What Our Australian Clients Say

We run a mixed grazing and timber property here in Victoria, and last year we invested in a complete biomass pellet line from RICHI to turn our eucalyptus residues and annual pasture cuttings into heating pellets and stock bedding. I was honestly surprised by how steady the output has been; the ring die pellet mill handles our fibrous mix far better than anything we had tested locally.
What impressed me most was how their team adjusted the conditioning system and moisture control to suit our dry Australian material, and how quickly they responded during commissioning. They didn’t just sell a pellet machine for Australia — they made sure our whole line ran properly from day one. The consistency of the pellets has opened a new income stream for us, and that reliability is exactly what we were looking for.

We’re evaluating different pellet mill types for our Queensland operation. Could you provide pricing guidance for RICHI machinery models suitable for processing mixed hardwood/softwood, ranging from 2-5 ton per hour capacity?
+
Thank you for your inquiry from Queensland. For processing a mix of Australian hardwoods and softwoods at a 2-5 TPH capacity, we typically recommend our MZLH420 or MZLH520 biomass pellet mills. Providing a fixed price is difficult without understanding your specific raw material particle size and moisture content, but we can offer a clear range.
A complete system, including the pellet mill, feeder, and necessary preprocessing equipment, typically falls between AUD $90,000 and $220,000 (FOB China), with the final cost depending on the configuration and level of automation. The MZLH420 (90kW motor) is excellent for 1-1.2 T/H of pure hardwood, making it a strong candidate for the lower end of your range, while the MZLH520 (132kW motor) can handle 1.5-2.0 T/H and is better suited for higher outputs.
For a robust 5 TPH operation, we would likely propose multiple machines to ensure reliability. We strongly recommend sending us a 20kg sample of your mixed feedstock. Our engineers will conduct a free test pelletization in our lab, which allows us to provide a definitive equipment recommendation and a firm quotation for the most efficient pellet mill for sale Australia bound for your project.
Our sawmill in Tasmania generates about 1 ton of Blue Gum and Blackwood off-cuts hourly. What type of pellet making machine Australia would you recommend, and what’s the realistic output we can expect from these dense hardwoods?
+
Blue Gum and Blackwood are excellent but challenging materials due to their density and high lignin content. For a 1 TPH target with these specific Tasmanian hardwoods, we would recommend our MZLH420 wood pellet machine Australia model. This industrial-grade machine features a 90kW motor and a specially reinforced gearbox designed for continuous duty with abrasive materials.
However, you must temper your output expectations for pure, dense hardwood. While this model can achieve 1-1.2 T/H with pine, the extreme density of Blue Gum will likely reduce the output to approximately 0.7-0.9 T/H. The key to success is meticulous preparation: the feedstock must be reduced to a consistent 3-5mm particle size and dried to a moisture content of 10-12%.
We would equip this pellet making machine for sale Australia with a die specifically designed for hardwood, featuring a longer compression zone to properly plasticize the lignin. This setup will produce premium, high-heat-value pellets ideal for the local heating market or for export.
I run a mixed dairy and beef operation in Gippsland, Victoria. We need to produce 3-4 T/H of high-quality feed pellets containing lucerne, cereal grains, and protein meals. What specific features should we look for in a feed pellet mill for sale Australia?
+
For a high-output dairy and beef operation like yours in Gippsland, you need a robust and versatile feed pellet mill. The cornerstone of your operation should be a ring die pellet mill for sale Australia, specifically a model like our SZLH350.
The critical features to look for are a high-quality, gear-driven transmission (not belt-driven) for consistent power, a heavy-duty ring die and roller assembly designed for various formulations, and an efficient steam conditioner to gelatinize starches for better digestibility. Given your mix of fibrous lucerne and granular cereals, a machine with a variable-speed feeder is essential to fine-tune the flow for perfect pellet quality.
We would configure your feed pellet mill for sale Australia with a die that has a compression ratio suitable for both dense cattle pellets and potentially smaller dairy ration pellets. Our systems are designed to handle precisely these kinds of variable recipes, ensuring you produce durable, nutritionally superior feed.
