Why process rice straw pellets?
Looking around the world, straw crop resources are abundant. Rice is one of the main crops, and rice straw contains rich biomass energy.
However, due to the fluffy texture, large volume and low density of straw raw materials, it results in low calorific value and low utilization rate during combustion, high transportation costs and is not conducive to storage and utilization.
If rice straw is processed into pellets, it will not only make full use of crop straw resources to form a large-scale and commercial industry, but also save feeding costs and increase breeding benefits.
The use of crop straw for feeding is a good and effective way to realize livestock housing, protect the environment, solve the competition between humans and animals for food, and promote the development of the animal husbandry industry.
Types of rice straw pellet making machine
Biomass raw materials such as rice hay are compressed into pellets, which can be used for both combustion and feeding. The compression equipment is mainly a ring die pellet machine. The principle of rice straw compression is the same, which is to densely compress the crushed straw to form pellets.
However, due to different uses, different characteristic requirements of straw pellets, and significant differences in raw material additives, working conditions, and process flows, pellet feed equipment cannot be directly used to produce straw solid pellet fuel.
Rice Straw fuel pellet machine
This type of rice straw pellet making machine adopts the MZLH model and is not equipped with a conditioner. It is suitable for processing all types of biomass pellet fuel.
Rice Straw feed pellet machine
This type of rice straw pellet making machine adopts the SZLH model, equipped with a single-layer or double-layer conditioner, and is suitable for processing livestock feed.
- Although the forming principles of rice hay pellet feed and biomass straw pellet fuel are the same, there are obvious differences in their raw material additives, production processes and uses. The production equipment and processes of pellet feed cannot be directly used to process biomass solid fuel. A straw fuel pellet machine and a straw feed pellet mill need to be used respectively to process the pellets.
- In order to reduce costs and meet production requirements, when designing the biomass rice straw pellet fuel process, we will try to simplify the process to reduce production energy consumption. In order to increase the life and work continuity of the rice straw pellet making machine, RICHI has improved the key components of the pelleting machine. The materials of the ring die and pressure rollers are adapted to the working conditions of biomass straw solid fuel.
- For feeding and burning purposes of biomass such as paddy straw, the paddy straw is graded and utilized, and the nutrient-rich leaves, etc. are used as feed, and the stalks with high cellulose content are used as fuel. Customers can use straw separation technology or equivalent exchange methods to achieve maximum utilization of straw.
RICHI took rice straw hay pellet fuel and pellet feed as the research objects.
After analyzing the different characteristics and uses of the pellets after they were formed, and conducting analysis and comparison in terms of raw materials, compression equipment, processing technology, etc., RICHI finally developed the ring die series rice straw pellet making machine product that meets the requirements of various types of straw pellets production and has been widely used in fuel pellet processing plants and livestock cattle goat horse feed processing plants.
Features Of rice straw pellet making machine
At present, the rice straw hay pellet machine products produced by RICHI have become increasingly mature. It has the following advantages:
- The rice straw pellet granulator can adapt to a variety of raw materials, with a single machine output of up to 10t/h for fuel pellets, and up to 42t/h for feed pellets;
- The transmission part of the whole machine uses high-quality SKF bearings to ensure efficient, stable and low-noise transmission;
- The alloy steel ring die processed by the internationally advanced vacuum heat treatment manufacturing process has a long service life and a wide range of applications. It can pelletize and mold a variety of fuels such as corn stalks, cotton stalks, peanut shells, and sawdust;
- It adopts the classic design of gear transmission system and characteristic double pressure rollers, which ensures uniform distribution, high output and low noise. The ring die technology can process the smallest particle aperture of 1.2mm;
- Adopting a special feeding mechanism, the feeding is uniform and reliable, and is specially designed for suppressing various straw pellet fuels.
- For the Feed & Biofuel series rice straw pellet making machines produced, the rollers can be adjusted quickly, simply and accurately. The die hole size usually ranges from 2-12mm, and the pellet mold can reach about 90mm thick.

Pelletizing parameters of rice straw pellet making machine
The range of rice straw pelleting parameters is molding pressure 120-180 MPa, particle size less than 0.9 mm, and moisture content 15%-25%.
