1T/H Bagasse Pellet Machine in Thailand

Client Profile and Equipment Selection

The client operates in the biomass energy sector, sourcing bagasse directly from local sugar mills. Each sugar mill in Thailand produces thousands of tons of bagasse annually, providing a steady and low-cost raw material supply for pellet production. The client’s primary goal is to produce standardized biomass fuel pellets from bagasse that meet industrial energy requirements while reducing waste.

Considering the dry, fibrous nature of bagasse and the need for dense, uniform fuel pellets, RICHI Machinery recommended the MZLH420 biomass fuel pellet machine. This model is optimized for non-conditioned, high-lignin materials, making it ideal for bagasse pellet production.

By acquiring two biomass pellet mill machines, the client can run parallel lines, ensuring higher throughput and consistent pellet supply for energy clients.

Raw Materials and Pelletizing Process

The bagasse pellet machine in Thailand processes raw bagasse through a dry compression pelletizing process:

1. Shredding and size reduction: Bagasse is cut to 10–20 mm lengths for smooth feeding.
2. Moisture adjustment: Slight moisture is added if needed to reach optimal pelletizing conditions.
3. Pelletizing: The MZLH420 compresses bagasse into 6–8 mm pellets, which are hard, uniform, and suitable for combustion in industrial boilers.

Bagasse pellets produced are primarily used as renewable fuel for power plants, sugar mill boilers, and local biomass energy suppliers. This approach turns a low-value byproduct into high-value energy pellets, improving both sustainability and profitability.

Operational Advantages and Project Impact

The bagasse pellet machine in Thailand offers numerous advantages:

• Enhanced energy efficiency: High-density pellets produce consistent heat output.
• Reduced waste: Converts sugar industry byproducts into usable fuel.
• Durable and low-maintenance: MZLH420 is designed for long-term operation with minimal downtime.
• Flexible pellet size: Adjustable ring die allows 4–12 mm pellet production.
• Modular scalability: Single-unit machines allow gradual expansion to meet growing energy demands.

After initial operation, the client reported stable pellet quality, higher energy output in boilers, and reduced operational waste, effectively creating a profitable circular energy model.

Shipping and Installation

The machines were shipped via sea freight to the Port of Laem Chabang, Thailand’s primary industrial shipping hub. RICHI Machinery provided:

• Pre-shipment testing to ensure optimal performance with Thai bagasse
• On-site installation and commissioning
• Operator training covering maintenance, troubleshooting, and production efficiency

This ensured smooth start-up and immediate production capability, giving the client confidence in their investment and operational performance.

Technical Features and Versatility

The MZLH420 bagasse pellet machine is a versatile, multi-purpose pellet press, capable of processing:

• Sugarcane bagasse
• Rice husks and straw
• Wood chips and sawdust

Key technical advantages include:

• Durable ring die and rollers, designed for fibrous and high-lignin materials
• Arch-breaking feeder and forced feeding system, ensuring smooth material flow
• High output efficiency, reducing energy consumption per ton of pellet
• Adjustable pellet size, suitable for industrial or domestic applications

This versatility makes it suitable for biomass energy plants, agricultural residue recycling units, and pilot energy projects across Southeast Asia.
