sunflower husk pellets application
Sunflower husks, also termed as sunflower hulls or kernels, comprise the shells left post-seed extraction. They’re a by-product from processing sunflower seeds. As sunflowers are cultivated worldwide, a substantial amount of seeds is harvested annually. Previously discarded or directly burned as fuel, sunflower husks had a low utilization rate. Yet, with the emergence of biomass pelletizing technology and pellet machines, they’ve emerged as a promising raw material for biomass pellets.
So what specific production capacity do you want to achieve?

Sunflower husk stands out as an excellent material for biofuel pellet production. Primarily cellulose-based, it boasts high calorific value. Moreover, it’s notably dry, reaching ideal moisture content (8-10%) for biomass pelletization, reducing the need for wood sawdust dryers and cutting production costs. However, its 1-3cm uniform size necessitates initial crushing using a small wood hammer mill before pellet processing. Its soft texture makes it easily moldable by biomass pellet machines into fuel pellets.

After pelletizing, allow sunflower husk pellets to cool before storing them for use. Processed by biomass pellet machines, their density increases, enabling longer burning in pellet stoves. With consistent size and shape, these pellets burn efficiently, emitting minimal smoke. Affordable and efficient, sunflower husk pellets provide a clean and comfortable biomass energy experience.
