Peanut Shell Pellet Plant in Nigeria

Peanut Shell Pellet Plant in Nigeria

Near Kano, the peanut shell pellet plant in Nigeria connects an agribusiness’s groundnut supply programme to a 2 T/H industrial fuel product. Protected shell stocks, measured preparation and a site-specific power schedule support the customer’s production and delivery commitments.

RICHI matches one forming machine to shell cleaning, grinding, cooling and dispatch. This pellet mill line has a 4,200-tonne annual basis, with an 8 mm product specification and supplier controls supporting the customer’s industrial sales programme.

The biomass pellet production line uses peanut shells as the specified forming feedstock. Its dedicated preparation route lets the customer organise purchasing around groundnut processors and maintain one clearly identified industrial fuel product.

The product basis is 8 mm diameter and approximately 10–30 mm length, with a finished-moisture target at or below 10%. Density, durability, fines, ash, heat value and relevant chemistry are measured against the intended customer’s fuel requirements.

The peanut shell pellet plant in Nigeria serves industrial fuel buyers with compatible combustion equipment. The agreed pellet dimensions, ash characteristics and delivery format give those buyers a practical specification for evaluating supply.

Kano and surrounding northern Nigerian agricultural supply areas provide a relevant setting for a groundnut shell pellet plant. The customer’s procurement programme works with identified shelling businesses, records accepted quantities and plans stock across the season.

Shell availability is assessed at the processor level, accounting for existing uses, transport and contamination rejection. Monthly accepted quantities establish the factory’s purchasing schedule and the stock needed between shelling campaigns.

RICHI shapes the peanut shell pellet plant in Nigeria around this qualified supply. The customer can offer industrial buyers a documented product with planned deliveries, supported by a defined preparation process and identified production lots.

The 1,560 m² site basis allocates 900 m² of covered working space: 300 m² for processing, 350 m² for raw shells, 200 m² for finished pellets and 50 m² for services. The remaining 660 m² supports receiving, vehicle movement and access requirements.

The peanut shell pellet plant in Nigeria keeps the raw and finished areas separate. Covered shells are protected from rain, while cooled product uses a clean loading route. The press and grinder remain accessible for routine service.

The on-site store provides a working buffer. Suitable separate storage and a purchasing schedule cover larger harvest-season volumes, keeping the compact factory yard available for loading and daily material movement.

At an approximately 10% average incoming moisture and 10% finished target, around 4,300 tonnes of accepted shells supports 4,200 tonnes of product with the selected modest dry-matter loss allowance. Gross collected shells and accepted pellet feedstock have separate records.

The biomass pellet press receives prepared material from the grinding and feeding stages. Particle checks and measured conditioning give the die a repeatable feed condition throughout the production run.

One suitable groundnut shell pellet machine serves the two-tonne forming task. Controlled feeding and a prepared buffer keep its material condition stable. The peanut shell pellet plant in Nigeria includes extraction, enclosed transfers and accessible controls alongside the principal equipment.

The dry qualified-input scope has no thermal dryer. Damp or spoiled lots require a separate decision before the customer changes its purchasing specification.

The connected electrical basis is 230 kW, including the 55 kW grinder, 132 kW pellet drive and supporting equipment. The customer’s site assessment checks the actual supply, starting sequence and available production windows.

The peanut shell pellet plant in Nigeria schedules work around the site’s confirmed supply and tariff conditions. Where standby generation is required, its selection covers the running load and motor-starting duty, with generator scope agreed separately.

Water provision is assessed around 1–2 m³/day for welfare, selected cleaning and measured conditioning where needed. Operators adjust moisture according to incoming shell samples and the approved forming conditions.

Receive and identify the shell lots

Operators record processor source, weight, moisture and storage condition. Suspect or spoiled material is held outside production.

Screen and remove foreign objects

The receiving screen and separation arrangement remove unwanted coarse material and protect the grinding route. Soil-rich loads are rejected under the purchasing limit.

Grind for the selected die

The hammer mill prepares the shell particles, typically within the selected 1–3 mm range. Screen selection and product samples confirm the distribution needed for stable feeding and the approved die.

Meter and condition the prepared feed

A buffer and controlled feeder supply the press. Any moisture adjustment is measured and distributed according to the approved forming conditions.

Form in the single pellet mill

The die and operating settings follow shell trials for the specified product. Motor load, feed condition and product samples guide operation within the selected duty.

Cool, screen and pack

Active counterflow cooling precedes grading and stock. Compatible identified fines return through the approved route. Released pellets enter weighed 1-tonne bulk bags with their lot information.

Shell dust can arise at receiving, grinding, transfers and grading. Extraction follows those handover points, while enclosed conveying limits routine spillage. Cleaning access lets staff remove retained material without losing product identity.

The peanut shell pellet plant in Nigeria returns only clean, identified compatible fines. Contaminated sweepings, soil-rich residues and foreign objects have separate handling routes.

Fire protection, equipment isolation, housekeeping and exhaust design follow the selected machinery and local site assessment. Installation checks cover extraction performance, safe service access and the agreed exhaust requirements.

The annual basis is 2 T/H multiplied by seven net production hours per day and 300 operating days: 4,200 tonnes. One scheduled shift provides time around those net hours for checking, cleaning and preparation.

The peanut shell pellet plant in Nigeria uses four operating positions and two shared support roles for quality, maintenance and administration. The defined duties include material handling, process supervision, finishing and dispatch.

The customer can assess alternative operating times against utility availability, security, delivery needs and staffing coverage. A coordinated schedule keeps receiving, production and dispatch connected to the site’s working conditions.

Equipment packing follows preparation, forming and finishing areas, with heavy assemblies identified for lifting. The customer confirms the unloading surface, access through the existing building and connection readiness before arrival.

The booked Nigerian sea gateway and onward transport corridor follow cargo dimensions, handling availability and the actual inland route. Machinery assembly is coordinated with foundations, electrical work and the protected stores.

The peanut shell pellet plant in Nigeria is accepted on its qualified shell material and finished product specification. Training covers moisture checks, grinder inspection, feeding control, product identity and die servicing.

Investment itemBudget
Equipment costUSD 105,000
Total project investmentUSD 165,000

The equipment budget covers receiving preparation, grinding, one pellet mill, active cooling, grading, conveying, packing, extraction and controls. The total also allows for freight, installation, local foundations, electrical work, existing-premises adaptation, commissioning and contingency.

The peanut shell pellet plant in Nigeria uses existing site accommodation and handling resources. New land, extensive construction, a separate standby generator purchase, additional seasonal stores and recoverable taxes are outside this basis.

The customer can compare offers on the same shell condition, product size and site obligations, with the forming machine and necessary support equipment included in the scope.

A groundnut shell pellet production line needs an identified industrial buyer whose equipment can use the product. Heat value, ash, physical condition and a practical delivery radius shape that sales programme.

Can whole shells go straight to the press?

The selected route includes grinding to the approved particle distribution. Low moisture alone does not establish that a coarse shell shape suits the die.

Can wetter shells be used without changing the line?

The dry-input scope follows its purchasing range. A wetter supply needs a moisture-treatment and storage assessment before entering routine production.

What makes an industrial fuel offer useful?

A defined product specification, identified lots and planned deliveries give the buyer useful information for comparing supply. The peanut shell pellet plant in Nigeria is designed to support those commitments.
