Processing technology of rice husk pellet plant
In the process of producing rice husk pellet fuel products, process conditions directly affect the production efficiency and quality of pellet products. Therefore, it is necessary to determine a reasonable rice husk pellet production process for customers.
Generally speaking, the technological process of the rice husk biomass pellet production line is relatively simple, mainly including:
- Screening: remove impurities in the rice husk, such as rocks, iron, etc. (If the raw material is clean rice husk or biomass raw material, this section is not required)
- Pelleting: transport the cleaned rice husk to the silo, and then transport it to the rice husk pellet machine through the silo for granulation.
- Cooling: After granulation, the temperature of rice husk pellets is very high, and it needs to enter the pellet cooling machine to cool down.
- Screening: Screen out the unqualified pellets, and the qualified pellets enter the packaging section or enter the finished product warehouse for storage.
- Packing: If you sell the rice husk pellets, you need a packing machine to pack the rice husk pellets.

Why use rice husk as Raw materials?
The birth of rice husk pellet plant is mainly based on the advantages of rice husk itself. Compared with other types of biomass pellet products, rice husk pellets have wider sources of raw materials, lower prices, better molding effects, simpler production processes, and good economic, ecological, and social benefits.
01 rice husk uses
Biomass rice husk pellet fuel can replace coal, and its sulfur dioxide emission value is about 1.3 g/kg, which is more than 90% lower than that of coal. It can be used for urban heating, steam generation by biomass boilers and power generation, etc., and is widely used. The burned rice husk ash can be used as fertilizer.
02 calorific value
The calorific value of pellet fuel made from rice husk is 3700-4200 kCal/kg. Rice husks are flakes, small in particle size, and generally less than 15% moisture.
Compared with wood product waste, orange stalks and other materials with large particle size and high moisture content, the rice husk pellet plant process does not require crushing and drying sections.
It has the characteristics of short processing route and low cost. It is the ideal raw material for making pellet biomass fuel.
03 Economic advantages
Taking one of our Asian customers as an example, the processing cost of making biomass fuel from rice husk is about 17.5 US dollars/ton. The price of rice husk around this area is 45 US dollars/ton, and the sales price of pellet biomass fuel in the market is 102-160 US dollars/ton.
Based on the minimum sales price of USD 102/ton, the value of rice husk can be increased by USD 40 per ton. For a rice processing plant with a daily processing capacity of 100 tons, the daily profit can reach 730 US dollars, and at the same time, it solves the problems of warehouse capacity and rice husk crushing.
The investment in building a rice husk biomass pellet manufacturing plant with a daily processing capacity of 30-40 t of rice husks is about US$87,706, covering an area of 300 m2, and the full cost can be recovered within one year.

2.5T/H rice husk pellet plant process flow
- Raw materials: Raw materials are taken from the rice production line and transported to the granulator through a closed air duct. The raw material hopper is installed on the top of the production workshop.
- Pelletizing: The material in the raw material hopper is transported to the feed port of the granulator due to the center of gravity. Under the condition of high temperature and high pressure, moisture is discharged to the atmosphere in the form of water vapor. The raw materials are pressed into rice husk pellets, which are transported to the next process by belt conveyor. The granulation process adopts electric heating, and the granulation temperature is about 80°C-120°C.
- Conveyor belt transportation: After being processed by the rice husk pellet making machine, the rice husk pellets fall from the discharge port to the belt conveyor, and transported to the finished product bucket by the belt conveyor.
- Cooling: When the rice husk pellet granulator is discharged, the temperature of the pellets is as high as 80-90°C, and they must be cooled to room temperature before being put into storage. This rice husk pellet plant project uses air cooling, because the biomass pellets have been compressed and dense.
- Finished product bagging and storage: the bottom of the finished product warehouse is a funnel-shaped discharge port, which is pneumatically unloaded. finished product transported by the conveyor belt to drop into the packaging bag, and transported to the finished product warehouse with a forklift.

10T/H rice husk pellet plant process flow design
In this biomass pelletizing plant project, the production process we designed for the customer has strict requirements on the moisture content of the raw materials. The moisture content of raw materials purchased by customers is lower than 12%, and the moisture content of finished products is not higher than 2%.
①Crushing
Raw materials pass through the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor and enter the feed port of the biomass pulverizer for pulverization. Crushing is the process of turning large solid raw materials into smaller particles.
Due to the large size of the purchased raw materials, they need to be crushed so as not to affect the normal operation of the subsequent granulation process.
② Granulation
The crushed raw materials are fed from the feed port. Under high temperature and high pressure conditions, moisture is discharged to the atmosphere in the form of water vapor through the roof exhaust fan. The raw materials are pressed into rice husk pellets and transported to the next process by a belt conveyor. The granulation process adopts electric heating.
③Packaging
The rice husk pellets are transported to the elevator through the conveyor belt, and the position is lifted, and then cooled by the induced air of the cooler, and packed into bags.
