Sustainable Straw Pelletizing Solutions

Yes — and we design your straw pellet production line around those challenges. For example, if your straw has inconsistent moisture, we’ll size the dryer accordingly and include a moisture meter. If it’s mixed with sand, stones, or plastic, we add pre-cleaning steps. If the straw length varies (some baled, some chopped), we adjust the crushing stage. We’ve handled everything from corn stalks in Kenya to wheat straw in Germany — and no two materials are the same. The key is to stabilize the material before it hits the pellet mill, and that’s where our expertise makes the difference.

That’s a very fair concern. Straw is low in natural binders and very fibrous, so cheap pellet mills often produce dusty, weak pellets. Our system is different: we use a high-pressure ring die pellet mill with a powerful gearbox and customized die compression ratio suited for straw. We also optimize the conditioning process — adjusting temperature, retention time, and moisture — so the pellets bind properly without needing glue or additives. The result is dense, smooth pellets with low fines — suitable for bagging, transport, and combustion in both industrial and domestic boilers.

Great question — and we’ll be honest. The biggest mistake is underestimating how important material preparation is. People focus on the pellet mill, but if the straw isn’t cleaned, crushed, and dried properly, you’ll get clogging, downtime, and poor pellets. Another issue is ignoring maintenance access — buying a compact design that’s hard to service later. That’s why we always start with a full material and process assessment, and we don’t just sell machines — we sell systems that are workable, maintainable, and scalable. We’d rather say no to a rushed project than let you make an expensive mistake.

You don’t need a technical team — we’ll train your workers on-site as part of the installation process. Our engineers stay with you until your team can safely run the line, troubleshoot basic issues, and perform daily maintenance. Most of our customers are operating with just 3–4 workers per shift, and many had no prior pellet experience. We also provide SOP manuals and ongoing support via video call, WhatsApp, or even remote monitoring (if you install automation). The system is designed to be user-friendly, and our goal is to make you independent, not dependent on us.

Absolutely. Before we even give you a final quotation, we send a full proposal that includes layout drawings, power consumption per machine, dust collection requirements, number of workers per shift, and even forklift paths if needed. For example, a 5-ton/hour straw pellet line might need about 1,500 m² of floor space, 300–400 kW of total power, and 3–5 workers per shift. We adjust this based on your automation level, labor costs, and how raw material is fed in. You’ll know exactly what resources are needed, so there are no surprises when construction starts.

This happens far too often — people buy online without customization, and end up with machines designed for wood pellets or different straw types. That’s why we don’t sell from a catalog. Instead, we ask about your raw material (even down to particle size and moisture), your daily supply, local pellet standards (calorific value, length, diameter), and your market (fuel, bedding, export). Based on this, we configure the crushing system, dryer, pellet mill die compression, and cooling method. The result is a production line that works for your real-world conditions, not just what looks good on paper.

We provide a full breakdown — machine list, flow chart, layout, shipping terms, electrical list, and foundation requirements. Everything from feeding conveyors to pellet cooling is covered. The only things not included are site-specific works like civil foundation, local wiring, or licensing, which we always flag in advance. You’ll never get a surprise cost halfway through. We also include optional items like bagging systems or automation as add-ons — not forced into the base price. What you see in our offer is what you’ll need to start production.

Typically, production takes 40–60 days depending on your configuration. Shipping depends on your country (20–45 days by sea), and installation usually takes 3–5 weeks. If your site is prepared (foundation done, electricity ready), you can go from deposit to first pellets in as little as 90–120 days. We help you plan this schedule from the beginning so logistics, site prep, and delivery align smoothly — you won’t be waiting around while your machines collect dust in port.

This is a serious concern, and we prepare for it from day one. First, we include 1–2 years’ worth of wear parts with your delivery — dies, rollers, bearings, belts. Second, our machines use standard components (like Siemens motors, SKF bearings), so replacements are easy to source locally. Third, our after-sales engineers are on call 7 days a week for video diagnosis or documentation. And if needed, we can send a technician to your site. Our goal is to keep you running — not leave you hanging when something goes wrong.
