AfricaRice-TCMS Multi-functional Screw Press Briquetter / Pelleter

Description

Rice husk can be processed into wood pellets for use in gasification systems. In areas were rice husk is aready mixed with bran as is the case where Engelberg type mills are common, the husk-bran mixture can be used directly in the pellet production process. However, in areas where husk is separated from husk as is the case where rubber roll mills are used, the required husk-bran mixture can be reconstituted during the pellet production process.

A husk grinder, mixer and motorized pelleter are the equipment required for pellet production. It also important to build drying surfaces and to think about storage containers. Once pellets have been dried, it is important to store in containers that prevent moisture reabsorption.

AfricaRice and TCMS have also developed a multi-functional screw press briquetter/pelleter. The AfricaRice-TCMS motorized screw press briquetter/pelleter has a capacity of 200kg/h and can be used to produce both briquettes and pellets.
