooth extrusion through the ring die.
• Lucerne bales: Lucerne was pre-pulverized and mixed with straw at a ratio of roughly 40% lucerne to 60% straw. The combination produced a balanced pellet for both energy content and nutritional value.

The Moroccan company had all pre-processing equipment in place, including shredders, hammer mills, and dryers, which ensured that the raw materials fed into the Agri Straw Pellet Machine met technical specifications for moisture content and particle size, maximizing production efficiency and pellet quality.

Equipment Function and Advantages

The agri straw pellet machine in Morocco plays a vital role in Morocco’s pellet production:

• High-Quality Pelletizing: Converts fibrous straw and lucerne into uniform 6–8 mm pellets, suitable for both feed and fuel.
• Energy Efficiency: Optimized motor design and feeder system reduce electricity consumption while maintaining throughput.
• Labor Reduction: Automates pellet production, reducing manual handling and labor costs.
• Durable and Reliable: Ring die and rollers are made of high-strength alloy steel to handle abrasive fibrous materials.
• Versatility: Capable of producing pellets from a variety of fibrous biomass, including wheat straw, barley straw, corn stalks, and lucerne.
• Easy Maintenance: Modular design allows fast replacement of rollers and ring dies, reducing downtime.

For the Moroccan company, this machine provides a reliable platform to test different material combinations, optimize pellet density, and produce a consistent end product that meets both feed and biomass fuel specifications. It also enables trial runs for varying seasonal raw materials, ensuring flexibility and quality control in the production process.

Shipping and Logistics

The Agri Straw Pellet Machine was shipped from Qingdao Port to Tangier Port, Morocco, using sea freight. RICHI Machinery provided comprehensive logistics support, including:

• Full pre-shipment inspection to guarantee machine performance.
• Assistance with customs documentation and port clearance.
• On-site installation guidance and operator training by RICHI engineers.

The Moroccan customer reported that installation was completed within four days of arrival, with the machine operational immediately. RICHI’s support ensured a smooth startup, enabling consistent pellet production from the first batch and minimal disruption to ongoing operations.

Technical Features and Multi-Purpose Use

This model is designed for broad applicability across industries:

• Compatible Materials: Straw, lucerne, grass, corn stalks, and other fibrous residues.
• Flexible Pellet Sizes: Ring die allows production of pellets between 4–12 mm.
• Standalone Capability: Operates independently, integrating easily with pre-processing equipment.
• Durable Construction: Built to withstand high abrasive stress in continuous operations.
• Energy and Cost Efficient: Reduces production costs through optimized motor and feeder design.

The CZLH420 straw grass pellet machine is ideal for producers looking to combine straw and lucerne into high-quality pellets for diverse markets, from livestock feed to biomass fuel. Its combination of durability, adaptability, and energy efficiency provides a cost-effective solution for medium-scale pellet production operations.

Customer Feedback

After three months of operation, the Moroccan biomass producer shared their feedback:

1. "The Agri Straw Pellet Machine is outstanding. The pellets are consistent in size and quality, which improves feed intake for our livestock and reduces wastage."
2. "We have also tested the pellets as biomass fuel, and they burn efficiently."
3. "RICHI’s engineers were very supportive during installation, and their service has been top-notch."
4. "We are planning to invest in a second unit soon to increase our production capacity during peak harvest seasons."

Conclusion

This Moroccan project demonstrates the versatility and reliability of the Agri Straw Pellet Machine:

• Converts local straw and lucerne into uniform feed and fuel pellets.
• Improves operational efficiency while reducing labor and manual handling.
• Offers high durability, energy efficiency, and adaptability to multiple raw materials.
• Supported by RICHI’s professional service, from shipment to installation and operation.

For biomass and livestock feed producers in Morocco, investing in an Agri Straw Pellet Machine ensures a scalable, high-quality, and cost-effective solution for pellet production. Its proven performance, ease of operation, and flexibility make it a long-term asset for both feed and biomass fuel applications, with the potential to expand production capacity as market demands grow.
