Coconut Shell Pellet Making Machine & Pellet Plant

Coconut Shell Pellet Making Machine is used to make coconut husk and shells pellets, as fuel, fertilizer and animal beddings.

A coconut includes a shell, fiber, coconut shell, coconut meat, and coconut water. There is a large amount of coconut planting all over the world, after people move coconut water and coconut meat, there is a lot of coconut shell and coconut fiber.

Coconut husk and shells are an attractive biomass fuel and are also a good source of charcoal. Coconut husk has high amount of lignin and cellulose, and that is why it has a high calorific value of 18.62MJ/kg. The chemical composition of coconut husks consists of cellulose, lignin, pyroligneous acid, gas, charcoal, tar, tannin, and potassium.

The major advantage of using coconut pellet biomass as a fuel is that coconut is a permanent crop and available round the year so there is constant whole year supply. Activated carbon manufactured from coconut shell is considered extremely effective for the removal of impurities in wastewater treatment processes.

Coconut shell pellet features less ash, long burning time, large combustion heat and less pollution. Environmental protection is the most important feature.

Because of rich raw materials and convenient processing, the pellets manufactured from coconut shells are widely used to replace fossil energy which will release carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, etc.

There's a huge abundance of coconuts all over the world and it would be a waste of resources if coconut shells are just thrown away or burned. This is why engineers and scientists have come up with an ingenious way of turning coconut shells into reusable materials.

The process is called pelletizing and it involves turning the discarded shells into pellets that can be used in various fields like sustainable energy production, biomass extraction, and agriculture.

For the pelleting process to work, you are going to need what's called a coconut shell pelletizing plant. The setup of the coconut shell pellet factory may look complicated at first glance but it's not, once you learn about the coconut husk pellet mill factory's main components.

The whole coconut shell manufacturing process can be divided into: coconut shell crushing machine - conveyor - dryer – grinding mill - coconut shell pellet machine - cooling machine - screening machine - bin - conveyor - packaging machine.

During the production process of coconut husk pellets, the coconut material should be firstly cut into by the coarse crushing machine, if the moisture content of the material is too high, it should be dried before processing. And then transferred to the grinder by the conveyer for grinding.

Depending on the status of the coconut shell (complete coconut shell, coconut shell chips, coconut shell powder, coconut shell with shredded coconut, coconut bran), the crushing scheme used is different. Please contact us directly for detailed plans.

After it is crushed into powder, and then the materials will be sent to the granulator for particle suppression by a conveyor (or by human labor). After cooling and screening, the materials will be transported to the packaging machine for the packaging of finished products.

01

Crushing process in coconut shell pellet line

Due to the quite hardness of the coconut shell, the coconut shell needs to be crushed from big chunk to small pieces by special coconut shell crusher machine.

02

Drying process in coconut shell pellet processing line

For containing certain moisture, crushed coconut shell enters drying machine through conveyor and feeding machine. The coconut shell dryer can dry off the excess moisture to improve the pellet strength after pelletizing.

03

Second crushing process in coconut shell pellet making line

After drying with the coconut shell biomass drying equipment, the coconut shell pieces need to be crushed again into small fibrous pieces for better pelletizing.

04

Pelletizing process in coconut shell pellet produciton line

After entering coconut shell pellet maker through belt conveyor and feeding machine, the fibrous coconut shell pieces are pelletized into regular pellets by high strength extruding of the coconut shell pellet forming machine.

05

Cooling and packing process in coconut shell pellet plant

Pelletized coconut shell has certain temperature, so it needs to be cooled by coconut shell pellet cooling machine after conveyed by belt conveyor. After cooling, the high quality biomass pellet is packed by the automatic packing machine.

Due to the biomass pellet machine have requirement on features of raw material, so if use ring die pellet maker machine make pellets before sending the coconut shell and coconut fiber to pellet maker, need to make sure raw material is 12-15% moisture and around 5mm size.

If your coconut shell moisture is>15% need to use the dryer to dry them, if the size is>5mm need to use a crusher to refine the size. After the moisture and size are uniformed, use a conveyor send them to our vertical type coconut shell pellet maker machine to make pellets.