We’re planning a commercial wood pellet operation in Western Australia using plantation pine and local jarrah waste. For an 8-10 T/H output, what’s the lead time for a complete wood pellet machine Australia setup, and how do you handle voltage compatibility with our 415V 3-phase power?
+
An 8-10 T/H commercial wood pellet line is a significant project, and we commend your planning. For this capacity, we would typically engineer a solution using multiple pellet mills, such as two of our MZLH768 models, to ensure stability and allow for maintenance without a full shutdown.
The lead time for a complete system of this scale is typically 60-75 days from order confirmation. This includes the manufacturing, assembly, and factory testing of all components, from the chippers and dryers to the pellet mills and coolers.
Regarding voltage, this is a standard part of our export process. All our motors and control systems are configured to meet Australian standards, which means they are supplied for 415V, 50Hz, 3-phase power operation. We provide complete electrical schematics for your local electrician to follow, ensuring a smooth and compliant installation. We manage the entire logistics chain to get your wood pellet mill for sale Australia safely to a major port like Fremantle.
Our mango farm in Northern Queensland needs to process 500kg-1T per hour of waste (pits, skins, rejected fruit) into animal feed pellets. What small pellet mill Australia configuration would work for this seasonal operation?
+
Processing mango waste is an excellent way to add value and reduce waste. For your seasonal and relatively low-volume needs, we recommend a compact and flexible solution based on our SZLH250 model, which is a perfect small pellet mill for sale Australia for farm-based applications. The key challenge with mango waste is its high moisture and sugar content.
The configuration must include a preliminary shredder for the pits and a paddle mixer to blend the wet and dry components uniformly. You would likely need to incorporate a dry carrier material, such as rice bran or sawdust, to achieve the proper consistency and moisture level (ideally below 15%) for pelleting. This small pellet mill australia, with its 22kW motor, is energy-efficient for seasonal use and can produce high-quality feed pellets from this unique mix. We can design a simple, cost-effective line that is easy to operate and store during the off-season.
We’re a waste management company in Sydney looking to process mixed cardboard and paper waste into fuel pellets. What type of biomass pellet machine Australia is suitable for this application, and are there any special modifications needed?
+
Converting mixed cardboard and paper into Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF) pellets is a forward-thinking application. For this, a standard biomass pellet machine Australia like our MZLH series can be used, but it requires critical modifications. The primary challenge is the low lignin content, which acts as a natural binder in wood.
We would need to equip the paper pellet making machine with a deeply grooved, low-compression-ratio die to facilitate the formation of pellets from the fluffy material. Often, the addition of a small percentage of a binder, such as waste vegetable oil or lignosulphonate, is necessary for durability. Furthermore, we would recommend installing a heavy-duty preconditioner to thoroughly mix any additives and pre-compact the material.
It’s crucial that the feedstock is consistently shredded and has a controlled moisture content. We have successfully deployed several customized pellet press for sale Australia units for similar RDF projects, and we can provide a lab report based on your specific waste stream sample.
For a new aquaculture feed mill in South Australia targeting barramundi and prawn production, we need to produce 5 T/H of slow-sinking 2mm-4mm pellets. What ring die pellet mill for sale Australia would you recommend, and what’s involved in die changes for different sizes?
+
Aquaculture feed production requires precision engineering. For a 5 T/H output of high-quality barramundi and prawn feed, we recommend our SZLH420 ring die pellet mill for sale Australia. This machine provides the necessary power and control for sensitive recipes. Achieving slow-sinking pellets requires precise control over density, which is managed through the recipe, conditioning parameters, and the die specification.

Our most popular model for mid-range feed production is the SZLH350. It strikes an excellent balance between capacity, energy consumption, and investment cost. This pellet mill is equipped with a 55 kW main motor and reliably produces 5-6 T/H of high-quality feed pellets.
Its versatility and efficiency make it a frequent choice for growing Australian feed mills looking for a dependable pellet mill for sale Australia. The total power for a complete line based on this mill would typically be in the 130-160 kW range, depending on the auxiliary equipment selected.
We have access to large quantities of council green waste in Melbourne and want to produce garden mulch pellets. For a 4 T/H operation, what preprocessing steps are crucial before the material reaches the pellet making machine Australia?
