This is a project about a sugar cane waste biomass pellet machine in Thailand. A renewable energy startup in Nakhon Ratchasima province recognized the opportunity to convert sugar cane waste into fuel pellets for industrial boilers, household stoves, and small-scale power generation.

This is a project about a sugar cane waste biomass pellet machine in Thailand. Thailand is one of the world’s leading producers of sugarcane, generating millions of tons of sugar cane waste annually, including bagasse, leaves, and stalk residues. Much of this biomass is left unused or underutilized, creating environmental disposal challenges.
A renewable energy startup in Nakhon Ratchasima province recognized the opportunity to convert sugar cane waste into fuel pellets for industrial boilers, household stoves, and small-scale power generation.
The client decided to purchase two single-unit sugar cane waste biomass pellet machines to start small-scale pellet production without committing to a full production line initially. This purchase was intended as a new investment to supplement their existing equipment, focusing on producing high-quality fuel pellets for local markets and export. The machines would allow them to process fibrous sugar cane residues efficiently, with consistent pellet size and density, which their previous manual or low-capacity equipment could not achieve.
Name:
sugar cane pellet machine
Country:
Thailand
Date:
2025
Capacity:
1.0–1.2 T/H
Model:
MZLH420
Main Motor Power:
90 kW
Raw materials:
Sugarcane bagasse, Dried sugarcane leaves and tops
Pellet Diameter:
6–10 mm
The client operates in the biomass fuel sector, supplying renewable energy solutions to both industrial and residential users. They specifically target:
Due to the high fibrous nature of sugar cane waste, previous pelletizing attempts often resulted in poor pellet density and inconsistent shapes. After reviewing several options, the client selected two MZLH420 sugar cane waste biomass pellet machines based on their robust performance and ability to process fibrous biomass efficiently.
Key technical specifications of the machines:
The client favored this model due to its balance of production capacity and cost efficiency, making it ideal for a small-to-medium-scale startup operation.
The client’s raw materials include:
Before entering the pellet machine, all biomass undergoes drying to reach 12–15% moisture content, ensuring smooth pellet formation. Some residues are also chopped into smaller pieces to optimize pellet quality.
The MZLH420 sugar cane waste biomass pellet machine in Thailand produce 6–10 mm diameter pellets, suitable for:
The client also experimented with blending bagasse with coconut husks during the off-season to maintain pellet consistency and calorific value. The machines’ flexibility to process mixed agricultural residues was a crucial factor in the decision-making process.
The MZLH420 sugar cane waste biomass pellet machine in Thailand offers the following advantages:
Even as single-unit machines, they integrate easily with drying, feeding, and storage systems, making them suitable for small-scale or pilot production lines, while offering the flexibility to expand later.
RICHI Machinery shipped the machines from China via ocean freight to Laem Chabang Port, Thailand’s largest deep-sea port. RICHI provided:
This comprehensive service allowed the client to start production quickly and efficiently, ensuring minimal disruption to their operations.
RICHI MZLH420 sugar cane waste biomass pellet machines in Thailand are highly versatile and can process:
Key technical features include:
The client appreciated the machine’s flexibility, allowing continuous operation even when raw materials vary seasonally, maintaining consistent pellet quality year-round.
After several months of operation, the client reported:
"The MZLH420 biomass pellet mill machines are reliable and efficient. They handle fibrous sugar cane waste with ease, producing uniform, dense pellets. Our production capacity has increased significantly compared to our previous equipment. RICHI’s on-site support and training made installation smooth, and maintenance is straightforward."
They emphasized that the machines’ reliability and pellet quality were decisive in achieving a quick return on investment. Plans are underway to expand production by adding additional units in the future.
This sugar cane waste biomass pellet machine in Thailand project illustrates how RICHI Machinery’s high-performance pellet machines can help clients transform agricultural residues into high-value biomass fuel.
The MZLH420 sugarcane bagasse pellet machines provide the efficiency, durability, and versatility needed for consistent production, while RICHI’s professional service, including installation, training, and ongoing support, ensures clients can achieve maximum productivity and profitability. Even as single-unit purchases, these machines represent a strategic investment for small to medium-scale biomass fuel production.
