Feed Inlet

01

The design of the feed inlet ensures smooth and stable entry of raw materials into the efb pellet mill. Its wide structure in conjunction with the inverter-driven motor minimizes the risk of clogging and improves operating efficiency. The adjustable inlet controller allows for precise adjustment of the feed rate, which is essential for maintaining uniform efb pellet production and adapting to different feedstocks.

Force Feeder

02

Organic biomass raw materials are usually a very fine and lightweight powder after the raw material processing. The emergence of forced feeders greatly improves the feeding efficiency and provides a strong guarantee for the pelletizing process. It ensures the continuity and consistency of pellet production.

Pelletizing

03

The core function of pelletizing is to compress raw materials into dense pellets. Adjustable mold sizes allow for the production of pellets of varying diameters to meet the needs of different industry applications. High compression technology ensures uniform and consistent pellet quality, reduces waste, and maximizes nutrient density, making it ideal for large-scale efb pellet production.

Drive Motor

04

The drive motor is the power unit of the pelletizing machine, providing the necessary torque to maintain a consistent pelletizing yield. It features a high-efficiency, energy-efficient motor that reduces power consumption while providing reliable performance under heavy loads. The durable motor design ensures long-term operation with minimal maintenance, reducing overall production costs.

Body Structure

05

The body structure of the efb pellet mill is built from robust, corrosion-resistant materials to withstand continuous use in demanding environments. It is engineered to reduce vibrations during operation, which not only enhances machine stability but also minimizes wear and tear on internal components. This structural integrity ensures a longer lifespan and more reliable performance of the efb pellet mill.

Feeding systems

The frequency conversion feeding system with anti-arching improves the continuity and consistency of the raw material conveyed to a large extent. At the same time there is still a forced feeder escorting the feeder before pelletizing. This improves the yield and quality of the efb pellet production from the source.

Drive system

High-end Siemens industrial grade drive motor drives the drive shaft of RICHI efb pellet mill, which is more stable and durable than traditional belt drive. In the long run, this not only improves efficiency but also saves maintenance costs.

Structure and material

The body of the machine is made of high quality and high specification alloy steel, which is sturdy and durable, reduces resonance and runs stably. The parts that come into contact with the raw material are made of high grade stainless steel, which does not affect the raw material in any way and greatly improves corrosion resistance.

EFB Pellet Machine FAQs: Your Top Questions Answered

An EFB pellet machine is designed to turn empty fruit bunches—the fibrous waste left over from palm oil production—into dense biomass pellets. These pellets are used as eco-friendly fuel in boilers, power plants, or even sold to industries using biomass heating systems. The machine compresses shredded, dried EFB fiber into small, uniform pellets without chemicals—just heat and pressure. Instead of letting that mountain of EFB rot or burn, you’re turning it into profit and sustainability. Pretty smart, right?

That’s a fair concern—and yes, raw EFB is tough and high in fiber, but with proper pre-treatment, it actually makes great biomass pellets. We recommend shredding and drying the EFB first to reduce fiber length and bring moisture down to around 12–15%. Once that’s done, our pellet mill for EFB handles it like a champ. Clients in Malaysia and Indonesia have been running our systems for years to produce durable, clean-burning pellets—perfect for local use or export.

Yes, that’s the beauty of it. If you're already in the palm oil industry, you’ve got access to tons of free raw material—and you’re halfway there. You’ll just need to shred the EFB, dry it, and then feed it into an EFB pellet making machine. If you’re not set up yet, we can help you plan a full EFB pellet production line, including shredders, dryers, and conveyors. It's a great way to turn waste into a secondary business.

It depends on your scale. For a small setup, say 500–1000 kg/h, the cost is very reasonable—even for first-timers. For larger EFB pellet production lines (1–5 tons/hour), the investment goes up, but so does the return. We always provide clear, detailed quotes based on your site, power supply, and budget. In Malaysia, many customers start small, learn the ropes, then scale up once sales pick up. So no worries—you don’t have to break the bank to start.

The pellets you make from EFB can be used as:

  1. Biomass fuel in boilers or power plants
  2. Industrial heating in cement factories or food processing
  3. Exported to countries like South Korea, Japan, and Europe, where biomass demand is high

We’ve had customers in Thailand and East Malaysia exporting container loads of EFB pellets to Japan for green energy. So yes, the market is real—and growing fast, especially with global interest in renewables and carbon neutrality.

A full EFB pellet production line usually includes:

  1. EFB shredder or crusher – breaks it into manageable fibers
  2. Drying system – brings moisture to the ideal level
  3. Buffer bin or feeder
  4. EFB pellet mill – compresses the dried fiber into pellets
  5. Pellet cooler – drops pellet temperature for safe storage
  6. Screener & bagging machine – packs pellets for sale

We customize every line based on your capacity goals—whether it’s 500 kg/h or 5 tons/h. Everything is designed to run smoothly, even in tropical climates.

Not at all! Most of our customers are new to pelletizing. The pellet machine for EFB is designed to be user-friendly, and we provide full operator training—either onsite or online. You’ll get easy-to-follow manuals, WhatsApp support, and a maintenance schedule. In fact, one customer in Johor told us, “Our staff were handling oil palm waste one week, and making pellets the next.” With the right guidance, it’s a smooth learning curve.

For a compact line (500–1000 kg/h), you can start with around 100-200 square meters. For bigger capacities, like 2–3 tons/hour, you’ll need 300–500 square meters to allow space for drying, raw material storage, and finished pellet handling. We’ll help you design a custom layout based on your actual land, so you're not guessing. We've set up plants in tight factory lots and in large rural palm plantations—whatever your site looks like, we can adapt.

Yes, it’s profitable—especially if your EFB is already “free” from your palm mill or factory. The cost of running the machine is mainly electricity, labor, and packaging. The selling price of EFB pellets in Southeast Asia can range from USD 90–120 per ton, and much higher for export-grade product. Many customers recover their investment in 12–24 months, depending on output and market access. We’ll help you do the math before you start—so you go in with eyes wide open.

You’re not buying a machine—you’re getting a complete solution. Here's what we provide:

  1. Customized plant design based on your space and needs
  2. Installation guidance (onsite or remote)
  3. Operator training
  4. Spare parts availability
  5. Troubleshooting and follow-up support (via WhatsApp, email, or call)
  6. Advice on EFB pre-processing and pellet market strategy