+
For council green waste, preprocessing is 80% of the challenge in producing quality mulch pellets. Before the material even reaches your pellet making machine Australia, it must go through several crucial steps. First, a trommel screen or disc screen is needed to remove contaminants like plastics and stones. Then, a magnet removes ferrous metals.
The organic fraction then needs to be shredded with a slow-speed, high-torque shredder, followed by grinding in a hammer mill to achieve a consistent particle size. Finally, the moisture content must be carefully adjusted and balanced, often requiring drying. We design and supply this entire preprocessing line, ensuring that the feedstock entering the pellet mill is clean, consistent, and optimized for producing a premium, contamination-free garden mulch pellet.
Given Australia’s strict biosecurity laws, what cleaning and preparation is required for a pellet mill for sale Australia when switching between different animal feed types, say from poultry to ruminant feeds?
+
Australia’s strict biosecurity laws, particularly regarding Ruminant Feed Ban, are taken very seriously, and we design our equipment with this in mind. When switching from poultry to ruminant feed, a rigorous clean-out procedure is mandatory. Our pellet mill for sale Australia systems are designed for cleanability, with smooth internal surfaces and minimal dead spots.
The recommended process involves a “dry clean” using compressed air and brushes to remove the bulk of the material, followed by a “wet wash” with a approved detergent or sanitizer, often using a built-in CIP (Clean-in-Place) system if specified. All contact parts, including the feeder, conditioner, and pellet chamber, must be thoroughly cleaned. We provide detailed, step-by-step cleaning protocols and can design your system with additional access panels and ports to make this critical process as efficient and effective as possible, ensuring your compliance with Australian regulations.
We are planning a wood pellet production operation in New South Wales and came across your case study about a 2-2.5 T/H project. Can you provide more specific details about this wood pellet mill for sale Australia installation and explain why your equipment is well-suited for Australian conditions?

Thank you for your interest in our Australian project portfolio. The 2-2.5 T/H wood pellet production line you’re referring to was a successful installation for a client processing pure sawdust into 6-8mm pellets for the industrial biomass market. This project exemplifies our approach to delivering robust, compliant, and efficient solutions for the Australian market.
Here are the specific details and key reasons why this pellet mill for sale Australia was so effective:
Project Specifications:
- Core Equipment: The heart of the operation was our MZLH520 ring die pellet mill, a model we consistently recommend for its durability with abrasive Australian hardwoods.
- Complete System: The client invested not just in a single machine, but a full pelletizing system. This included a counterflow pellet cooler to properly stabilize the pellets and a vibrating screening machine to remove fines, ensuring a premium, market-ready product.
- Output & Layout: The line was designed for a consistent output of 2-2.5 tonnes per hour within a compact workshop footprint of 13m x 16m. Our team completed the installation and commissioning within a tight 15-day window, minimizing the client’s downtime.
Why This pellet mill for sale Australia Succeeded:
- Compliance & Safety: A critical factor for any Australian operation. The entire electrical system was engineered from the ground up to strictly adhere to Australian AS/NZ 3000 standards. We integrated a comprehensive emergency stop system and provided independent power switches for each equipment module, a feature highly valued by local safety auditors.
- Proven Performance with Local Materials: The client’s raw material was pure sawdust, a common by-product in NSW. Our MZLH520 model, with its high-torque gearbox and specially hardened die, is built to maintain consistent pressure and output with such materials, provided the moisture content is optimally prepared (in this case, below 15%).
- Customized Engineering: While this project used sawdust, the principles of customization are universal. For a different client with mixed hardwood species, we would adjust the die compression ratio and possibly recommend a pre-conditioning step. This flexibility is a hallmark of our service. We don’t just sell a standard pellet machine for sale Australia; we engineer a solution.
For a business in New South Wales looking to establish or upgrade a wood pellet operation, this project serves as a reliable benchmark. The guiding price for a complete system at this scale typically starts in the range of USD $70,000, though this can vary based on the level of automation and specific site requirements.
We would be pleased to discuss how this proven model can be adapted to your specific raw material profile and production goals for a highly efficient pellet mill for sale Australia.
