Sustainable Straw Pelletizing Solutions

While the main feedstock is EFB (empty fruit bunches), our pellet line can also handle palm fiber, palm kernel shells (PKS), and mixed palm waste — as long as the materials are properly crushed and dried. RICHI Machinery customizes each EFB pellet production line based on your specific feedstock to ensure consistent, high-efficiency pellet production regardless of material variation.

Yes, EFB is tough, but it’s absolutely pelletizable with the right technology. RICHI’s EFB pellet machines are built with high-pressure ring die systems and specialized conditioners that handle the spongy, high-silica nature of palm waste. The result? Durable, low-ash EFB pellets that burn cleanly and can be stored, bagged, and exported without crumbling.

For a palm oil mill producing around 20–30 tons of EFB per day, a 2–5 TPH EFB pellet production line is typically the best fit. We offer EFB pelletizing solutions from 1 to 20 TPH, depending on how much raw material you plan to use, and how much space and power you have available. We also help you assess whether to start small and expand later.

Yes — proper pre-treatment is critical. Palm EFB needs crushing, drying, and sometimes shredding before entering the pellet mill. RICHI Machinery designs a front-end process with fiber crushers, rotary dryers, and screening systems to stabilize your raw material. This prevents clogging and maximizes pellet density and line efficiency.

A typical 5TPH EFB pellet plant needs around 1,500–2,000 m², 300–450 kW of total power, and 4–5 workers per shift. We include full layout designs and utility specs in our project proposal so you can plan your facility, budget, and infrastructure accurately from day one.

After signing the order, we usually deliver equipment within 40–60 days. Installation takes 4–6 weeks, depending on project size. If your site is prepared (foundation and power in place), your EFB pellet plant can begin production within 90–120 days from contract to commissioning.

RICHI’s quotations are fully transparent. We include all core equipment, conveyors, control systems, layout drawings, on-site installation, and training. Optional equipment like bagging systems or automation features are clearly marked. There are no hidden charges — you’ll know exactly what you’re getting for your investment.

We ship a 1–2 year spare parts package with every EFB pellet production line. We also support you remotely through WhatsApp, video, and email 7 days a week. Our EFB pellet machines use globally available parts (like Siemens motors), and if needed, we can send a RICHI engineer to your site. Our goal is to keep your line running, not just sell and disappear.

Yes, we’ve delivered EFB pelletizing solutions across Southeast Asia, South America, and Africa. We’re happy to arrange a reference visit or share videos, photos, and full project documentation. This gives you confidence in the equipment quality, installation experience, and real-world output.