Regarding the parameters of pellet molding, due to differences in raw materials, proportions, processes, and equipment, RCIHI can provide some reference data:
- When the moisture content of the molded pellets is less than 15%, the density of the pellets is proportional to the moisture content;
- When the moisture content of straw materials is around 15%, the density of the molded blocks reaches the maximum;
- When the moisture content is greater than 15%, the density of the dense briquette begins to be inversely proportional to its moisture content, and then when the moisture content increases again, the decreasing trend of the briquette density slows down;
- When the moisture content of the rice straw exceeds 25%, cracks begin to appear on the surface of the molded pellets, and the internal density is uneven. The molding effect is poor. When the moisture content is greater than 30%, molding is difficult.
Therefore, the moisture content is about 15%, and the molding effect is best.

Working principle of rice straw pellet making machine
The principle of the straw pellet making machine is to use lignin as a binder to compress loose straw into granular and other shaped fuel under a certain temperature and pressure. It is one of the most common and effective technologies for utilizing biomass energy at home and abroad.
working principle:
Rice straw pellets are extruded by rollers and dies. The motor drives the ring die to rotate, and the material entering the ring die drives the pressure roller to rotate.
When the material is fed into the working area by the forced feeder, as the ring die and the pressure roller rotate, the material in front of the pressure roller is squeezed into the compression area.
The material is squeezed in the compression zone, the gap between the materials shrinks rapidly, the pressure and density inside the material increase, the elastic deformation of the material changes to plastic deformation, and the material reaching a certain density is pressed into the die hole.
After a certain period of pressure holding, the material with a certain density is extruded out of the die hole and becomes rice straw pellet.
During the rice straw hay pelleting process, the bonding force increases and the lignin begins to soften. This occurs when the temperature of the straw particles reaches about 70-110℃. The formation of rice straw pellet is the result of the tight adhesion of rice straw pellets, which is caused by the increased softening of lignin and occurs at around 250℃.
Therefore, although the ring-die pellet machine does not require a heating system, it can obtain high-quality rice straw pellet products, which to some extent reduces energy consumption and operating costs.
Complete rice straw pellet making machine plant Construction
Generally speaking, the processing technology of rice straw pellets mainly includes raw material receiving and cleaning, drying, crushing, mixing, granulating, cooling, screening and metering and packaging. This process is relatively standard and complete.
In the actual design, we will conduct customized designs based on the customer’s raw material status, pellet type, process requirements, output requirements, and factory specifications.
Rice straw pellet fuel making plant
Common processes include: drying – crushing – fuel pelleting – cooling – screening – packaging
The rice straw raw materials are cleaned and dried, crushed by haymakers, bale breakers, and pulverizers. The rice straw is compressed and molded using a ring-die rice straw pellet making machine. After cooling, screening, quality inspection, packaging and other processes, the straw is compressed into Pellets fuel.
If the moisture content of the customer’s raw materials is not higher than 15%, you can granulate directly after crushing without using a dryer; if it is higher than 15% but lower than 20%, you can consider mixing dry materials with wet materials to neutralize the moisture. and reduce, then granulate.
The principles for selecting straw pellet fuel equipment are technological advancement, economical applicability, safety and durability, high efficiency and low consumption, easy maintenance, etc. Use the perspective of sustainable development to select equipment that will last longer, so as to achieve continuous production and create benefits. The correct choice can be made based on personal economic strength, raw materials and site conditions.
Rice straw pellet feed production plant
Production processes include: drying – cleaning – crushing – mixing – feed pelleting (with conditioner) – cooling – screening – packaging
After the rice straw is fully dried, the straw is crushed using a mower and pulverizer, and an appropriate amount of additives such as alfalfa powder and trace elements are added for mixing.
The pellet feed is extruded by a rice straw pellet machine and processed into pellet feed.
Due to the friction and heating during the processing, the inside of the rice straw is fully matured, and the surface of the processed feed pellets is uniform, and the pellet size can be automatically adjusted as needed.
After being processed into straw pellet feed, it has high nutritional content. At present, there are whole sets of pellet feed equipment that automatically complete the functions of crushing, mixing and feeding, and the production efficiency is very high. This system is equivalent to a feed plant system. Please refer to our animal feed mill plant and fully automatic cattle feed plant design.

Application of rice straw pellet making machine
The rice straw pellet mill machine is mainly used to process pellet fuel and pellet feed.
(1) Process rice straw pellet fuel
Compared with loose crushed straw, the combustion characteristics of rice straw molded fuel after compression molding are significantly improved, with less ash and less black smoke. The firepower is long-lasting, the furnace temperature is high, the combustion is sufficient, and the combustion characteristics are obviously improved.
