Bagasse Pellet Machine – Product Overview

The bagasse pellet machine is a specialized piece of equipment designed to process sugarcane bagasse—a by‑product of sugar mills—into high‑quality biomass fuel pellets. Through an integrated production line comprising crushing, drying, pelletizing, cooling, and packaging, this machine transforms wet bagasse (initial moisture content of 48‑50%) into cylindrical pellets of 6‑12 mm in diameter. The finished pellets deliver a calorific value of 3,400‑5,500 kcal/kg, making them an excellent substitute for conventional fuels like coal and diesel. They are widely used in industrial boilers, power plants, and residential heating systems.

Adopting a bagasse pellet mill not only adds value to agricultural waste but also significantly reduces fuel costs. With its unique advantages—renewability, high energy density, and low emissions—bagasse pellet fuel occupies a strong position in the biomass pellet market and holds broad development potential.

Suitable Raw Materials

While the machine is optimized for bagasse, it can handle a wide variety of biomass materials, including:

  • Wood‑based materials – sawdust, wood shavings, bark, branches, scrap furniture offcuts, and construction template waste from pine, poplar, fir, and other species. These require crushing and screening to a particle size of about 6 mm and moisture content of 10‑15%.

  • Crop residues – corn stover, wheat straw, rice straw, rice husks, peanut shells, cotton stalks, and other agricultural leftovers.

  • Other wastes – textile strips and waste paper from municipal solid waste, sanding dust from forestry operations, as well as medicinal herb residues and mushroom cultivation waste.

Production Process – How to Make Bagasse Pellets

The complete pelleting line follows five essential steps:

  1. Drying – Bagasse waste is first dried to a moisture content of 10‑12%.

  2. Grinding – The dried material is pulverised in a hammer mill fitted with a millimeter‑grade screen to obtain a fine powder.

  3. Pelletizing – For small‑scale production, the powder is fed into the bagasse pellet machine; for large‑scale output, a ring‑die pellet mill is recommended. Under high pressure, the material is forced through the die holes, forming dense cylindrical pellets.

  4. Cutting – A built‑in cutter trims the extruded pellets to uniform length. For household stoves, diameters of 6‑8 mm are preferred; industrial applications typically use 8‑18 mm pellets.

  5. Cooling & Packaging – The hot pellets are cooled and then packed for storage or shipment.

Main Applications

  • Industrial Boilers – The produced bagasse pellets serve as clean fuel for power stations, paper mills, fertilizer plants, and other industrial facilities.

  • Home Heating – As wood pellet manufacturing advances, bagasse pellets help alleviate the shortage of civil heating resources, ensuring a warm and comfortable indoor environment during winter.

  • Animal Feed – With the assistance of a feed pellet mill, bagasse pellets can be formulated into nutritious feed for horses, cattle, dairy cows, and other livestock.

  • Animal Bedding – The pellets also work excellently as absorbent, dust‑free bedding for pets and poultry, providing a cozy and hygienic living space.

Whole Production Line

A complete biomass pellet  production line includes crushing, drying, pelletizing, and packaging units. 

  1. Crushing: Wood blocks, wood chips, or other wood materials are uniformly crushed. This can be done using a wood crusher or shredder to reduce the size of the wood into smaller pieces.
  2. Drying: The crushed wood material is then fed into a drying machine drum through a conveyor belt. The drying process quickly reduces the moisture content of the material to around 12% to 15%. This is important for ensuring the quality of the final wood pellets.
  3. Pelletizing: Once the wood material is dried, it is then fed into a pellet mill. The pellet mill compresses the material under high pressure and heat, forming it into small cylindrical pellets. The pellets are then extruded from the pellet mill.
  4. Packaging: The pellets are discharged from the pellet mill and can be directly connected to a conveyor belt that leads to an automatic packaging machine. The packaging machine packages the pellets into bags

ZZCHRYSO Rice Straw Pellet Machine – FAQ

Answer: Moisture is one of the most decisive factors for pellet formation. Fresh bagasse typically contains 48‑50% moisture. If the moisture after drying remains above 15%, the pellets will be loose, fragile, and energy‑consuming to produce. If it drops below 8%, friction increases sharply, causing excessive wear on rollers and the ring die, and even blocking the die holes. The optimal feed moisture is 10‑12%. We recommend installing an on‑line moisture meter and using a rotary drum or air‑flow dryer with automatic temperature adjustment to ensure uniform drying based on the incoming material’s humidity.

Answer: Common causes and corrective actions include:

  • Moisture too high → intensify drying to reduce water content.

  • Insufficient grinding fineness → check the hammer mill screen and ensure particle size ≤ 6 mm.

  • Unsuitable ring die compression ratio – bagasse is fibrous; a compression ratio of 1:5 to 1:6 is usually recommended.

  • Excessive roller‑die clearance → readjust the gap to 0.1‑0.3 mm.

  • Low material temperature → preheat the feedstock slightly to improve plasticity.
    We suggest monitoring the motor current and outlet temperature during each shift, as sudden changes help pinpoint issues quickly.

Answer: The ring die and rollers are consumable wear parts. Their lifespan depends on the abrasiveness of the raw material, production load, and maintenance practices. When processing bagasse (which is fibrous with some silica content), the ring die usually lasts for 800‑1,200 tonnes of output, while rollers typically last 1.5‑2 times longer. Spare parts costs generally account for 5‑8% of total production expenses. We advise keeping one set of spare ring die and rollers on site and scheduling replacements during routine maintenance shutdowns to minimise downtime. High‑chromium alloy or stainless steel ring dies offer extended service life.

Answer: The choice mainly depends on your daily operating hours and target annual output:

  • CRS608 (2.5‑3 t/h) – suitable for small to medium‑sized plants with daily output ≤ 60 tonnes and annual production of 15,000‑20,000 tonnes, or for in‑house use by sugar mills.

  • CRS788 (4‑4.5 t/h) – ideal for large commercial pellet plants with daily output ≥ 80 tonnes and annual production above 30,000 tonnes.
    Also consider power supply capacity – the CRS788 requires 220 kW, which may demand a transformer upgrade. If you plan a two‑shift operation, the CRS608 is often sufficient; for three‑shift operations with ample space, the CRS788 offers lower specific energy consumption and better long‑term economics.

Answer: Taking the CRS788 as an example, the entire line (including drying, grinding, pelleting, cooling, and packaging) has an installed power of approximately 350‑400 kW. Actual electricity consumption is about 80‑100 kWh per tonne of pellets (at USD 0.08‑0.12/kWh, this equals roughly USD 6‑12/tonne). With an automated system, only 2‑3 operators are needed per shift, adding about USD 3‑5/tonne in labour. Including raw material collection and die wear, total production cost can be controlled within USD 25‑35 per tonne – significantly more economical than coal or natural gas in most regions.

Answer: Yes, due to the heavy weight (CRS788 weighs 13.9 tonnes) and operational vibration, a C30 concrete foundation at least 300 mm thick with embedded anchor bolts is mandatory. Other requirements include:

  • Factory clear height ≥ 4.5 metres for easy die replacement and overhead maintenance.

  • A dedicated power distribution room to handle the high starting current of large motors.

  • Adequate space for material conveying ductwork, dust collection, and safe distance from the heat source (e.g., hot air furnace).
