This is a project regarding a peanut hull pelletizer in India. A medium-scale biomass energy company in western India decided to invest in two peanut hull pelletizers from RICHI Machinery. The company’s objective was to convert locally sourced peanut hulls into uniform, high-calorific-value pellets for industrial boilers, biomass stoves, and small-scale power generation.
This is a project regarding a peanut hull pelletizer in India. India is one of the world's largest producers of peanuts, with states like Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, and Rajasthan generating huge quantities of peanut hulls as agricultural by-products. These hulls, often left unused or burned as waste, have become a valuable raw material for biomass fuel production and sustainable energy initiatives.
A medium-scale biomass energy company in western India decided to invest in two peanut hull pelletizers from RICHI Machinery. The company’s objective was to convert locally sourced peanut hulls into uniform, high-calorific-value pellets for industrial boilers, biomass stoves, and small-scale power generation.
Previously, the client relied on manual compression and smaller outdated biomass pellet machines, which resulted in low output and inconsistent pellet quality. The new single-unit machines were purchased to complement their existing processing setup and allow continuous production without a complete overhaul of the plant.

India
Date:
2025
Capacity:
1 T/H
Model:
MZLH420
Main Motor Power:
90 kW
Forced feeder power:
1.5 kW

4–12 mm
The client operates in India's renewable energy sector, specifically focusing on biomass fuel production from agricultural residues. The raw materials, predominantly peanut hulls, are sourced from local peanut processing units, cooperative farms, and nearby markets.
Considering the fibrous and lightweight nature of peanut hulls, RICHI recommended the MZLH420 peanut hull pelletizer for this project. This model offers high output while handling fibrous materials efficiently, ensuring the production of high-quality pellets suitable for domestic and industrial applications.
| Machine Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Main motor power | 90 kW |
| Arch-breaking feeder power | 3 kW |
| Forced feeder power | 1.5 kW |
| Ring die diameter | 420 mm |
| Pellet diameter | 4–12 mm |
| Production capacity | 1.0–1.2 T/H per machine |
The client purchased two machines to allow simultaneous operation and redundancy, ensuring minimal downtime during maintenance.
Peanut hulls in India come in lightweight, fibrous, and slightly coarse forms, often mixed with residual peanut skins or small debris. To prepare these hulls for pelletizing, the client adopted the following process:
The resulting pellets are hard, uniform, and durable, suitable for industrial boilers, small biomass power plants, and domestic fuel use.
The peanut shell pelletizers provided the following advantages:
By using these machines, the client doubled production efficiency, achieved uniform pellet quality, and met growing local demand for biomass fuel.
The machines were shipped via sea freight to the Port of Mumbai, India, which is the primary gateway for importing heavy industrial equipment. RICHI Machinery offered full support including:
This comprehensive service ensured smooth integration into the client’s facility and immediate operational readiness.
The MZLH420 peanut hull pelletizer is a versatile machine suitable for:
Key technical features include:
These features make it possible for clients to diversify their pellet production without purchasing multiple machines.
The client shared their experience:
"RICHI’s peanut hull pelletizers have revolutionized our biomass pellet production line. The machines are reliable, efficient, and the pellets are uniform and hard. The installation was quick, and the staff training provided by RICHI was extremely helpful. Our production capacity has increased, and we can now supply consistent, high-quality pellets to industrial and domestic markets."
This testimonial highlights RICHI Machinery’s quality, service reliability, and professional support.