The pellets are uniform and can meet the requirements of automatic feeding systems such as power plants. The density is 6 to 8 times greater than loose straw, making it easy to use. Rice straw molded fuel made by rice straw pellet making machine burns faster than coal, emits very small amounts of dust, NOX, and SOX, which is lower than coal. It is clean and hygienic and protects the environment.
(2) Processing of rice straw pellet feed
When processing rice straw feed pellets with rice straw pellet making machine, it is necessary to add auxiliary materials. In order to ensure that the feed is rich in nutrients, protein, starch, fat, sugar, etc. are generally added to the straw.
This not only improves the palatability of the pellet feed, increases the bulk weight, and improves the quality of ruminant animals. The feed intake of rice straw also increases the degradation rate of straw organic matter by rumen microorganisms and increases the absorption of nutrients.
Molding size of pellet feed: granular diameter 2~12mm, length approximately 30~50mm. Due to the addition of additives, pellet feed has higher nutrients such as crude fiber and crude protein than pellet feed. Compared with rice straw pellet feed, the formed rice straw pellet fuel has a lower moisture content, high solidity, high pellet density, and a long storage period.
What are the main applications of rice straw fuel?
Biomass rice straw pellet fuel made by rice straw pellet making machine also has great advantages in terms of use. In the industrial field, because the raw materials of rice straw pellet fuel have the advantages of wide sources, low production costs, easy implementation, large output, and good combustion performance, it is an alternative to electricity, oil, and natural gas.
The best product of coal and coal, corn straw pellets have lower operating costs. As an efficient, energy-saving and environmentally friendly thermal energy, compared with fuel, natural gas and electricity, operating costs can be saved by 40% to 50%.
For enterprises, rice straw pellet fuel is a relatively economical and better choice. While enterprises reduce costs, they also protect the environment. Secondary optimization of the carbonized particles can produce industrial activated carbon, which can be used in smelting and reduction processes. It has great advantages in the chemical and environmental protection industries.

How to evaluate the quality of rice straw pellets?
The quality of rice straw pellets made by rice straw pellet making machine mainly depends on the density of the straw pellets after molding and their combustion heat value. The density of the fuel pellets plays a decisive role in the strength, combustion heat value and other factors of the rice straw pellets. There are many indicators to measure the physical properties of rice straw pellets, and durability and relaxed density are two important indicators.
For cold pressing densification molding, factors that affect the physical properties of rice straw pellets also include compression method, straw size, molding pressure, die hole shape, moisture content of straw particles, etc.
The strength of the rice straw pellets and the performance of transportation and storage are concrete manifestations of the durability of biomass products, that is, durability essentially reflects the bonding properties between biomass raw material particles.
After the rice straw pellets are densely formed and placed in a relatively dry environment for a specific period of time, the final density is the relaxed density. As an important factor affecting the durability of rice straw pellets, the greater the relaxed density of rice straw pellets, the greater the durability.
Generally speaking, the relaxation density is smaller than the density of the newly extruded pressed block, so the density of the formed block is generally described by the relaxation ratio.
What kind of materials and processes do your rice straw pellet making machine pressing rollers use?
The pressure roller ring die system of the rice straw pellet making machine is the main working part of the ring die pellet machine. Its main components include: ring die, pressure roller, pressure roller support shaft, bearing and sealing end cover, as well as other auxiliary parts.
The pressure roller is one of its main components. It is used in conjunction with the ring die. The two squeeze the raw materials to shape the materials. The selection of the material and basic parameters of the pressure roller is directly related to the performance of the pellet machine, so it is very important.
- Design of the pressure roller of the rice straw pellet making machine. The pressure roller assembly is mainly composed of an eccentric shaft, a pressure roller shell, a rolling bearing, etc. Generally speaking, a ring die pellet machine has at least two pressure rollers in the pelletizing chamber.
- Pressure roller parameters of rice straw pellet machine. The diameter of the pressure roller directly affects the material intake angle during granulation. Therefore, as far as possible, a large-diameter pressure roller should be used. For a two-roller ring-die rice straw pellet press machine, the relationship between the pressure roller diameter d and the inner diameter of the ring die is D >2d. Considering factors such as gap adjustment, d=(0.4~0.485)D is generally selected.
- Rice straw pellet maker machine pressure roller material. RICHI uses high-quality 50 steel and 100Cr6 bearing steel, of which 100Cr6 bearing steel is equivalent to the national standard GCr15. It has exquisite high-temperature quenching technology, good wear resistance and high contact fatigue strength, ensuring the hardness and wear resistance of the pellet machine roller from the source. The service life is at least twice that of ordinary products in the domestic market.
