1.5–2.0 T/H Empty Fruit Bunch Pellet Machine in Malaysia

Client Profile and Equipment Selection

The client operates in biomass energy and renewable fuel production, focusing on turning agricultural residues into marketable energy products. The raw material for this project is empty fruit bunches (EFB) collected from surrounding palm oil mills. These EFBs are bulky, fibrous, and have a moisture content of approximately 50–60% initially. After proper drying and shredding, they are suitable for high-quality pellet production.

For this biomass pellet project, RICHI Machinery recommended the MZLH520 empty fruit bunch pellet machine, a ring die biomass pellet machine designed for dense, fibrous materials.

By installing two palm waste pellet machines, the client established parallel production lines to increase output and maintain consistent pellet quality.

Raw Materials and Pelletizing Process

The empty fruit bunch pellet machine in Malaysia handles raw empty fruit bunches to produce uniform, high-density fuel pellets. The workflow includes:

1. Shredding and size reduction: Large EFBs are chopped into smaller particles for optimal pelletization.
2. Moisture adjustment: EFB fibers are dried to 10–12% moisture content, ideal for compression.
3. Pelletizing: The MZLH520 compresses the EFB into 6–10 mm pellets, suitable for industrial boilers, power plants, and small-scale biomass stoves.

These pellets are durable, easy to store, and transportable, offering an effective alternative to fossil fuels.

Equipment Function and Role

• Transform EFB residues into marketable fuel pellets
• Reduce waste disposal costs and environmental impact
• Increase operational efficiency by producing uniform, high-density pellets
• Support renewable energy initiatives in Malaysia by creating a sustainable fuel source

The modular pilot setup allowed the client to assess machine performance, optimize feed rates, and monitor energy consumption, providing essential insights before scaling up production.

Shipping and Logistics

The empty fruit bunch pellet machines were shipped via sea freight to Port Klang, Malaysia’s primary seaport. RICHI Machinery provided:

• Pre-shipment inspection and testing tailored for EFB
• On-site installation and commissioning
• Operator training and technical support

This ensured smooth integration into the client’s workflow, minimizing operational downtime and accelerating production.

Technical Features and Versatility

The MZLH520 empty fruit bunch pellet machine in Malaysia is a versatile biomass pellet mill, capable of processing a variety of fibrous and lignocellulosic materials:

• Palm residues such as EFB, PKS, and palm fronds
• Wood chips, sawdust, and bark
• Straw, rice husks, and other agricultural residues

Key advantages:

• Durable ring die and rollers, suitable for fibrous biomass
• Arch-breaking and forced feeding system for continuous operation
• Adjustable pellet diameter (4–12 mm) to meet specific market needs
• High energy efficiency, reducing cost per ton of pellets

This versatility ensures that the client can diversify production based on seasonal availability and material supply.

Client Feedback

"The MZLH520 empty fruit bunch pellet machines are performing exceptionally well. The pellets are dense, uniform, and burn efficiently in our boilers. RICHI Machinery’s team supported us through installation, training, and troubleshooting, making the transition to pellet production seamless. We now have a sustainable method to convert EFB waste into a profitable energy product."
