EFB Pellet Machine

If your raw materials contain “wet EFB,” then you will generally need a dryer. The reason is simple: EFB itself typically has a moisture content of 45-65%, while pelleting requires the raw material moisture content to be reduced to 10-15% for successful pelleting; otherwise, the pellets will be poorly formed, brittle, or have insufficient moisture content.

In contrast, the sawdust, wood, and bamboo you are mixing typically have a lower moisture content (10-25%). These raw materials themselves do not need to be dried, but once wet EFB is mixed with them, it will “raise the overall moisture content,” ultimately making pelleting impossible.

✔ Will the overall price be very high?

Not necessarily. The cost of a dryer mainly depends on your production volume, the moisture content of the raw materials, and the processing scale. Larger and more expensive dryers are not necessarily more suitable. Because we at RICHI are a professional manufacturer of biomass equipment, all our equipment is offered at factory-direct prices, eliminating middlemen and their markups. Therefore, purchasing from us is undoubtedly one of the most cost-effective options in the market.

Furthermore, our technical team will design the most suitable drying solution for you based on the moisture content, proportions, and processing capacity of your current raw materials (wet EFB + sawdust + wood + bamboo), ensuring: no wasted investment, no purchase of oversized equipment, and no unnecessary additional energy costs.

To produce high-density, uniformly shaped pellets, several key steps are required: pretreatment → high-pressure compression → cutting and shaping → cooling and discharge. The process is as follows:

1. The long-fiber EFB is broken down and its moisture content controlled to meet the basic conditions for pelleting.
2. A screw feeder delivers the material at a uniform speed, ensuring stable operation of the pellet mill.
3. The pressure rollers and ring die work together to compress the material, which is the core step in achieving the desired pellet density and hardness.
4. An adjustable cutter cuts the long pellets into specified lengths to meet different specifications.
5. The hot, soft pellets are cooled and shaped, resulting in denser, less breakable finished pellets.

During the construction of an EFB pellet plant, the first consideration for the customer is how to minimize the investment upfront and start production as soon as possible in order to obtain production revenue. Specific investment includes land cost, equipment cost and later maintenance cost. For us, as an EFB pellet line supplier, how to help customers realize ” reduce cost and increase efficiency” in the construction of EFB pellet plant is the key goal to pursue.

To achieve the goal of cost reduction and efficiency, it is important to consider the following aspects:

First, determine the production scale

As the biomass pellet industry is getting hotter and hotter, more and more people choose to join the EFB pellet industry business.Investors should analyze the geographical characteristics and market objectives in advance before building EFB pellet plant to avoid blind investment, and determine the production scale according to the local market situation.

Second, confirm the structure of the production workshop

Concrete structure has a long construction period, low cost and good working environment in the workshop; steel structure workshop has a short construction period, high cost and poor working environment in the workshop, but it can be recycled. You can choose the suitable workshop structure according to your budget.

Third, choose the production process and equipment

The production process directly affects the EFB pellet manufacturers for the purchase of equipment and product quality. Choose EFB pellet line manufacturer with better technical strength and experience can help you achieve twice the result with half the effort. According to the program design configuration of reasonable production equipment, production equipment selection is related to the quality of the finished product and the cost of the leading factors, according to the output, environmental protection, quality and other requirements, each section of the choice of supporting equipment is not the same type.

Fourth, attach importance to auxiliary equipment

While focusing on the main equipment, we should also pay attention to the selection and installation of auxiliary equipment, such as crushing equipment, for example, the wind network of crushing lacks the necessary settlement space, easily triggered by the clogging of the pulse dust collector, which will directly affect the performance of the host play.

Fifth, plant construction centered on workshop construction

Try to ensure that the distance between the workshop and the raw materials warehouse, finished goods warehouse, so that they are connected, boiler room, distribution room, mechanical room, etc. should also be distributed around the main workshop to reduce the personnel walking time, saving the cost of circuit loss.

Sixth, rationalize the arrangement of equipment maintenance

Standardized operation and good maintenance can ensure the normal operation of production equipment, improve the service life. Repair after the fact into a pre-maintenance, is conducive to reducing production costs, but also conducive to improving production efficiency! You can find us on YouTube.
