1.5–2.0 T/H Bamboo Pelleting Machine in Vietnam

Customer Profile and Equipment Selection

The client operates in the biomass energy sector, specializing in producing fuel pellets from agricultural and forestry residues. Their main products include:

• Industrial fuel pellets for ceramic kilns and brick factories
• Domestic fuel pellets for residential cooking and heating stoves
• Small-scale power generation pellets

Vietnamese bamboo is fibrous and highly lignified, which presents challenges for pelletizing without proper equipment. After evaluating multiple options, the client chose MZLH520 bamboo pelleting machines, ideal for processing bamboo culms, branches, and offcuts.

Key machine specifications:

• Main motor power: 132 kW
• Arch-breaking feeder power: 3 kW
• Forced feeder power: 1.5 kW
• Ring die diameter: 520 mm
• Pellet diameter: 4–12 mm
• Production capacity: 1.5–2.0 T/H per machine

The MZLH520 model was selected for its capacity to handle tough bamboo fibers efficiently while maintaining consistent pellet density and diameter, which is critical for fuel performance.

Raw Materials and Pellet Production Process

The client’s raw materials consist of:

• Bamboo culms and branches from local plantations
• Bamboo offcuts from furniture and construction factories
• Bamboo leaf residues from field collection

All raw materials undergo pre-drying to 12–15% moisture content and are shredded into smaller chips before entering the pelleting machines. This ensures smooth pellet formation and prevents die clogging.

The MZLH520 machines produce 4–12 mm diameter pellets, suitable for:

• Industrial boilers in ceramic and brick production
• Household stoves for heating and cooking
• Small-scale biomass power plants

In addition, the client experimented with mixing bamboo residues with rice husks during periods of lower bamboo supply, maintaining consistent pellet quality.

Equipment Functionality and Advantages

The bamboo pelleting machine in Vietnam provides several key advantages:

• High processing efficiency for fibrous bamboo materials: Handles tough culms without frequent jamming
• Uniform and dense pellets: Ensures high calorific value and stable burning performance
• Durable and wear-resistant components: Ring die and rollers last longer, reducing maintenance frequency
• Easy operation and maintenance: User-friendly controls allow smooth operation with minimal training

Even as single-unit machines, they integrate seamlessly with drying and storage systems, allowing the client to start production immediately while leaving room for future expansion.

Shipping and Installation

RICHI Machinery shipped the bamboo pellet machine via ocean freight to Hai Phong Port, Vietnam. Services included:

• Pre-shipment testing to ensure optimal performance
• On-site installation and commissioning
• Comprehensive operator training

These services allowed the client to start production quickly, maximizing the utilization of bamboo residues and accelerating their return on investment.

Technical Advantages and Versatility

The MZLH520 bamboo pelleting machine in Vietnam is a versatile biomass pelletizer, capable of processing:

• Bamboo culms, branches, and leaves
• Sawdust, wood shavings, and other forestry residues
• Agricultural residues such as rice husks, straw, and corn stalks

Technical highlights include:

• Arch-breaking feeder: Prevents feed clogging
• Forced feeder: Ensures uniform feeding into the die
• Adjustable pellet sizes: 4–12 mm to meet market requirements
• Wear-resistant ring die and rollers: Reduces maintenance costs

These features make the machine suitable for continuous operation, even when raw materials vary seasonally.
