This is a project regarding a husk pellet machine in Vietnam. A mid-sized energy and biomass processing company in the Mekong Delta region approached RICHI Machinery to improve its production efficiency for biomass pellets used both as fuel and cat litter products.

This is a project regarding a husk pellet machine in Vietnam. Vietnam is one of Southeast Asia’s leading agricultural producers, generating vast quantities of rice husks, corn stalks, and other agricultural residues annually. A mid-sized energy and biomass processing company in the Mekong Delta region approached RICHI Machinery to improve its production efficiency for biomass pellets used both as fuel and cat litter products.
The client’s existing equipment was unable to handle the large volume and variable moisture content of rice husks and corn stalks. They required a single, high-performance husk pellet machine to integrate into their current production setup. The new machine would complement the existing pellet line, focusing on efficient processing of raw husks to produce uniform 6–8 mm pellets suitable for fuel briquettes and pet litter applications.
After a thorough assessment of available models, the client selected the MZLH520 biomass pellet machine, a reliable ring-die pelletizer designed for raw agricultural residues without a conditioner. This choice was influenced by the machine’s high throughput, robustness, and low maintenance, ideal for processing Vietnam’s rice husks, which often have variable quality and moisture levels.
Name:
rice husk pellet press
Country:
Vietnam
Date:
2025
Capacity:
1.5–2.0 tons per hour
Model:
MZLH520
Main Motor Power:
132 kW
Ring die diameter:
520 mm
Pellet diameter:
6–8 mm
The client operates a biomass pellet production facility in Can Tho, Vietnam, specializing in fuel pellets for industrial boilers and eco-friendly cat litter products. They collect raw materials from local rice mills and corn farms, producing a continuous flow of rice husks, corn stalks, and straw residues.
The MZLH520 model was chosen for its ability to handle:
The client opted for a single-unit purchase to supplement their current pellet line. The unit would specifically process rice husks, which are lightweight and fibrous, requiring a machine capable of maintaining high pellet quality despite variable moisture and size.
Vietnamese rice mills generate rice husks in large quantities, often left unused or burned, creating environmental issues. The client collects these husks directly from local milling partners, as well as other agricultural residues such as corn stalks and peanut shells, depending on seasonal availability.
Key processing goals include:
The MZLH520 husk pellet machine in Vietnam efficiently converts these materials into compact, high-density pellets suitable for industrial boilers, biomass power plants, and household cat litter.
Integrating the MZLH520 husk pellet machine in Vietnam offered several operational advantages:
The client now uses the MZLH520 husk pellet machine as the primary pelletizing unit for their husk processing line, delivering consistent pellet density, improving pellet durability, and reducing dust formation, which is essential for both fuel and cat litter applications.
The MZLH520 husk pellet machine was shipped from China via sea freight to the Port of Ho Chi Minh City, the major logistics hub for industrial equipment in southern Vietnam. RICHI Machinery ensured the shipment included:
This ensured that the machine was quickly operational upon arrival, minimizing production downtime and facilitating seamless integration into the client's existing pellet line.
The MZLH series of rice husk biomass pellet machines, including the MZLH520, is highly versatile for biomass processing. Features include:
Clients choose RICHI machines for their reliability, efficiency, and after-sales support, ensuring that biomass pellets meet both domestic and export quality standards.
After three months of operation, the client reported significant improvements:
A plant manager commented: “The MZLH520 rice husk pellet machine has transformed our biomass processing. It handles rice husks effortlessly, produces uniform pellets for fuel and cat litter, and the support from RICHI Machinery has been excellent.”
The husk pellet machine in Vietnam demonstrates how RICHI Machinery provides high-performance, reliable solutions for biomass pellet production. By converting rice husks and other residues into fuel and cat litter pellets, the MZLH520 not only enhances production efficiency but also contributes to sustainable agricultural waste management.
RICHI Machinery’s professional installation, training, and after-sales services ensure that clients in Vietnam can achieve continuous operation, produce high-quality biomass pellets, and expand their market presence in renewable energy and eco-friendly products.
