EFB Briquette machine makes it possible, the waste produced during palm oil processing is crushed, dried, and compressed into high-calorific biomass fuel rods, enabling efficient energy recycling.
EFB ( Empty palm fruit bunches) and oil residue from palm oil pressing are biomass wastes with high calorific value. Once crushed and dried, they can be formed into cylindrical biomass briquettes or pellets. These fuels can be supplied to power plants, cement plants, or used as alternatives to traditional fuels like gas and heavy oil.
The mechanical stamping briquetting machine is composed of a feeding system, main briquetting machine, control cabinet, discharge cooling system, lubrication circulation cooling system, and a dust removal system. It is designed for 24-hour continuous, stable operation with an exceptionally low failure rate.
The main motor of the briquetting machine is fitted with inertia flywheels on both sides. These flywheels drive the cam on the main shaft, enabling a reciprocating motion. Due to the substantial inertia of the flywheels and the machine’s double-punch design, production capacity is increased while achieving over 50% energy savings.
Our latest briquetting machine features an upgraded control system with PLC monitoring, allowing for one-click startup of the main unit. Additionally, it automatically shuts down to prevent damage in cases of overfeeding or other malfunctions, ensuring consistent and stable operation throughout the briquetting process.

Over the past two years, we have expanded our range of briquetting machines by introducing a 22-kilowatt mini model and a 160-kilowatt super-large model. The mini briquetting machine is primarily used for testing and demonstration projects, while the super-large version, weighing nearly 20 tons, is designed for large-scale briquette fuel production projects with space constraints.
EFB briquettes are high in oil content, resulting in a caloric value exceeding 3,800 calories. However, similar to coconut shell briquettes, they produce a higher ash content during high-temperature combustion compared to sawdust briquettes, which may lead to coking issues. The likelihood of coking occurring depends on the specific usage conditions.
Fuel briquettes can primarily serve as substitutes for natural gas, heavy oil, coal, and other fuels. However, standard boilers require minor modifications to ensure they operate effectively when using biomass briquettes
The size of empty fruit bunches (EFB) is considerable, necessitating a two-stage crushing process: coarse crushing and fine crushing. Coarse crushing typically employs a continuous plate feeding integrated crusher, with a grab machine for material handling. The material is then finely crushed using a hammer mill. However, if the raw material has a high moisture content, both crushers will need to be customized accordingly.

While it is true that pressing fuel pellets or briquettes incurs additional production costs, direct combustion has several disadvantages. For instance, the large size of EFB makes automatic feeding impractical. Additionally, the inconsistent moisture content of the raw materials can result in insufficient calorific value during combustion. Overall, briquetting or pelletizing offers a more stable and efficient solution.
We recommend utilizing a drum type crusher with chain feeder, as the drum crusher is specifically designed for biomass raw materials. This type of crusher operates at high speeds, resulting in significantly higher output compared to a twin-shaft shredder. Additionally, the presence of a screening mechanism ensures a more uniform output size.
Absolutely. However, instead of using a briquetting machine, you should opt for a pellet machine. Both our flat die and ring die pellet machines are capable of producing EFB pellets. Please feel free to contact us for further assistance.
