This is a project regarding a machine for making pellets from paper in Malaysia. Previously, the client had relied on basic shredders and manually-operated presses, which were labor-intensive and inefficient for scaling production. Recognizing the potential to add value to their paper waste, the client opted to invest in two standalone MZLH350 machines for making pellets from paper.
Malaysia has a rapidly expanding recycling sector, fueled by urban growth and increased paper and cardboard waste from offices, retail stores, and e-commerce packaging. In Penang, a medium-sized waste paper recycling and biomass processing company identified a market opportunity: producing high-quality paper pellets for use as both industrial fuel and cat litter.
Previously, the client had relied on basic shredders and manually-operated presses, which were labor-intensive and inefficient for scaling production. Recognizing the potential to add value to their paper waste, the client opted to invest in two standalone MZLH350 machines for making pellets from paper.
Choosing standalone units rather than a complete production line allowed the client to:
Name:
paper pelletizer
Country:
Malaysia
Date:
2025
Capacity:
0.3–0.5 T/H
Model:
MZLH350
Main Motor Power:
37 kW
Raw Materials:
Waste cardboard, newspapers and office paper
Pellet diameter:
5–8 mm
The project was conceived as a step toward creating a dual-purpose product line. The Malaysian client wanted a flexible solution that could handle different types of paper waste while producing pellets suitable for industrial energy use and pet care applications.
This approach also allows the client to gradually scale up production without significant infrastructure changes while maintaining consistent pellet quality.
The Malaysian client’s raw material stream includes:
The collected paper is first sorted to remove plastics, staples, and other impurities. Then, the material is shredded into pieces approximately 15–40 mm in length, which is ideal for extrusion and ensures uniform feeding into the pelletizing machine.
| Main Motor Power | Arch Breaker Feeder | Forced Feeder | Ring Die Diameter | Finished Pellet Diameter | Production Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 37 kW | 2.2 kW | 0.75 kW | 350 mm | 5–8 mm | 0.3–0.5 T/H per unit |
With two machines operating, the client can produce roughly 0.6–1.0 tons per hour, sufficient for serving the Malaysian domestic industrial fuel market while maintaining high-quality pellets for pet litter.
The pellets produced are multi-functional:
This dual-purpose approach ensures maximum utilization of local paper waste while creating a profitable product line, minimizing operational downtime, and improving environmental outcomes.
The MZLH350 paper pellet machines for making pellets from paper were shipped via sea freight from Qingdao Port, China, to Port Klang, Malaysia. RICHI Machinery managed the full logistics chain, including:
The machines were ready for operation immediately upon installation, allowing the client to commence production without interruption. This efficient delivery and installation process minimized downtime and allowed the client to rapidly capture market opportunities in both the industrial fuel and pet care segments.
The MZLH350 machines offer several advantages that matched the Malaysian client’s requirements:
The client specifically valued the machines’ reliability and ability to produce uniform pellets consistently, which is critical for dual-purpose applications in both industrial and pet markets.
The Malaysian facility developed a streamlined workflow:
This workflow ensures high efficiency, reduces labor costs, and maintains consistent pellet quality, critical for market acceptance in both fuel and pet products. Proper cooling and packaging prevent breakage and maintain product integrity during transport and storage.
The machine for making pellets from paper in Malaysia project delivered measurable benefits:
By producing high-quality pellets, the client capitalizes on both environmental and economic benefits, positioning the company as a leader in Malaysia’s eco-friendly recycling and biomass sector. The project contributes to national recycling goals and helps reduce pressure on local landfill sites.
After three months of operation, the Malaysian client shared:
"We are very impressed with the performance of the MZLH350 machines. The pellets are consistent, dense, and easy to handle. Operation is straightforward, and RICHI’s support team helped us integrate the machines with our existing setup. We have already received positive feedback from local industries using our fuel pellets, and pet owners appreciate the absorbency and quality of our litter pellets. We are considering adding another unit next year to meet rising demand."
This feedback highlights RICHI Machinery’s commitment to customer satisfaction, reliable equipment performance, and practical technical support. It also emphasizes the positive reception of the dual-purpose pellets in the local market.
