Bamboo Pellet Mill
Product Introduction
Wear-resistant Bamboo Pellet Mill
Capacity: 0.2-4 T/H
A bamboo pellet mill is a machine specifically designed to process bamboo raw materials. It is suitable for bamboo, a material with strong fibrous toughness. The ring die and pressure rollers press and rub the material strongly. This generates heat. The heat softens and binds the lignin inside the bamboo. The material finally forms cylindrical pellets.
RICHI bamboo pellet making machines have a sturdy structure and strong wear resistance. They can also produce bamboo pellets of different sizes. These pellets can be used as biomass fuel. They have low ash content and stable combustion.

Bamboo Pellet Mill Components Highlights
What makes RICHI bamboo pellet mills wear-resistant, efficient, and stable in operation? The answer lies in some unassuming structural parts. We have carefully researched and designed these parts. They play a crucial role in making bamboo pellets.
Feed Inlet
This area is equipped with a variable-frequency arch-breaking feeder. The opening has been widened. The purpose is to let raw materials flow down smoothly.
Forced Feeder
It is installed above the chute and driven independently by a motor. Its job is to force materials into the pelletizing chamber. It prevents blockage.
Ring Die
The surface has many round holes of the same diameter. By changing the ring die, you can change the diameter of the finished bamboo pellets.
Pressure Roller
The roller surface has anti-slip grooves. They enhance the ability to bite and grip materials. They reduce slipping of bamboo raw materials. Molding becomes more stable.
Cutter
The blade angle has been optimized. It is not easy to snag long bamboo fibers. The distance from the blade to the ring die surface is adjustable. This controls pellet length.
Main Motor
The main motor provides power for the bamboo pellet making machine. It has sufficient torque and strong overload resistance. It ensures bamboo raw materials are pressed stably.
Suitable Raw Materials
RICHI bamboo pellet mills are powerful. They can process various common high-fiber bamboo raw materials. They can also process other mixed biomass raw materials. If you have needs, you can also contact us for customized solutions.

Bamboo Pellet Mill Advantages
RICHI bamboo pellet mills have been successfully sold to many countries around the world. We have accumulated a wide range of customer cases. We have helped customers increase income. We have received widespread praise. In essence, all this comes from the advantages of the mill itself.
This pellet mill is equipped with a 42CrMo alloy steel ring die. After carburizing and quenching heat treatment, its hardness can reach HRC58-62. Its wear resistance is better than ordinary stainless steel. It can easily handle the pain point that bamboo has high silicon content and easily wears equipment.
Long Service Life
When choosing a suitable bamboo pellet mill, you should not only check whether pelletizing is efficient and finished product quality is good. You should also pay attention to its safety. RICHI bamboo pellet making machines are equipped with safety pins. If iron blocks and other impurities enter the machine, or if overload occurs due to too much feeding, the safety pin will shear off. This triggers an emergency stop of the equipment. It protects expensive parts such as the ring die, pressure rollers, and main shaft from damage.
High Safety
RICHI bamboo pellet machines can process various bamboo materials. They support pelletizing a single raw material. They also support mixed production with other agricultural and forestry waste. They are suitable for bamboo shavings, bamboo tips, sawdust, straw, and more. They flexibly respond to changes in raw material supply. They improve raw material utilization. They help achieve diversified monetization.
High Compatibility with Raw Materials
Bamboo Pellet Production Process
If you are new to bamboo pelletizing, you may wonder: what is a complete bamboo pellet production process like? Below are several important production stages. Almost all of them are indispensable.
01.
Crushing
Each customer uses different raw materials. They may be bamboo joints, bamboo shavings, or bamboo chips. If the raw material is large, it first needs to be crushed into 3-5 mm powder. This cuts bamboo fibers. It helps the material enter later stages smoothly. It prevents wear and damage to the machine.
02.
Drying
Some customers use freshly cut bamboo tips as raw materials. Or the raw materials may become damp due to storage conditions. If such high-moisture raw materials are used directly for pelletizing, the pellets will be loose and not form well. They will block the ring die of the bamboo pellet machine. In this case, drying is especially important.
03.
Pelletizing
No matter what size your factory is, this step is essential if you produce bamboo pellets. The pelletizing step needs a bamboo pellet mill. Bamboo powder is pressed by the ring die and pressure rollers. Friction generates heat. This softens and binds the lignin in the bamboo material. The material is then extruded through the ring die holes and forms long pellets.
04.
Cooling
After pelletizing, the pellets generally need to be cooled. This is because bamboo pellets coming out of the pellet mill have some temperature and are soft. They are not suitable for direct storage. Otherwise, there is a risk of breakage. The cooling step can quickly lower the pellets to room temperature. It also makes the pellet structure more stable.
05.
Screening
Screening not only ensures the quality of bamboo pellets themselves. Their appearance also affects whether many customers can get more economic benefits. This step removes broken pellets, fine powder, and oversized pellets. It makes the finished product look more uniform and consistent.
06.
Packing
To reduce labor costs and make finished pellets easier to store and transport, we suggest you do not ignore the importance of packing. This step is the last step in the whole production process. It weighs, bags, and seals qualified pellets after screening in batches according to a certain weight.
Auxiliary Equipment for Bamboo Pellet Production
As mentioned earlier, producing high-quality bamboo pellets requires a series of complete steps and processes. Accordingly, besides the bamboo pellet mill, a series of auxiliary equipment is also needed. You can decide whether to add corresponding equipment according to your own needs.

Bamboo Grinder
Raw Material Dryer

FAQ
If you want to know more about bamboo pellet mills, you can browse the common questions and answers below. You can also contact us directly. Professional engineers will answer your questions online.
Will bamboo from different origins affect the pelletizing effect?
→
Yes, there will be differences. Bamboo from different producing areas may have different silicon content and fiber hardness. The higher the silicon content, the easier the ring die and pressure rollers wear. We support trial runs. If you are not sure how your raw material will perform in bamboo pellet production, you can contact us and send raw materials for a trial run.
Does the capacity listed on the bamboo pellet making machine represent the capacity of bamboo shavings? Can it actually be achieved during production?
→
The capacity on the bamboo pellet press machine nameplate is tested when moisture content, raw material size, and cleanliness all meet the standards. If your raw material contains a lot of mud and sand, or has too high moisture content, it will affect final actual capacity. Therefore, we recommend that you fully process the raw material before pelletizing.
Is a dust removal system required when producing bamboo pellets?
→
Yes. During bamboo pellet production, dust is usually generated at crushing and screening points. Therefore, dust removal systems should be installed mainly in the pre-treatment and finished product screening sections. This can meet workshop environmental protection requirements. It can also reduce dust entering equipment bearings and causing wear.
How do I choose the appropriate ring die hole diameter?
→
Our bamboo pellet mill can produce 4-12 mm pellets. Common bamboo pellet diameters on the market are 6-10 mm. By use, 6-8 mm pellets are mostly used in small boilers and fireplaces. 8-10 mm bamboo pellets are more suitable for large industrial boilers.
Besides being used as biomass fuel, are bamboo pellets used for other purposes?
→
Some high-quality bamboo powder can be processed into bamboo cat litter and seedling substrate. Pure bamboo pellets without impurities (such as carbonized bamboo charcoal pellets) can be used as organic fertilizer carriers. However, these uses all have high requirements for raw material cleanliness. If you have such needs, welcome to contact us for a customized solution for bamboo pelletizer machines.
