1.5–2.0 T/H Sugarcane Bagasse Pellet Machine in Brazil

Customer Profile and Equipment Choice

The client is a biomass fuel producer specializing in renewable energy solutions for both industrial and residential markets. They primarily produce:

• High-density fuel pellets for industrial boilers
• Residential heating fuel pellets
• Exportable biomass fuel for Latin American markets

Due to the high fibrous content of sugarcane bagasse, their previous machines frequently encountered feed blockage and inconsistent pellet formation.

After technical consultation, the client selected two MZLH520 sugarcane bagasse pellet machines for their strong processing capability and adaptability to fibrous biomass. Key machine specifications are:

• Main motor power: 132 kW
• Arch-breaking feeder power: 3 kW
• Forced feeder power: 1.5 kW
• Ring die diameter: 520 mm
• Pellet diameter: 4–12 mm
• Production capacity: 1.5–2.0 T/H per machine

These biomass pellet machines allowed the client to process large volumes of bagasse efficiently without the need for pre-mixing with other materials.

Raw Materials and Pellet Production Process

The client sources raw materials from:

• Local sugarcane mills (primary bagasse)
• Residual bagasse from seasonal crushing operations
• Shredded stalks stored after drying

Before pelletizing, the bagasse undergoes drying and moisture control to reach the optimal range of 12–15%, ensuring smooth pellet formation.

The MZLH520 sugarcane bagasse pellet machine in Brazil produce 6–10 mm pellets, suitable for:

• Industrial boilers in sugar mills and factories
• Residential heating applications
• Regional export markets as a clean renewable fuel

Occasionally, the client blends sugarcane bagasse with small quantities of sawdust or rice husk to improve calorific value and pellet density. The machines’ ability to handle these mixed biomass feedstocks was a decisive factor in the purchase.

Equipment Functionality and Operational Benefits

The MZLH520 sugarcane bagasse pellet machine in Brazil provide several advantages:

• Efficient processing of fibrous materials: Prevents feed blockages
• Uniform pellet output: Ensures high-density, durable pellets
• Durable construction: Wear-resistant ring die and rollers
• Simple operation and maintenance: Minimal downtime and reliable performance

Even as single-unit machines, they integrate seamlessly with existing drying, conveying, and storage systems, enabling continuous production and flexibility in managing seasonal bagasse supply.

Shipping and Installation

The machines were shipped from China via ocean freight to Santos Port, the main commercial port in São Paulo. RICHI Machinery provided:

• Pre-shipment testing and quality assurance
• Professional on-site installation and commissioning support
• Operator training and maintenance guidance

This support ensured the machines were operational quickly and efficiently, reducing downtime and allowing immediate ramp-up of production.

Technical Advantages and Versatility

RICHI MZLH520 sugarcane bagasse pellet machines in Brazil are known for wide adaptability. They can process:

• Sugarcane bagasse
• Corn stalks and husks
• Sawdust and wood shavings
• Mixed agricultural residues

Key technical advantages include:

• Arch-breaking feeder: Prevents fibrous material clumping
• Forced feeder: Ensures uniform feed into the pellet die
• Adjustable pellet size: 4–12 mm for varied market demands
• Robust wear-resistant components: Minimizes maintenance costs

The client particularly appreciated the machine’s versatility, as it allowed processing of different feedstocks throughout the year, ensuring consistent production despite seasonal variations in bagasse availability.

Customer Feedback
