1 Ton per Hour Coconut Shell Pellet Production Line
As a professional biomass equipment manufacturer, Henan Xuezao Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd. provides a complete solution for producing 1 ton of coconut shell pellets per hour, from raw material crushing to final packaging. Coconut shells are an excellent raw material for biomass pellets, known for their high calorific value and low ash content, making them an ideal coconut shell fuel for industrial boilers and power generation.
Why Choose Coconut Shell for Biomass Pellet Production?
Coconut shells have become one of the most valuable renewable energy sources in tropical countries. After proper processing, they can be converted into coconut shell wood pellets or coconut shell charcoal, widely used as biomass fuel.
Key advantages include:
-
High energy density (calorific value up to 4500–5000 kcal/kg).
-
Low ash content, meeting biomass pellet national standards.
-
Sustainable and cost-effective, utilizing agricultural waste.
Production Process: From Raw Shell to Biomass Pellet
The 1 ton/hour coconut shell pellet line includes the following key steps:
-
Crushing (Coconut Shell Crusher)
The dried shells are crushed into fine powder (below 5 mm) using our high-efficiency coconut shell crusher. This step determines the pelletizing conversion rate and final density. -
Drying (Coconut Shell Dryer)
Moisture is reduced to around 10–12% using a coconut shell rotary dryer. Stable moisture ensures uniform pellet formation and reduces power consumption during pelleting. -
Pelletizing (Ring Die Wood Pellet Machine)
At the heart of the production line is our ring die wood pellet machine, designed for 1 ton per hour capacity.-
Stable structure, Siemens motor, SKF bearings.
-
Suitable for high-hardness materials like coconut shells, palm fiber, or bamboo.
-
-
Cooling & Screening
Fresh pellets are cooled and screened to remove dust, ensuring stable shape and high density. -
Packaging
Automatic packaging system for 15–50 kg bags or bulk storage for transport and sale.
A variety of specifications can be selected and filtered：
| Model | Capacity (t/h) | Motor Power (kW) | Pellet Diameter (mm) | (Weight (kg) |
| XZ-450 | 0.5-0.6T/H | 55kW | 6-12mm | 3.5T |
| XZ-470 | 0.6-1T/H | 75kW | 6-12mm | 4T |
| XZ-560 | 1-1.2T/H | 90kW | 6-12mm | 5.8T |
| XZ-580 | 1.5-1.8T/H | 110kW | 6-12mm | 5.9T |
| XZ-650 | 1.8-2T/H | 132kW | 6-12mm | 6.5T |
| XZ-700 | 2.5-2.8T/H | 160kW | 6-12mm | 7.5T |
| XZ-750 | 2.8-3T/H | 185kW | 6-12mm | 7.8T |
| XZ-850 | 3-3.5T/H | 250kW | 6-12mm | 11T |
| XZ-880 | 5T/H | 315kW | 6-12mm | 16T |
This coconut shell biomass pellet production process ensures consistent production efficiency and high pellet quality.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: How to control the moisture during coconut shell pellet production?
Keep the raw material moisture between 10–12% after drying. Too wet or too dry will affect the forming rate and increase energy consumption.
Q2: What is the investment cost for a 1-ton/hour coconut shell pellet line?
A standard set of machines (crusher, dryer, ring die pellet machine, cooler, packer) costs around USD 30,000–45,000, depending on configuration.
Q3: Can this line also process other materials?
Yes. It can produce pellets from rice husk, palm fiber, sawdust, or wood chips—ideal for biomass pellet plant investors seeking flexibility.
