1.5–2.0 T/H Bagasse Pellet Mill in Brazil

Client Profile and Equipment Selection

The client operates within Brazil’s renewable energy and biomass sector, sourcing bagasse directly from nearby sugarcane mills in the São Paulo region. Their goal is to produce consistent, high-quality pellets suitable for both industrial combustion and commercial energy applications.

Given the dry, fibrous nature of Brazilian bagasse, RICHI Machinery recommended the MZLH520 fuel biomass pellet mill, optimized for high-lignin, low-moisture materials. This ensures efficient pellet formation, uniform density, and durability.

The client chose two machines to run parallel production lines, increasing total output while maintaining consistent pellet quality.

Raw Materials and Pelletizing Process

The bagasse pellet mill in Brazil processes raw bagasse through a dry compression pelletizing process, creating pellets suitable for energy use:

1. Pre-shredding: Bagasse is cut into 15–25 mm pieces to facilitate feeding.
2. Moisture conditioning: Minimal water is added to achieve optimal pellet density without altering combustion properties.
3. Pelletizing: The MZLH520 bagasse pellet machine compresses bagasse into 6–10 mm fuel pellets, ensuring high calorific value and low ash content.

This process transforms waste from sugarcane production into marketable biomass fuel pellets, reducing waste and providing a reliable, renewable energy source.

Equipment Function and Impact

The bagasse pellet mill in Brazil plays a crucial role in the energy production workflow:

• Converts bagasse into uniform, high-density fuel pellets
• Reduces storage space and simplifies transport compared to loose bagasse
• Supports sustainable energy practices, promoting circular economy principles
• Enhances energy output in industrial boilers with predictable combustion characteristics

By implementing these mills, the client achieved greater control over production quality, higher operational efficiency, and a new revenue stream from bagasse-derived pellets.

Shipping and Logistics

The machines were shipped via sea freight to the Port of Santos, Brazil’s primary industrial and commercial shipping hub. RICHI Machinery ensured:

• Pre-shipment testing for Brazilian bagasse
• Installation and commissioning on-site
• Comprehensive operator training, covering maintenance, troubleshooting, and optimization

This allowed the client to start pellet production immediately, minimizing downtime and ensuring rapid ROI.

Technical Features and Versatility

The MZLH520 bagasse pellet mill in Brazil is a versatile, high-efficiency biomass pelletizer, capable of processing a wide range of materials beyond bagasse:

• Wood chips and sawdust
• Rice husks and straw
• Agricultural residues with high lignin content

Key technical advantages:

• Durable ring die and rollers, designed for fibrous materials
• Arch-breaking and forced feeding systems, ensuring smooth, continuous operation
• Adjustable pellet size, from 4–12 mm, suitable for various applications
• Energy-efficient design, reducing electricity consumption per ton of pellets

This versatility makes it ideal for renewable energy projects, biomass recycling initiatives, and pilot production setups throughout Brazil and Latin America.

Client Feedback

The client expressed satisfaction with the machines’ performance and reliability:

"RICHI’s bagasse pellet mills exceeded our expectations. The pellets are dense, uniform, and burn efficiently in our boilers. Installation and training were professional, and support from RICHI has been excellent. These machines have helped us convert sugarcane waste into a profitable energy product."

This confirms RICHI Machinery’s expertise in biomass equipment and customer support.
