Malaysian eFB Pellet Market

Malaysia boasts not only large-scale palm cultivation, but also a well-developed palm oil industry. Consequently, it produces vast quantities of empty fruit bunches each year. The local government prioritizes the recycling of this waste material, and considers it a key part of green economic development. Overall, the EFB pellet plant Malaysia holds promising prospects for growth.
Although the EFB pellet factory Malaysia is gradually emerging, the quality of products on the market is inconsistent. Many EFB pellet plants struggle to achieve the ideal pellet formation rate, which often results in loose structures and low calorific values. While EFB pellet production offers the advantages of low cost and high returns, optimizing production technology is equally crucial.
Subsequently, several manufacturers decided to undertook optimization and upgrades. This EFB pellet plant in Malaysia is a case in point. Using the production line solution we provided, this manufacturer has successfully produced higher-quality fuel products. These pellets meet the highest market standards and deliver significant economic benefits to this EFB pellet manufacturing plant Malaysia.
CLIENT PROJECT DETAILS
Our client is a small EFB pellet plant in Malaysia. This project uses empty fruit bunches as raw material, sourced from surrounding oil mills, which have a relatively high moisture content. Their previous production line was simple, making it difficult to ensure consistent output and quality. Consequently, upgrading and optimizing the production line equipment is necessary.
As the client needed to ramp up production quickly, they selected our turnkey solution. Subsequently, after analyzing their production challenges, we provided a highly efficient production line. This line features a powerful drying system, which is ideal for processing their high-moisture empty fruit clusters. The quality of the resulting pellets has also been significantly improved.

The moisture content of the empty fruit clusters is 55%. However, by utilizing our drying equipment, this level can be reduced to the ideal pelleting level of 15%.

The project of empty fruit bunch pellet plant Malaysia is energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. The equipment we provide meets these needs fully, achieving a 20% reduction in energy consumption.


Solutions to Production Issues
The project of EFB pellet plant in Malaysia encountered several challenges during its implementation. These included site height restrictions, the heat source for the drying drum and the storage of pellets to prevent moisture. Ultimately, with the help of our professional engineering team, these issues were resolved.
The following are also common issues encountered in production of most EFB pellet production.

This project requires large-scale units for processing raw materials and conveying equipment. Consequently, the production line requires a lot of space. Our engineers have extensive project experience and have achieved an optimal layout for each process section.

The selection of heat sources for the drying unit has a direct impact on production costs. This EFB pellet plant Malaysia uses production waste as the heat source for drying. This is the most economical and eco-friendly heating method, enabling the maximum utilization of raw materials.

According to the customer, previous EFB pellets were prone to moisture absorption, which affected sales. Therefore, we installed storage bins at critical points. When combined with specialized moisture-proof packaging bags, this provides full protection against moisture.

The client requires EFB pellets with specific mixing ratios. Therefore, we have optimized the pelletizer parameters to achieve the optimal compression ratio. Together with a carbonization treatment unit, this improves the combustion performance of the pellets.
Process Design for the EFB pellet plant in Malaysia:
In order to meet higher standards of pellet quality, we have developed a highly automated EFB pellet production line. This line features robust main equipment, efficient auxiliary devices and control systems. Accordingly, it facilitates highly efficient operation at every stage. It is now the backbone of this EFB pellet plant Malaysia.

01
Crushing
EFB has a high fiber content, which means that direct pelleting would compromise the forming results. Therefore, this section has a powerful crushing unit to convert the material into a powder for easier pelletization.
02
Drying
The customer’s EFB has a relatively high moisture content, so we designed this drying section. By using a drying drum with a hot air furnace as the heat source, they can reduce the moisture content of the raw materials.
03
Pelletizing
We offer high-efficiency EFB pellet machine, which has a production capacity of 1.8–2.0 T/H. It produces EFB pellet with a perfect structure. When paired with a 4 m³ storage bin, this ensures a smoother integration process.
04
carbonizing
To meet customers’ higher standards for pellet quality, a specialized carbonization process is employed in this stage. This results in upgraded EFB pellets that deliver superior combustion performance.
05
screening
To ensure optimal pellet specifications, we have installed a high-frequency vibrating screen for our customers. This unit connects to the prior and subsequent processing stages via a Z-type bucket elevator.
06
Packaging
We provide our customers with a fully automatic packaging scale. This equipment helps to reduce labor costs. It features a front-mounted storage bin with a capacity of 2mÂł for finished pellets.
Configuration for this project
For this project of EFB pellet plant Malaysia, the client required high energy efficiency and a high level of automation in the configuration. Consequently, we provided robust raw material handling equipment, high-efficiency pellitizer and automated packaging machinery. These solutions, combined with auxiliary systems, enabled the biomass pellet plant to achieve their production goals.
01
Crushing System
