EFB pellets, of premium quality, is produced by our patented EFB pellet plant. It is a type of palm based bio-fuel pellet which is made 100% of Palm Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) Fiber. It is an ideal fuel to substitute or to reduce dependency on coal, firewood, lignite and other types of fossil fuel. The properties of the EFB palm pellets are comparable to those of commercial wood pellets.

EFB pellet plant process design
EFB type biomass pellet manufacturing plant applies a modern, environmentally-safe and sound technology to convert the palm EFB into a renewable Bio fuel (known as AgriPellet).
The proprietary technology with patent pending is energy efficient and produces no waste residue. Dust collected from the process will be recycled back in the process. The energy required by the processes will be supplied from the palm oil mill boilers.
The manufacturing process of palm waste pellets starts from shredding and drying of palm biomass to bring down its moisture content from 60% to 15%. The raw materials is then blended and densified into high density pellets with uniform physical geometry.
By reducing moisture content, increasing density and forming into uniform geometry, the biofuel will have a higher net calorific value for more efficient transportation and combustion – concurrently lowering carbon footprint and energy cost.
EFB pellet production process：
- Crushing Section. Crushing palm wastes into small particles by biomass hammer mill is important before pelletizing because this process enables better bonding and high density of finished palm waste pellets. You can choose different crushers to grind EFB, PKS, oil palm wood or palm frond.
- Drying Section. If pellet materials prepared for pelletizing contain around 8%- 12% moisture content, they are suitable for direct pelletzing. If their moisture content is higher than 12%, you need the drying machine to lower their moisture content.
- Pelletizing Section. After crushing EFB fiber you are left with EFB powder which contains proper moisture is then fed into the EFB pellet machine and pressed to form EFB pellets with high density.
- Cooling Section. Pellets just pressed out by the EFB pellet mill are very hot, so they should be cooled naturally or by pellets cooling machine in order to be packed or for use.
- Packaging Section. EFB pellets can be screened and packed either in small bags or large bags for difference selling purposes.
Note:
- The standard EFB pellets made by EFB pellet plant comes in cylindrical shape of diameter 6-12mm with maximum length of 30mm. The net calorific value is 18’840 kJ/kg or 4’500 kCal/kg, on par with sub-bituminous coal and high density wood pellets.
- The drying and crushing of EFB pellet fiber is different from other biomass because of its nature.
High return EFB pellet plant
The key tech of the palm EFB production is the pre-processing system and the EFB biomass pellet mill. RICHI is always committed to supplying simple and economical EFB pellet making solutions. Comparing with the conventional palm EFB pellet processing, we simplify the the production process.
- ROI (Return on investment) > 3.5 years
- IRR (Internal Rate of Return) > 16 %
- Area of factory: design of pellet line will be based on area availability)
- Minimum volume per month production: 1 EFB pellet plant – 1 mt/hr; minimum production of 500 mt per month
- Raw materials for pellets: 3 mt of shredded & press EFB to produce 1 mt of high quality EFB pellet per hour
- Power requirement:
- Total connected power rating – 350 to 400 KW
- Actual power consumption – 250 KW/h
The implementation of such EFB pellet plant technology model will definitely serve as a technology advancement model for managing palm oil biomass waste in Malaysia as well as other countries within the region.

How to choose machine for EFB pellet plant?
How to choose the EFB pelletizing system machines? We will help you to sort out the best machine for your EFB production, but first of all, we need to understand the basic information before providing you an outline price and specification of the EFB pellet line.
- What type of palm waste raw material you are expecting to process?
- How many different palm waste or other biomass materials are to be processed together?
- Whether your material is “dry”, moisture content under 18%?
- Whether the size of your palm waste raw material is less than 4mm in diameter?
- What output per hour is required for the EFB pellet plant?
- The standards of your electricity. ie 380V/440V/415V/220V, 50HZ/60HZ. Because the situation is different in many countries, so we must supply a different element to match your electricity standards.
We will supply a tailor-made EFB pellet production proposal based on your basic information. We can install your entire EFB pellet manufacturing plant from the ground up or we can help you pick and choose what parts we will do and what parts you can do yourself to help keep costs down.
Our years of experience can help us the size and design of your palm pellet plant system to work right. Also, we have some sample EFB pellet plants for your consideration.
Cost to start an EFB pellet plant 0.3-90T/H
0.3-90T/H EFB pellet plant cost: 60,000-3,000,000 USD
The EFB pellet production plant cost is relatively higher than normal wood pellet plant. The setup of EFB pellet production line is also a little different from wood pellet production and thus planning ahead will bring tremendous profit later.
A reputable and reliable pellet mill manufacturer or supplier can offer all around after service. And you can get correct advice on biomass pelletizing. In some cases, the poor suppliers without skill to build a pellet plant just want to close sales in a rush and offer no after service. There are many customers buying from small factories and losing plenty of money before they can even start to make profit.
Tips for setting up EFB pellet plant
How to choose the EFB pelletizing system machines? We will help you to sort out the best machine for your EFB production, but first of all, we need to understand the basic information before providing you an outline price and specification of the EFB pellet line.
- Large workshop. EFB Fiber has low density, needs large space for handling. Buffer storage solution with bin or screw conveyor will increase the chance of blockage.Don’t use too much pipes to transport the fiber from one machine to another. Belt conveyor is better than screw conveyor. Less jam but easy to control the material flow, remember EFB fiber is easy to entangle.
- EFB size reducing process and EFB fiber drying process are as important as palm EFB pelletizing process. Because if no short fiber with right moisture content, no pellets. The whole EFB pellet plant has to be stopped. That will be a big loss.
- Choose a reliable supplier, who understand EFB. Has real experience with whole EFB line desinging and engineering. Responsible for after-sale. This is very important. It is often difficult to distinguish the quality of the product in the network environment. It is better to visit the manufacturer on the spot, and don’t be fooled by the low price.
- Whether produce pellets, or carbonized EFB kernel, depends on the market demands.
- Make sure you will have stable EFB supplying, since more and more pellet line are being set up.
- Make sure your power supplying is ready before machine arrives. Transformers, the biomass granulation industry consumes a lot of electricity. After determining the production capacity, choose the transformer that matches the production capacity according to the equipment power provided by the equipment manufacturer.
- After the raw materials are determined, it is necessary to determine the workshop. The construction or search of the workshop is generally close to the raw materials or a place with convenient transportation. It is the best to have both.
If you want to start EFB pellets production and build an EFB pellet plant, and believe that we can make a difference together, we look forward to hearing from you. (Find RICHI on YouTube)
