Bunches of fruit can produce palm oil, empty fruits bunches have plenty of fiber, this fiber can use for boiler fuel, stuffing for sofa, mattress, also use for compost fertilizer.
In crude palm oil mill, FFB (Fresh Fruit Bunch) is received and send for crude palm oil process. After bunch sterilization process, palm oil bunch will go through a Fruit Detachment whereby threshing process applied in order to separate between sterilized palm fruit and EFB bunch (Empty Fruit Bunch)
Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) is originally in raw form and is further processed into shredded form. The shredding process slices EFB into the smaller and loose structures, which is easier for making bio-fuel, either burning directly in the boiler or further processed to EFB pellets or Briquettes.
Drum chipper shredder, with 4-5 flying knives, the special cutting angle between flying knife and bottom knife, is considered as most economic, and efficient shredding machine for turning EFB into the short fiber. We design and fabricate the drum chipper shredder. A lot of improvements have been taken to suit users from different countries. I.e. in Malaysia, power supply is 415V 50HZ, people have got used to machine soft start, while in China, it is 380V 50HZ, and machine start method is star delta.
