This is a project about a rice husk pellet granulate machine in Peru. A medium-sized rice milling operation located near Lambayeque sought a sustainable solution to efficiently convert rice husks into biomass fuel pellets. The mill’s main objective was to reduce waste management costs, mitigate environmental impact, and generate a renewable fuel source for its operations.
This is a project about a rice husk pellet granulate machine in Peru. Peru, with its diverse agricultural regions along the coast, the Andes, and the Amazon basin, produces significant quantities of rice annually, particularly in areas such as Lambayeque, Piura, and San Martín.
This high rice output generates a substantial volume of rice husks as a byproduct. Traditionally, many small and medium rice mills in Peru faced challenges in disposing of these husks. Some mills burned the husks openly, while others stored them in piles, creating environmental concerns and underutilizing a potentially valuable resource.
A medium-sized rice milling operation located near Lambayeque sought a sustainable solution to efficiently convert rice husks into biomass fuel pellets. The mill’s main objective was to reduce waste management costs, mitigate environmental impact, and generate a renewable fuel source for its operations. After assessing multiple suppliers, the client decided to invest in a single rice husk pellet granulate machine in Peru, allowing them to start pellet production on a moderate scale without committing to a full production line.
The decision to purchase a single machine rather than a complete husk biomass pellet production line was strategic. It allowed the client to test the operational performance of the pellet machine, understand the processing nuances of rice husks, and gradually scale up production based on market demand and internal fuel consumption.
Name:
rice husk pellet mill
Country:
Peru
Date:
2025
Capacity:
3–4 tons/day
Model:
MZLH350
Main Motor Power:
37 kW
Ring Die Inner Diameter:
350 mm
Pellet Diameter Range:
6–8 mm
The client is a regional rice milling facility processing around 50–70 tons of paddy per day during peak harvest seasons. The facility had been struggling with rice husk disposal and rising fuel costs for drying rice post-harvest. Their motivation for purchasing a rice husk pellet machine was driven by several factors:
The choice to start with a single rice husk pellet granulate machine in Peru allowed the client to test both the market and production process while minimizing financial risk.
The primary feedstock is 100% rice husks collected directly from the milling operation. Occasionally, the client experimented with small percentages (less than 5%) of dry sawdust from nearby wood processing facilities to slightly enhance pellet density. However, the primary material remains exclusively rice husks.
The pellet size for this rice husk pellet granulate machine in Peru project was selected at 6–8 mm in diameter, which provides optimal combustion characteristics for fuel applications, high energy density, and easy handling. The client’s main objective is fuel production, but these pellets also meet quality standards for small-scale biomass boilers used by other local businesses.
Based on the client’s production capacity, the MZLH350 rice husk pellet granulate machine was chosen. This model is well-suited for small to medium-sized mills and provides reliable output while maintaining energy efficiency.
| Model | Main Motor Power | Production Capacity |
|---|---|---|
| MZLH350 | 37 kW | 0.3–0.5 T/H |
| Anti-Caking Feeder Power | Forced Feeder Power | Ring Die Inner Diameter |
| 2.2 kW | 0.75 kW | 350 mm |
| Pellet Diameter Range | Daily Output | |
| 4–12 mm (set to 6–8 mm) | 3–4 tons/day | |
This capacity is ideal for the client, producing approximately 3–4 tons of pellets per day, which aligns well with the daily rice husk output of the facility.
Given that the client is located inland, the rice husk pellet granulate machine was shipped from China via sea freight to the Port of Callao, Peru’s primary maritime gateway. From Callao, the machine was transported by truck to Lambayeque, ensuring safe delivery and minimal handling damage.
RICHI Machinery coordinated all aspects of shipping and customs clearance, providing the client with a seamless import experience. The logistical support included:
