Coconut shells are  wastes from the production of coconut milk, desiccated coconut, dried coconut and coconut oil. Coconut shells have been used to make charcoal, activated carbon and handicrafts. In recent years, coconut shells become a popular biomass resource for renewable energy to substitute fossil fuel through pelletizing. Pelletizing makes coconut shells be in uniform size and shape, high bulk density, low moisture content and high heating efficiency.

Pelletizing of Coconut Shells

Pelletizing has the requirements on the size and moisture content of raw materials. The proper size is less than 5mm and the proper moisture content is about 12%-15%. Therefore coconut shells need pretreatment before feeding into the coconut shell pellet machine: use hammer mill to reduce the size of coconut shell and drying machine to low the moisture content. The dried coconut shell powder can be fed into the coconut shell pellet machine and then you get the finished coconut shell pellets.
