0086-138 3838 9622Loading is underway for an 8 t/h sunflower husk pellet production system ordered by a Bulgarian biomass fuel company, marking the end of the project’s principal factory work at RICHI Machinery.
The future biomass pellet plant will process sunflower husks generated by oilseed-processing activities together with limited volumes of other approved cereal residues when suitable.
The customer plans to produce 8 mm industrial fuel pellets for bulk energy markets.
Shipment Volume Reflects a Low-Density Raw Material Business
The commercial reason behind the project starts with the raw material itself.
Sunflower husks are comparatively light and bulky. Moving them over long distances in untreated form means transporting a large volume for a relatively limited mass.
Pelletizing changes this logistics equation by producing a denser fuel that is easier to store, handle and transport.
That value proposition shaped the customer’s investment from the beginning.
Upstream Storage Was Treated as a Production Issue
Because husks have low bulk density, the plant cannot rely on small buffer bins designed for denser materials.
A tonne of sunflower husk occupies a substantially larger volume than a tonne of many mineral or grain ingredients.
The receiving and feeding sections therefore need enough physical volume to supply the pelletizing section without frequent interruption.
RICHI considered this requirement during engineering and equipment selection.
Loading Follows Installation Zones
The machines are being packed and loaded according to the future arrangement at the Bulgarian site.
Preparation and feeding equipment are grouped separately from the pelletizing section, while cooling, screening and corresponding conveying components are identified for downstream installation.
This approach should reduce confusion when containers are opened at the project site.
Local Husks Will Determine Final Production Settings
The factory stage can verify equipment condition and functionality, but final commissioning cannot be completed with assumptions about Bulgarian sunflower husk.
Moisture, fines content and storage condition can vary from one supply source to another.
After installation, the customer’s own material will be used to determine practical feeding and pelletizing settings.
The current loading operation therefore closes the manufacturing chapter of the biomass pellet project while opening the logistics phase that will bring the 8 t/h system to its permanent production site in Bulgaria.
