200-300kg/h feed pelleting line helps Mali turn waste to wealth

Is your rice mill or farm being overwhelmed by mountains of waste? These rice husks and straw not only incur high disposal costs but also occupy valuable space, continuously eroding your profits. Now, a compact and efficient feed pelleting line is helping a rice mill in Mali turn 95% of its waste into gold. Please see the details below.

Customer background and challenges

Our customer is a growing rice mill located in Mali, West Africa, which supplies rice to the local market on a stable basis.

Behind business growth lies an increasingly severe waste management issue. After daily production, mountains of rice husks pile up with no place to store them, not only occupying production space but also posing a fire hazard. The labor and transportation costs required to handle this waste represent an ongoing “cost black hole” for the company.

Solution: 200-300kg/h feed pelleting line

We offer a compact solution consisting of a “crusher + granulator.” Its core value lies in its low threshold and high efficiency, allowing customers to quickly deploy and generate benefits without the need for large-scale factory renovations.

Step 1: efficient pre-processing: 9FQ hammer mill

Function: efficiently crush loose, irregular raw materials such as rice husks into uniform fine powder. This is the most critical pre-processing step before pelletization, ensuring the density and quality of the final pellets.

Value: simple and durable structure with high processing efficiency, serving as the “reliable engine” of the entire feed pellet production line.

Step 2: stable forming: flat die pellet mill (Model-210)

Function: the crushed material is compressed under high pressure to form cylindrical pellets with high density and uniform size. By replacing the mold, pellets of different specifications can be produced for fuel or feed applications.

Value: stable operation with controllable energy consumption. The produced pellets are firm and smooth, suitable for direct sale as animal feed, offering high commercial value.

Why recommend this combination: feed pellet production line?

”Grinding+pelletizing” is the most classic and efficient process for handling agricultural waste. This feed pelleing line(9FQ grinder+210-type flat die pelletizer) offers significant advantages:

• Compact footprint: the overall layout is compact, with minimal requirements for existing workshops.
• Low energy consumption: total power consumption (5.5 kW+7.5 kW), with controllable operational costs.
• Quick return on investment: low equipment investment, combined with nearly zero-cost raw materials, significantly shortens the investment payback period.

Remarkable results: 95% of waste converted into commercial products

The introduction of this feed pelleting line has brought about a fundamental transformation for the Mali rice mill.

• Quantified results
  • The factory successfully converted over 95% of rice milling waste into biomass pellet fuel, which is in high demand in the local market.
• Economic analysis
  • Previously, the factory spent X annually on waste disposal, which is now completely eliminated.
  • Additionally, annual sales of pellets generate an extra Y in net income. A previously ongoing cost item has been successfully transformed into a new, sustainable profit center.

After the equipment began operating smoothly, the factory manager excitedly told us,

“This equipment has completely changed our perspective on waste. It is no longer a burden but our second production line—a new business we had never considered before.”
