This is a project regarding a cardboard shredding and pelletizing machine in Morocco. Prior to this investment, their production process relied primarily on manual shredding and low-efficiency pellet presses that produced irregular and low-density fuel pellets. These older systems were labor-intensive and often led to high levels of energy consumption and inconsistent product quality.
In recent years, Morocco has experienced a significant increase in urban waste generation, particularly in the form of used cardboard and paper products.
With growing environmental awareness and a rising demand for sustainable energy sources, Moroccan recycling and biomass companies have been exploring innovative ways to repurpose these waste materials. One such initiative involved a medium-sized Moroccan energy and recycling enterprise that specializes in converting municipal paper waste into high-density fuel pellets.
The company decided to invest in a cardboard shredding pellet machine in Morocco to optimize its waste processing workflow.
Prior to this investment, their production process relied primarily on manual shredding and low-efficiency pellet presses that produced irregular and low-density fuel pellets. These older systems were labor-intensive and often led to high levels of energy consumption and inconsistent product quality.

The Moroccan company opted for RICHI Machinery’s MZLH series paper pellet machines to replace the outdated equipment. This strategic decision was aimed at boosting production efficiency, producing higher-quality pellets suitable for industrial and domestic fuel applications, and reducing operational costs.
The investment also reflected the company’s commitment to advancing Morocco’s circular economy by turning waste cardboard into a marketable energy product.
The Moroccan customer is a mid-sized biomass energy company operating near Casablanca. Their facility primarily collects post-consumer waste, including:
They were looking for a reliable single-unit pellet machine capable of producing high-quality cardboard pellets for industrial boilers and residential heating.
The decision to purchase only one MZLH machine was driven by several strategic factors:
The core operational goal was to reliably convert waste cardboard into 8–10 mm diameter pellets suitable for combustion in industrial boilers and domestic heating systems. The MZLH320 model was selected due to its stability and adaptability.
The raw materials for this Moroccan project consist primarily of locally sourced paper waste:
The prepared feedstock is then processed into 8–10 mm cylindrical pellets using the MZLH320 machine.
The Moroccan customer purchased two MZLH320 cardboard paper pellet machines. Technical parameters are shown below:
| Component / Parameter | Specification | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Main Motor Power | 22 kW | Provides the driving force for pellet compression |
| Arch Breaking Feeder Power | 2.2 kW | Ensures stable feeding |
| Forced Feeding Power | 0.75 kW | Controls feed rate precision |
| Die Diameter | 320 mm | Determines capacity and compression area |
| Pellet Diameter | 8–10 mm | Adjustable output size |
| Output Capacity | 0.2–0.3 T/H | Per unit production capacity |
The cardboard shredding pellet machine in Morocco operate without conditioners, simplifying operation and reducing energy consumption.
The cardboard pellet machine in Morocco supports multiple applications:
The Moroccan biomass fuel market is expanding due to increasing demand for renewable energy and cost-efficient heating solutions. This project demonstrates strong potential for waste-to-energy conversion.
RICHI Machinery provided full logistics support including documentation and unloading coordination.
"We were genuinely impressed by the ease of operation and pellet quality. The MZLH320 has turned waste cardboard into a profitable product. Maintenance is simple and RICHI support has been excellent."
The Moroccan project demonstrates how waste cardboard can be transformed into valuable biomass fuel. The MZLH320 machines provide stable, efficient, and scalable pellet production, supporting both economic and environmental goals.
