One Shell Feedstock with a Defined Product Size
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.

Groundnut Processing Creates a Relevant Supply Network
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.

A Compact Site with Space for Trucks and Stock
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.

Shell Acceptance and Material Balance
| Feedstock check | Requirement for the selected route |
|---|---|
| Identity | Peanut or groundnut shells from qualified processors |
| Moisture | Accepted working range around 8–12%, assessed by lot |
| Contamination | Control soil, stones, metal and unrelated waste |
| Storage condition | Dry, protected stock with usable lot identity |
| Preparation | Grind to the selected particle distribution before forming |
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 Pellet Machine with Cleaning and Fine Preparation
| Main duty | Equipment | Quantity | Selection basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| Receiving and cleaning | Screen and foreign-object separation | 1 set | Prepare the qualified shell fraction |
| Grinding | Biomass hammer mill | 1 | 55 kW main drive |
| Forming | peanut shell pellet machine, MZLH520 | 1 | 132 kW main drive; selected 2 T/H duty |
| Product cooling | Counterflow cooler | 1 | Match the formed output |
| Grading | Pellet screen | 1 | Separate fines for identified compatible return |
| Dispatch | Weighed 1-tonne bulk-bag filling | 1 | At least 3 bags/hour, supported by a finished buffer |
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.

Utilities and a Practical Power Programme
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.

The Peanut Shell Pellet Plant in Nigeria Process
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.

Dust and Product Quality through Handling
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.
RICHI MACHINERY
Net Hours and Staffing
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.

Delivery and Installation for the Kano Supply Business
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.

Discuss Your Peanut Shell Pellet Plant in Nigeria
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.
