This is a project about a palm kernel shell pellet machine in Indonesia. A renewable energy and biomass fuel company located in North Sumatra approached RICHI Machinery to purchase two palm kernel shell pellet machines.
This is a project about a palm kernel shell pellet machine in Indonesia. Indonesia is one of the world’s largest producers of palm oil, generating a massive amount of palm kernel shells (PKS) as a byproduct. A renewable energy and biomass fuel company located in North Sumatra approached RICHI Machinery to purchase two palm kernel shell pellet machines.
The client’s objective was to convert palm kernel shells into high-density fuel pellets for industrial boilers and local energy plants. Instead of investing in a full-scale production line immediately, the client chose standalone machines to first evaluate the pellet quality, production efficiency, and operational ease. The plan is to integrate these machines into a larger modular production system after successful trial runs.
Name:
PKS pellet mill
Country:
Indonesia
Date:
2025
Capacity:
2.5–3.0 T/H
Model:
MZLH678
Main Motor Power:
185 kW
Arch-breaking feeder power:
3 kW
Pellet Diameter:
6–12 mm
The client operates in the biomass energy sector, focusing on transforming agricultural residues into marketable renewable fuels. The raw material for this project is palm kernel shells, a byproduct from local palm oil processing facilities. PKS is dense, hard, and requires a machine capable of handling hard, fibrous biomass efficiently.
RICHI Machinery recommended the MZLH678 palm kernel shell pellet machine, a high-capacity ring die biomass pellet machine, suitable for dense, coarse materials.
| Main motor power | Arch-breaking feeder power | Forced feeder power |
|---|---|---|
| 185 kW | 3 kW | 1.5 kW |
| Ring die diameter | Pellet diameter | Production capacity |
| 673 mm | 6–12 mm | 2.5–3.0 T/H per machine |
By acquiring two machines, the client created a parallel production setup that ensures consistent pellet quality and production stability.
The palm kernel shell pellet machines in Indonesia are designed to process PKS residues into uniform, high-energy fuel pellets. The process involves:
The resulting pellets are durable, energy-dense, and easy to transport, providing a renewable alternative to coal or firewood.
The pilot setup allowed the client to monitor pellet quality, adjust feed rates, and optimize energy consumption, providing vital data for scaling production.
The palm kernel shell pellet machines were shipped via sea freight to Belawan Port, North Sumatra. RICHI Machinery provided:
This ensured rapid deployment and minimal downtime, allowing the client to quickly commence pellet production.
The MZLH678 palm kernel shell pellet machine in Indonesia is a versatile biomass pellet machine, capable of handling:
Key advantages:
This flexibility allows the client to diversify production, catering to both domestic and regional biomass fuel markets.
"The MZLH678 palm kernel shell pellet machines exceeded our expectations. The pellets are dense, uniform, and burn efficiently in our boilers. RICHI Machinery provided excellent installation support and training. We now have a reliable solution to convert PKS waste into a profitable energy product, and we’re planning to expand our operation in the near future."
The palm kernel shell pellet machine in Indonesia demonstrates RICHI Machinery’s capability to help clients turn abundant palm oil residues into high-value, renewable fuel. Key achievements:
With RICHI’s durable machinery, technical expertise, and professional support, the client successfully established a reliable PKS pellet production operation, unlocking the energy potential of palm kernel shells.
