Professional EFB Pellet Machine
RICHI EFB pellet machine boasts exceptional pelletising capability, producing densely compacted pellets. It not only extends the fuel’s combustion duration, but also facilitates transportation and storage, ensuring greater durability. Thus, it is an environmentally beneficial pelletising solution.
Empty fruit bunches provide an abundant supply of raw material, offering seven times the volume of natural timber. Our innovative EFB pellet machine transforms these into high-quality pellet fuel. This enhances thermal efficiency while avoiding the environmental pollution caused by direct combustion.
Empty fruit bunches are made up mainly of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, with a moisture content of around 65%. Our pelletiser uses a high-temperature process where the steam environment maximises the binding properties of lignin. This results in higher pellet formation rates and increased production efficiency.
How Does an EFB Pellet Machine Operate?
Each RICHI EFB pellet machine is the result of years of innovative research and development, as well as rigorous testing. We are committed to providing you with reliable, high-performance pellet machines.
Our pelletisers have been meticulously engineered to deliver superior pelletisation results.
Due to the substantial size, empty fruit bunches present challenges to direct pelletisation. Therefore, it is essential that the feedstock entering the pelletiser has been crushed first. The standard particle size should be 3–5 mm, or reduced to a finer powder. To ensure smooth progression of processed material into the pelletisation stage, the feed inlet incorporates an arch-breaking device.
Here, the conditioning effect of high-temperature steam fully releases the lignin within the material. Once the desired viscosity level is reached, the material enters the pelletising chamber. A forced feeding device at the inlet pushes any accumulated material into the chamber. The material is then efficiently fed into the die through the powerful compression of the dual roller system.
Thanks to multiple innovative improvements, the mould now produces the desired diameter for EFB pellets. The roller system continuously compresses cylindrical raw material, extruding it through the aperture. At this stage, blades inside the housing start to operate and cut the material into uniformly sized pellets.
These pellets are then discharged via the outlet beneath the pelletising chamber under the force of gravity. You may then inspect the pellets to ensure they meet your requirements. If further refinement is necessary, the pellets can be reintroduced through the feed inlet above the pelletising chamber for further processing. Our EFB pellet machine delivers production outcomes that will exceed your expectations.

eFB Pellet Production Line
EFB pellet machine is the core piece of equipment in EFB pellet production line. We offer comprehensive production line solutions with throughput capacities ranging from 0.6 to 100 T/H, capable of efficiently processing diverse raw materials. This production line delivers stable and consistent output of high-quality pellets through scientifically organised process stages. We also provide turnkey production solutions tailored to your needs.
01
Crushing
Empty fruit bunches are very bulky, which makes direct pelletisation impractical. Consequently, we have added a dedicated crushing stage. This stage uses high-efficiency crushers to reduce the material to fine particles measuring 3–5 mm, which facilitates subsequent pellet formation.
02
Drying
Fresh EFB contains around 65% moisture. Direct pelletisation would be ineffective due to poor formation. Consequently, this stage incorporates a large-capacity drying drum. This can dry large quantities of material at once, controlling the moisture content to the ideal range of 15-18%.
03
Pelletizing
As the core equipment in this production line, our EFB pellet machine boasts exceptional performance. We have enhanced its ring die and roller system. So that, when combined with the action of high-temperature steam at 80°C, it can produce premium-quality pellets that meet the highest standards.
04
Cooling
Pellets manufactured in a high-temperature steam environment are usually moist and soft. Our range of cooling units rapidly reduces their temperature to ambient levels. This preserves the optimal structure of the pellets, facilitates packaging and transport, and minimises the risk of deterioration.
05
Screening
A range of screening units designed for this stage are available. Screening retains standard-sized finished pellets to ensure marketability. Fines can be re-pelletised to conserve material costs. The vibrating screens can be integrated with coolers to save space.
06
Packaging
You can select packaging scales with varying levels of automation to suit your needs. Our fully automated scales can weigh and package items independently, ensuring consistent specifications and reducing labour costs. Packaging options include heat-sealed pouches or conventional bags.

What is involved in the daily maintenance of an EFB pellet machine? What is the service life of its key components?
This equipment has a scientifically designed structure that makes routine maintenance simple and convenient. Primary tasks include periodically lubricating critical areas and inspecting components for wear. The parts most susceptible to wear are the press rollers and ring die. These require regular observation and replacement based on operational frequency.
The service life of these parts depends on the abrasiveness of the raw material, how frequently it is used, and how it is maintained. Our ring die components are manufactured from corrosion-resistant alloy materials, thereby extending their operational lifespan. We operate a global spare parts network to ensure the rapid delivery of replacement components.
–
How are EFB pellet machines different from wood pellet machines?
We have adjusted the internal structure and pelletisation process of our equipment to accommodate differing feedstocks. EFB pellet mills are designed for high-fibre, low-lignin materials, while wood pellet mills are optimised for lignin-rich woody substrates and achieve higher natural formation rates.
Our EFB pellet mill has undergone specialised optimisation to handle the challenge that long fibres in EFB present in terms of forming. For example, the forced feeding and arch-breaking systems have been reinforced and the die compression ratio enhanced. Using our equipment, you can achieve more efficient and stable production results.
–
What safety precautions should be observed when operating an EFB pellet machine?
It is essential to follow the operating manual for the equipment strictly. The following are key safety points:
Ensure that the raw materials are clean to prevent contaminants, such as metal or stones, from entering the pelletising process and causing unnecessary wear to the equipment.
Before starting up, check that all components are securely fastened. Our equipment incorporates overload protection devices, so do not open the housing or rotate any moving parts during operation.
Should the EFB pellet mill exhibit abnormal vibration or noise while running, cease operation immediately and carry out an inspection. Before undertaking any inspection or maintenance work, ensure that the power supply has been safely disconnected.
