1.5–2T/H Husk Pellet Machine in Vietnam

Customer Profile and Equipment Selection

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:

• Main motor power: 132 kW
• Arch-breaking feeder: 3 kW
• Forced feeder: 1.5 kW
• Ring die diameter: 520 mm
• Pellet diameter: 6–8 mm
• Production capacity: 1.5–2.0 tons per hour

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.

Raw Materials and Local Processing Requirements

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:

• Pellet uniformity: Achieving 6–8 mm diameter pellets suitable for fuel and cat litter production
• Material pre-processing: Drying and size reduction of fibrous husks before pelletizing
• High throughput: Ensuring a capacity of 1.5–2 tons per hour to meet growing domestic and export demand

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.

Operational Benefits and Integration

Integrating the MZLH520 husk pellet machine in Vietnam offered several operational advantages:

• High efficiency: Dual-feeder system ensures consistent feeding, preventing clogging and uneven pellet formation
• Energy efficiency: Optimized ring-die design reduces power consumption while maintaining high output
• Durability: Heavy-duty construction with high-quality alloy steel die ensures long service life, suitable for abrasive rice husks
• Low maintenance: Modular design allows quick replacement of dies and rollers, reducing downtime
• Versatility: Capable of processing a wide range of biomass residues beyond rice husks, including corn stalks, straw, and peanut shells

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.

Shipping and Logistics

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:

• Pre-shipment testing and quality assurance
• On-site installation supervision
• Operator training and maintenance guidance

This ensured that the machine was quickly operational upon arrival, minimizing production downtime and facilitating seamless integration into the client's existing pellet line.

Technical Advantages and Versatility

The MZLH series of rice husk biomass pellet machines, including the MZLH520, is highly versatile for biomass processing. Features include:

• Ring-die design: Ensures high pellet density and uniformity
• Heavy-duty arch-breaking and forced feeding system: Handles fibrous materials with varying moisture content
• Adjustable pellet diameters: Allows customization from 4–12 mm depending on application
• Durable construction: Forged alloy steel components resist wear from abrasive husks
• No conditioner required: Ideal for fuel pellet production where moisture content is controlled externally

Clients choose RICHI machines for their reliability, efficiency, and after-sales support, ensuring that biomass pellets meet both domestic and export quality standards.

Customer Feedback and Operational Results

After three months of operation, the client reported significant improvements:

• Output: 1.5–2.0 tons per hour of high-quality pellets
• Pellet uniformity: Consistently 6–8 mm diameter pellets suitable for industrial and household use
• Reduced downtime: Maintenance was minimal due to durable die and roller design
• Operational reliability: Machine handled variable husk moisture without clogging or damage

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.”
