Biomass fuel emerge as a substitute for fossil fuels, which is a potential energy for the world. Among all the raw materials for biomass fuel, rice husk has wide range of sources and better molding effects. Using rice husk pellet presses to make biomass pellets is an effective way to promote resources recycle, and achieve economic effect.
Rice husk is the by-product in rice processing, accounting for 20% the weight of paddy. But there are few ways to process rice husks massively and turn them into wealth, partly because the economic benefits is low or the problems exist in techniques, quality and environment.
To discard rice husk after rice processing is a waste of resource and great economic loss. And they can cause pollution to the environment. How to make full use of rice husks and turn “wastes” into wealth is a great mission for us.
With the increase of peoples’ environmental awareness, we are looking for alternative energy to substitute fossil fuels. Biomass fuels emerge as an ideal solution. They are renewable energy with low emission during combustion.
Among all biomass pellets products, rice husk pellets have advantages in its wide range of sources, low material cost and better molding effects. As a new products of biomass pellets, it boasts better economic, ecological and social effect.
Rice husk pellets appears as cylinders, made by pellet mill from crop husks. According to different material textures, they can be used for biomass fuel or animal feed. As a clean and renewable energy, rice husk pellets have high heat value, discharging less ashes and little sulfur-rich complex after combustion.
This kind of biomass fuel is widely acknowledged across the world. In many countries such as Germany, America and Japan massive production has been achieved. They are widely applied in industrial and agricultural production, including power generation, residential heating, cooking and drying. At present, GEMCO has developed rice husk pellet mill and briquette machine to meet the market demand for new energy equipments.
The nitrogen, sulpher and ash content in rice husk pellets is much lower than coals and oils. With no carbon or smoke emission, biomass fuel is known as “green coal”.
High heat value and combustion efficiency make biomass fuel a popular energy, which has gained vast market place and government support.
It is convenient to process, store and transport biomass pellet fuel because of their small volume and large density.
Rice husk pellets are ideal fuel owing to their high volatile content and carbon activity. The burn-off rate is more than 98%, with little ash or waste heat.
Rice husk pellets are processed by one time molding, dispense of any binder or other chemicals.
That depends on the specialties of rice husk. As we all know, rice husk are hard and wear resistant because of high silicon content. The crude fiber content in rice husk reach up to 40%. To adapt the requirement of processing these raw materials, GEMCO developed specialized rice husk pellet presses. Thanks to vertical feed and rotating roller design, they are free from accumulation of materials. Meanwhile, under uniform force from the rice husk pellet mill, raw materials pressed into pellets of the same size.
