This is a project about a paper pellet making machine in Thailand. By starting with single-purpose pellet mills, the client could incrementally upgrade their process, reduce manual handling, and evaluate pellet quality for different types of paper waste before committing to larger-scale production.

This is a project about a paper pellet making machine in Thailand. Thailand has seen rapid growth in e-commerce and industrial packaging over recent years, leading to a substantial increase in paper and cardboard waste. A medium-scale waste recycling enterprise in Bangkok identified the opportunity to convert this abundant paper waste into high-value products. The company focuses on sustainable recycling, targeting industrial fuel and pet litter production.
Previously, the client used a combination of manual shredding and traditional pressing techniques to manage their paper waste. This approach produced inconsistent pellet quality and required significant labor. To modernize operations and achieve uniform output, the client decided to purchase two units of MZLH350 paper pellet making machines. These are standalone machines, meaning they did not invest in a complete production line but added these advanced pellet mills to their existing facility.
The decision to purchase standalone units was strategic. By starting with single-purpose pellet mills, the client could incrementally upgrade their process, reduce manual handling, and evaluate pellet quality for different types of paper waste before committing to larger-scale production. This phased approach also allowed staff to receive training on the new equipment and gradually adapt to automated production, minimizing operational disruptions.
Name:
paper pelletizer
Country:
Thailand
Date:
2025
Capacity:
0.3–0.5 T/H
Model:
MZLH350
Main Motor Power:
37 kW
Raw Materials:
cardboard, Office paper
Pellet diameter:
4–8 mm
The client sources its raw materials primarily from:
These materials are carefully sorted to remove contaminants such as plastics, tape, and metal clips. The cleaned paper is shredded into 10–50 mm strips to prepare it for pelletization, ensuring smooth feeding and consistent pellet quality during production.
| 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 | 4–8 mm | 0.3–0.5 T/H per unit |
With two units in operation, the facility achieves a total output of approximately 0.6–1.0 tons per hour. The pellets are intended for cat litter products for local pet stores and industrial fuel for small-scale boilers in factories. The selection of a 4–8 mm pellet diameter ensures excellent absorbency for pet litter applications and adequate density for fuel combustion. This size also minimizes dust and breakage during handling and transportation, enhancing product quality and safety.
The MZLH350 paper pellet machines were shipped from Qingdao Port, China, to Laem Chabang Port, Thailand, via sea freight. Upon arrival, the client’s logistics team coordinated local transportation to their Bangkok facility. RICHI Machinery assisted with customs clearance, shipping documentation, and scheduling, ensuring smooth delivery and timely installation. This comprehensive support minimized delays and allowed the client to commence production promptly.
The MZLH350 paper pellet making machines are highly versatile, designed to handle diverse paper waste streams. Key features and advantages include:
These advantages made RICHI machines the ideal choice for the client, helping them improve efficiency and pellet quality while reducing labor costs and operational complexity.
The workflow at the client’s facility has been organized for maximum efficiency:
This workflow ensures continuous production of high-quality pellets while maximizing efficiency and reducing operational costs. Proper cooling and handling preserve pellet integrity and moisture content, ensuring long-term storage stability.
Three months into operation, the client shared their experience:
"The MZLH350 paper pellet making machines exceeded our expectations. Pellet quality is consistent, and the machines run reliably every day. Our staff quickly adapted to operating the new equipment, thanks to RICHI’s excellent installation and training support. We are now considering purchasing an additional unit to meet rising demand for cat litter products."
They also highlighted a reduction in labor costs compared to their previous manual process and noted that the machines significantly improved output consistency. The client expressed confidence in the reliability and durability of the machines, emphasizing the importance of technical support and training in ensuring smooth operations.
Investing in paper pellet making machines in Thailand has provided the client with both environmental and economic benefits:
These advantages make the investment in RICHI’s MZLH350 units highly cost-effective and environmentally responsible, aligning with both corporate sustainability goals and market demands.
The paper pellet making machine in Thailand project demonstrates how RICHI Machinery delivers practical, reliable solutions for paper recycling. By implementing two MZLH350 units, the client transformed paper waste into valuable products suitable for both pet litter and fuel applications.
