EFB Pellet Plant

EFB Pellet Plant

Background of EFB pellet mills

Palm trees are extensively planted across tropical areas of Asia, Africa, Arab Countries, and South America, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Nigeria are the top three countries planting Palm trees.

Palm fiber, empty fruit bunch (EFB), palm kernel and palm resides are the main by-products of palm oil extraction. These by-products are ideal biomass material to make biomass fuel pellets, the finished EFB pellets are efficient with high heating value and clean when burning. Now, the EFB pellets have wide applications such as power plant, boiler, household BBQ rack, or centralize steam boiler, home heating., etc. Therefore, pelletizing EFB into biofuel pellets can save you a lot of energy and help you make a profit.

Advantages of EFB pellets produced from our pellet mill:

• 1. Low moisture content. The moisture of the EFB pellet is around 7-9% whereas the moisture is 50-60% for the original EFB or palm tree. This means saving transportation costs because of the reduced weight of moisture.

• 2. Smaller volume. Because of the compression, the volume of 1MT EFB pellets is much smaller than 1 MT EFB or a palm tree, so it is easier to transfer the pellets and save money during transportation.

• 3. Higher heating value. Since the EFB pellet's bulk density is higher and moisture is lower than EFB or palm tree, so the heating value of EFB pellets is much higher, as a result, the EFB pellets produced from our pellet mill have a heating value of 4000-5000Kcal.

• 4. The wide usage and huge demand for EFB pellets. The EFB pellets are good biofuel for boilers, powerplants, and home heating, also because it is clean energy, during burning there is extremely small quantity ash and smoke, there is nearly no pollution to the environment, so the EFB pellets have huge demand from Europe countries, North America, Japan, South Korea.

How to produce EFB pellets:

1. To handle the size of EFB

Process the size of palm empty fruit bunch (EFB), Palm tree, Palm kernels, and residues from palm oil extraction to 3-5mm size, since 3-5mm is the best size to make EFB pellets. In this process EFB shredder and hammer mill are necessary since the palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) size is big, usually, we use an EFB shredder to shredding it first turn the EFB to fiber or turn the palm tree into wood chips, then use the hammer mill to turn these fiber and chips to 3-5mm size.

The EFB shredder is updated from a drum wood chipper, which can chip wood into wood chips as well as shredding the EFB to fiber.

2. To reduce the moisture of EFB

Since the palm empty fruit bunch (EFB), Palm tree, Palm kernels, and residues from palm oil extraction have high moisture content like 40-60%, so use this material to make pellets an effective dryer is needed, usually the rotary drum dryer is the best solution to dry the moisture of EFB material to 12-15%, as 12-15% moisture content is the best moisture to make EFB pellets.

3. To make EFB pellets

We have two kinds of pellet mills to make EFB pellets, the horizontal ring die pellet mill and vertical ring die pellet mill, they are both efficient to make good quality pellets from EFB material.

Due to the output of pellet mill, we have 1t/h EFB pellet plant, 1.5t/h EFB pellet plant, 2t/h EFB pellet plant, 3t/h EFB pellet plant and 4-5t/h EFB pellet plant for your choice.

As a starter or beginner, the 1t/h EFB plant is a very good choice, because the investment in the machines is low and to install the machines need a relatively small factory.

If you are experienced with EFB pellets and have a market or client for the big demand of EFB pellets, the 4-5t/h EFB pellet plant is good for your choice, we also can design a larger capacity EFB pellet plant as your requirement.

4. To cooling down the EFB pellets and pack the EFB pellets into bags.

The counter flow cooler is necessary for EFB pellet production, from the pellet mill the EFB pellets are hot can not pack into bags directly, so a counter flower cooler is needed to cool the pellets to room temperature then pack them into bags.
