Peanut shell Pellet machine
Introduction to the Peanut shell Pellet machine
Using a peanut shell pelletizer, you no longer need to discard peanut shells; instead, you can transform them into a high-value, marketable product.
Peanut hull pellets are dense and compact, directly replacing coal or wood. While their calorific value is comparable, burning peanut shell pellets emits only one-fifteenth the carbon dioxide of traditional fuels. The remaining ash can also be used to generate organic fertilizer. In short, this equipment truly helps you achieve a dual improvement in environmental protection and economic benefits.
RICHI Machinery peanut shell pellet machine can also be used to process various biomass raw materials. Our sales staff will design a suitable and cost-effective production plan for you free of charge, based on your raw material characteristics, production needs, and investment budget.
What raw materials can a peanut shell pellet machine process?
A peanut shell pellet machine is a specialized piece of equipment for processing peanut shells. However, it can also process various agricultural or forestry wastes. In short, the raw material application range of a peanut shell pelleter is very wide.
Therefore, you can flexibly choose the most affordable and stable-source raw materials based on local resources, effectively reducing your input costs.
- Straw: Corn stalks, peanut vines, wheat straw, peanut vines, etc. The most important agricultural waste. Processed into fuel or feed pellets.
- Shell materials: Peanut shells, rice husks, millet husks, palm shells, coconut shells, etc. High in ash content, ideal for fuel pellets or animal bedding.
- Wood materials: Wood chips, sawdust, branches, furniture waste. Contains natural lignin. After being softened at high temperatures in biomass pellet machines, it can act as a binder for pellet formation. No additional chemical binders are needed.
- Grass materials: Alfalfa, hay, etc. Rich in crude protein, vitamins, and other nutrients, suitable as ruminant feed for cattle and sheep.
When processing raw materials using a pellet machine, two conditions must be met: The raw material size must be appropriate. Especially for longer materials like straw or wood, it’s necessary to pulverize them into 3-5mm powder.
Moisture content must be within the optimal range. 10%-15% moisture content is highly recommended. This prevents the raw material from being too wet, resulting in overly loose pellets, while also preventing it from being too dry, making it difficult to demold.

The raw materials are formed into cylindrical strips through the mutual compression of the ring die and pressure rollers. The adjustable cutter accurately cuts the peanut shells into pellets according to your set size. The entire process requires no manual operation and is extremely simple and convenient.
Core components of the peanut shell pellet machine
The peanut shell pellet machine mainly consists of a feeding system, a pelletizing system, a transmission system, and a protection system. We select high-quality materials and ingenious design to maximize the use of every raw material, precisely and efficiently producing uniform, high-quality pellets.
- Wear-resistant stainless steel material extends equipment life.
- Modular design facilitates timely maintenance.
- Certified by international CE and ISO authorities, quality is guaranteed.
- Factory direct sales, affordable prices.
- Lifetime technical support ensures worry-free production.
Feeding system
The peanut shell pellet making mill is equipped with an arch-breaking feeder and a forced feeder. They use external force to break up the raw materials and force them into the pellet mill, effectively reducing material loss.
Ring die
If you want to process particles of different diameters, we have die holes ranging from 4 to 12 mm to choose from. When changing ring dies, the ring die lift can easily assist with loading and unloading. You only need to press a button.
Granulation system
The ring die, pressure roller, and cutter are key components in pellet formation. To maximize their service life, we use 42CrMo to manufacture these components, which can withstand prolonged wear from the raw materials.
Siemens Motors
The Siemens motor, paired with a frequency converter system, powers the entire equipment. The operating speed is quickly adjusted according to the characteristics of the raw materials. For processing biomass raw materials such as peanut shells, we generally recommend using a 6P or 8P motor.
SKF bearings
Under long-term high-load operation, SKF bearings can ensure stable torque output. The multi-layered sealed dustproof structure completely prevents the intrusion of raw material dust, avoiding wear on critical components.
Safety pin
The safety pin is an emergency braking device. If the machine is overloaded or impurities enter, the safety pin will automatically break, shutting off the main switch and effectively ensuring granulation safety.

Peanut shell pellet production line
A peanut shell feed production line includes cleaning, crushing, drying, cooling, and packaging sections. However, the production line configuration is not static. Based on your production situation, we can adjust the process to the most suitable solution to maximize your production efficiency.
1
Raw material cleaning
Peanut shells may contain stones, silt, and other impurities. Directly adding them can damage both the machinery and the finished product. Therefore, we install peanut shell cleaning equipment to remove these impurities.
2
Peanut shell crusher
This step is optional depending on the size of your raw materials. If your raw materials are already 3-5mm powder, you can granulate them directly. Otherwise, you will need to crush the raw materials in a grinder.
3
Raw material drying
This step ensures that the raw materials entering the pellet mill are at the optimal pelleting humidity. After the damp raw materials are thoroughly mixed with the hot air inside the dryer, the moisture will gradually evaporate and drop to the ideal range (10%-15%).
4
Pelletizing section
Peanut shell pellet machines are ideal equipment for biomass pellet production. They transform loose peanut shells into usable pellets, helping you rapidly expand your energy market.
5
Cooling section
The freshly produced granules are hot and soft. Cool air from inside the cooler rises from the bottom up, quickly removing heat from the granules’ surface and moisture from within. This helps the granules cool and set quickly, extending their storage and transportation time.
6
Finished product packaging
The screening machine separates uniformly sized, dense, and compact particles. These qualified particles can then be directly packaged into bags.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some frequently asked questions. You can also contact us at any time for answers.
In which fields can peanut shell pellet machines be used?
Peanut hull pellet machines have a wide range of applications.
Firstly, they can be used in the energy market. After compression, peanut shells form high-calorific-value, low-dust combustion pellets. Compared to bulk peanut shells, they burn more efficiently, making them ideal for industrial boilers, combustion, and residential heating, among other applications.
The ash left after combustion can be used to make organic fertilizer for crop cultivation.
This equipment can also be used to produce animal bedding. Peanut shells have natural water absorption and deodorizing properties. After compression into pellets, there is no dust irritation, making them more popular than traditional sawdust bedding.
What is the price of a peanut shell pellet machine?
The price of a peanut shell pellet press typically ranges from $15,000 to $50,000. However, it varies depending on the production configuration and output. Generally, the higher the output, the higher the price.
You can inform our sales staff of your raw materials and production needs in detail. They will provide a detailed production plan and the most affordable quote based on your requirements.
Do peanut shell pelleting processes require the addition of binders?
Normally, this is not necessary.
Peanut shells naturally contain lignin. Under the high-temperature extrusion of a peanut shell pellet machine, the lignin gradually softens and creates a binding effect. This binds the loose material together, forming smooth, compact pellets.
However, if your material is drier, or if you want to further increase the hardness of the pellets, you can add a small amount of starch, tapioca flour, etc., to aid in pellet formation.
How is your after-sales service?
We have a comprehensive after-sales service system.
Before shipping, we conduct rigorous testing on each machine to ensure it reaches you in optimal condition.
Furthermore, the equipment comes with a one-year warranty and lifetime technical support. If any problems arise with the equipment, we will dispatch specialists to resolve them within 24-72 hours.