- Rice straw pellet making machine roller technology. Since the working process of the pressure roller is a process of constant friction and extrusion with the material, and when the rice straw granulator is working, the linear speeds of the die and the roller are basically the same, and the diameter of the pressure roller is smaller, so the wear rate of the pressure roller is greater than that of the ring die. In order to replace the mold and roller at the same time as much as possible, the hardness of the pressure roller should be 5-6HRC higher than that of the ring die. The production process of the straw pellet machine pressure roller is equally important.
When selecting a pressure roller, users should ask clearly about the material and process conditions of the pressure roller, and choose a pressure roller with higher wear resistance.
The above is the content of the rice straw pellet making machine pressure roller materials and processes. The pressure roller is a key working part of the pellet machine. If the pressure roller wears too fast, it will not only reduce the pellet forming rate and increase production costs, but also directly affect productivity.
What are the characteristics of rice straw fuel?
The straws used in pellet fuel mainly include: rice straw, wheat straw, cotton straw, etc.
- Pellet appearance: The appearance of rice straw pellet fuel is cylindrical, with a smooth surface and a slight luster. The density is >1, the color is grayish-yellow, the outer diameter is 6 to 9 mm, and the length ranges from 10 to 36 mm.
- When burning rice straw pellet fuel, the core temperature can reach 1100°C, the calorific value can reach 3700-4000 kcal per kilogram, the density is 1.1 tons per cubic meter, and the ash content is <8%. Compared with coal and petroleum, it is also show your unique strengths.
- Rice straw pellet fuel with strong firepower and low residual ash has the characteristics of not deforming or falling apart during combustion, and is easy to burn. Due to high-pressure molding, the pellet density is high, so it is flame-resistant, has strong firepower and high temperature. Coupled with reasonable air distribution and sufficient oxygen supply, secondary combustion can be achieved, so it is pollution-free and has high fuel efficiency. Compared with coal burning, there is less residual ash. The collected residual ash can be directly returned to the fields and used as potassium fertilizer. It is a comparative Ideal clean energy.
- Clean and environmentally friendly. Use rice straw pellet fuel, which is clean, environmentally friendly and has little pollution. When straw pellet fuel is burned, the dust concentration is less than 40 mg per cubic meter, and the sulfur dioxide emissions are 1/15 of coal and 1/7 of fuel. Therefore, using rice straw pellet fuel is an effective way to improve air quality and avoid the greenhouse effect.
- In addition to being easy to transport and store, rice straw pellet fuel is also easy to transport and store. Since the volume of straw is compressed nearly 9 times after being made into pellets, it is easy to transport and store, greatly reducing storage and transportation costs. Rice straw pellet fuel is not prone to mildew in summer, is fire-proof and flame-retardant, and is easy to store for a long time. It can be used as reserve fuel in disaster prevention and prevention.
What design does your rice straw pellet making machine ring die adopt?
- RICHI rice straw pellet making machine adopts a composite ring die structure, that is, the ring die is composed of two layers of materials, the outer layer is 45 steel, and the inner layer is 4Cr13 carburized stainless steel;
- Welding is used to connect the inner and outer materials. When working, the ring mold mainly bears radial load and the axial force is smaller. Therefore, the welding method can meet the reliable connection of the two layers of materials and ensure that the two layers of materials do not axially Relative displacement in the axial and circumferential directions.
- This structure not only brings into play the excellent properties of the material, but also reduces the cost of the material, allowing the ring die to achieve a better cost performance. After testing, the service life of the composite ring die is basically the same as that of the stainless steel ring die, but the cost is only one-third of that of the stainless steel ring die.
RICHI biomass fuel rice straw pellet making machine has excellent performance, and the composite ring die structure can greatly reduce the manufacturing and maintenance costs of the equipment.
I am in the Philippines and want to pelletize rice straw. Can I use the wet pressing molding process at room temperature?
The normal temperature wet pressing molding process is mainly used for straw raw materials with high moisture content. The raw materials are pre-treated before compression molding, that is, the straw raw materials are soaked in water at normal temperature for several days, and the straw fibers become soft, moist and wrinkled through hydrolysis treatment. And partial degradation occurs, thereby improving the compression molding characteristics of the straw raw material.
This technology has been developed to a certain extent in countries such as Thailand and the Philippines, and is called “green carbon”. This process is low-cost and easy to operate, but has shortcomings such as rapid wear of molded parts, high drying costs, and poor product combustion performance.
