In addition to processing EFB pellets, this EFB pellet machine can also be applied to pelletize difficult molding materials with low adhesion rate, for example rice husk, sunflower husk, peanut shell and stem, bark and other biomass waste.
Since it requires less investment and yield quicker result and that no risk, RICHI MZLH series EFB pellet mill is an ideal pellet forming equipment for biofuel production.
What’s EFB pellets?
EFB pellets are made from raw materials – Empty Fruit Bunch.
EFB stands for Empty Fruit Bunch, it is available throughout the year and it is regarded as one of sustainable source of biomass. It is a residual product of the palm oil mill industry when fruits is removed from fresh fruit bunch during bunch threshing process.
EFB has been converted into various kind of useful products, fuel, livestock feed, ferrtilizer…Currently, biomass energy is the largest conversion target of palm waste.

Uses of EFB pellets
Pellet can be used as an alternative fuel for biomass-based combined heat and power plants to produce heat and power, either for industrial use or grid connection and others in:
- Co-firing in coal-based power plant/ industrial boiler
- Furnace & foundries
- Brick kilns
- Residential & commercial heating
Application of EFB pellet machine
The palm fiber pellet machine can be used by individuals or factories, and is mainly used as biomass pellet raw material for large-scale biomass power plants and centralized steam boilers.
- For individuals, they can produce palm fiber pellets for house use, like house heating, cooking and so on.
- For factory, they produce pellets mainly for sale. The factory can sell the palm fiber pellets to anyone who needs the biomass energy, like the power station, central heating, etc.
Features Of EFB pellet machine
Decades of pelleting experience and detailed know-how of the pelleting process have resulted in a range of well-proven ring die EFB pellet mills. We offer gear-driven pellet mill with horizontal types, to work with different biomass palm waste and suit your production demands.
- The EFB pellet machine is made from ductile iron, making the EFB biomass pellet mill more durable.
- Designed with timing feeder, making the feed speed controllable. Largely reduce blocking problem.
- Driven by high precision gears.
- Utilize aerodynamics technology to keep the temperature of the machine chamber around 90°C while pelletizing, making it possible to run continuously.
- This ring die pellet mill is designed with another force feeder which can help increase the feed spread area and highly improve the pellet production capacity.
- Improved U type screw conveyor ensures continuous feeding without blockage.
High hardness and tenacity of EFB requires high-power pellet machines. Ring die pellet machine is usually the best choice. These series of EFB pellet making machines adopt roller turned structure, they are good at processing palm waste and other biomass waste materials.

Product requirements from EFB pellet machine
EFB is featured of high content of oil and water, high hardness and strong tenacity. These features make palm EFB a great material for pelletizing, but also make it more difficult to pelletize. Specialized EFB pellet machine is needed to produce pellets from palm fiber or palm silk.
The tricks of making high quality EFB pellets is at the material preparation side. Appropriate material preparation with suitable EFB pellet making machine, there will be no problem in pelleting EFB.
Specification of EFB Pellets：
- Length: < 30mm
- Diameter: 6, 8 & 10mm
- Heat Energy = 4000 kcal/kg
- Carbon Content = 13%
- Ash Content = 5%
- Moisture < 12%
- Volatile Material = 75%
Working principle of EFB pellet machine
Ring die palm pellet machines are considered the most suitable pellet mills for converting waste biomass into fuel pellets on a commercial production scale. They are well-designed and in compact constructions.
The working principle of palm fiber pellet mill is the same with other pellet mills. That is the palm fiber pellet making machine uses high pressure and high temperature to process the palm fiber with proper size and moisture into palm fiber pellets.
When you feed EFB into the EFB pellet mill, it is pressed by the friction between pellet mill roller and die. The lignin in the EFB will become soften and glutinous under high temperature. When they come out from the holes on pellet machine dies, the EFB materials have been pressed together and become high-density pellets.
RICHI EFB Pellet Machine is the one that give you good quality pellets and high efficiency with minimal maintenance and downtime.
If you want to produce large production of EFB pellets, we strongly recommend you building a complete and automated EFB Palm fiber pellet production line. RICHI can offer you customized EFB pellet plant and the most suitable equipment.
Complete EFB pellet machine system construction
Complete EFB pellet machine system means a whole set EFB pellet plant. If you want to engage in EFB pellets production, to build a complete and automated EFB biomass pellet production line is necessary.
We further process the EFB fibers through series of processes such as crushing, drying, cooling and packing to form a quality pellet and in doing so offer a fuel pellet with high Calorific Value. Another significant advantage is in low smoke and fumes emissions during combustion.
EFB pellet mill plant are custom made to your requirements and are available by request. Please share your fuel needs with us so that we may tailor your EFB pellet machine plant to your exact specification.
EFB Pellet Production process design：
Palm waste biomass fuel is a kind of biomass fuel made from palm waste by crushing, pressing, drying, pelleting and other technical sections.
- First, raw fiber is to be shredded in a palm oil factory, and they will be put in a grinding machine to produce optimal size or length of the material.
- Input the biomass dryer for drying. The crushed EFB will have to be dried out so that the moisture content will be kept at a minimum, and this is important because pellets should be consistently dry throughout its full usage.
- The EFB powder that contains proper moisture will be fed into the EFB pellet machine and pressed into solid EFB pellets with high density.
- Deliver to the cooler for cooling (The pellets just come out from the EFB pellet mill are hot, so they must be cooled first. ).
- Transport to the packaging workshop. (Then they can be packed in small or large bags as needed.)
In our solution, raw EFB is crushed, cleaned, dried and pelletized before being bagged. Using RICHI technology, you can ensure that your EFB pellets are mostly-free of Sodium (Na), Potassium (K) and Chlorine (Cl) and the moisture content level kept at 8-10%.

faqs of EFB pellet machine
According to the calorific value of combustion, fuel quality and combustion efficiency, the ranking of palm waste fuel from best to worst is palm shell, palm fiber and palm fruit bunch.
At present, in addition to burning in the self-supply boilers of palm oil factories, more palm shells have been collected and preserved as high-quality fuel for other industries to sell. Palm fiber and palm fruit bunches are obtained in large quantities and have good combustion characteristics and calorific value.
① Need No Additives While Pelleting: Oil palm fiber is extracted from empty fruit bunches. It contains about 13-25% of lignin and 43-65% of cellulose. And the content of lignin is a key component for making pellets without adding additives.
② Low Moisture: The moisture content of EFB pellets is around 8-12% while the moisture of shredded EFB fiber is generally around 60%. It means that you can save your costs on transportation.
③ High Heating Energy and Thoroughly Combustion: EFB pellets have a high calorific value of 4300-4800kWhr/ton, which equals to sub-bituminous coal and high density wood pellets. Palm fiber is proved to be very effective when burning. EFB pellets can be burned thoroughly and there is only 5% of substance left over as ash content.
④ Generate Little smoke During Combustion: EFB pellets generate little smoke while burning which means very minimum particulate being discharge to the air.
⑤ Abundant Material Resources: It is very popular and common in Southeast Asia, especially Malaysia. You can easily get sufficient materials from palm oil plants with very low price.
