Why Use PKS Material to Make Biomass Pellets?
The main palm living areas are Indonesia, Malaysia, and other tropical countries. Palm kernel shells (PKS) are the shell fractions left after the kernel has been removed after crushing in the Palm Oil mill. When made into PKS pellets, they can be a reliable biofuel resource with a lot of advantages:
▶ High calorific value: The calorific value of palm kernel shell can reach 4600 kilocalories per kilogram. Besides, palm kernel shells contain residues of Palm Oil, which accounts for their slightly higher heating value than average lignocellulosic biomass.
▶ Environment Friendly: PKS material contains no sulfur and phosphorus, thus no sulfur dioxide and phosphorus pentoxide are created when burning; and it is totally zero air & environmental pollution.
▶ Low moisture and ash content: The moisture content is less than 8.4%, while the ash content is less than 3%. The combustion is sufficient, more suitable for a large boiler.

    PKS Pellet Plant Main Equipment and Configuration

    Palm Kernel Shell Pellets PKS Pellet Production Line

    1. Pre-cleaning System
    Function: Removes impurities like stones, metals, and dust. Ensures smoother pelletizing and protects machinery.
    Equipment: Drum sieve or magnetic separator.

    2. 900 Type PKS Crusher
    Purpose: Crushes large PKS pieces into ≤5mm fine particles for easy pelletizing.
    Capacity: 3 t/h. Power: 37 kW
    Design: Wear-resistant and Heavy-duty design to handle the hardness of PKS. Combines chipping and grinding in one machine, PKS material can be processed into powder with a diameter of less than 3mm. High efficiency and capacity, just one machine can satisfy the large PKS pellets production demand.

    3. Rotary Drum Dryer
    Purpose: Reduces PKS moisture from ~20–25% to ≤12% for efficient pelletizing.
    Fuel Options: Biomass burner, coal, gas, or diesel.
    Capacity: 2.5–3T/H wet material input.

    4. Ring Die Pellet Machine
    Purpose: High-pressure compression of PKS powder into uniform pellets
    Model: 2 units of 1T/H ring die pellet mills or 1 unit of 2T/H model
    Main Motor: 90–132 kW
    Die Material: Stainless steel or high-chromium steel
    Compression Ratio: Optimized for hard PKS material

    A. The most suitable pellet mill for compressing high crude fiber biomass materials into good pellets, especially for PKS.
    B. The high-chromium steel ring die ensures long service life and smooth PKS pelletizing.
    C. Special design of frequency-conversion speed regulating control feed conditioner guarantees PKS pellets quality.
    D. The advanced compensation type flexible coupling is of novel and compact structure, safe, low noise, and less trouble.

    5. Pellet Cooler
    Type: Counterflow pellet cooler
    Function: Cools down hot pellets from 80–90°C to room temperature, prevents clumping, cracking, and spoilage during storage.
    Power: 0.75 kW.
    Features: A rotary feeder is adopted so that the inlet air area is large and the cooling effect is obvious.

    6. Vibrating Sieve
    Function: Removes fines and broken pellets. Ensures quality and uniformity.

    7. Pellet Packing Machine
    Function: Automatically packs pellets into bags (5kg to 50kg) to facilitate pellet storage, transportation, and marketing. Automatic weighing, sealing, and bagging.

    8. Conveyors and Cyclones
    Belt or screw conveyors for material transfer between sections.

    9. Electric Cabinet (control equipment and the whole PKS pellets production).
    With the automatic electric cabinet, the PKS pellet production line is of high efficiency and convenient operation.

    Note: The moisture content of PKS material is usually low, about 11%~17%, which is suitable for pelletizing; the drying process is optional for the PKS pellet production line. Please let us know your raw material conditions, and we can customize the PKS pellet plant according to your special conditions.

       PKS Pellet Production Line FAQs

      We offer various capacities, including 1T/H, 2T/H, and larger customized solutions depending on your production needs.

      Primarily palm kernel shells (PKS), but it can also process other hard biomass like coconut shells or palm fiber with slight adjustments.

      The PKS should be crushed into particles smaller than 5 mm using a hammer mill.

      Yes. Since PKS is very hard and large, a crusher or hammer mill is necessary to reduce the size.

      Ring die pellet mills are preferred for PKS due to their durability and higher capacity when dealing with hard materials.

      Around 300–500 square meters, depending on the layout and whether you install indoor or outdoor.

      Typically, 4–6 workers are sufficient for feeding, monitoring, packaging, and maintenance.

      PKS pellets have a high calorific value of around 4,200–4,800 kcal/kg, making them ideal for industrial fuel.

      They are widely used in biomass power plants, industrial boilers and are also exported to countries like Japan, Korea, and the EU.

      Yes. PKS is often a low-cost by-product from palm oil mills, and the global demand for biomass pellets is growing rapidly.
