India, the world’s second-largest sugar producer, generates millions of tons of sugarcane bagasse every year. While some bagasse is reused in sugar mills as boiler fuel, a large portion often goes to waste or is burned in the open—causing air pollution and carbon emissions. With the global shift toward renewable energy, this agricultural residue is now being recognized as a valuable raw material for biomass pellet production. Leading this transformation is Yulong-Gattuwala, a trusted name in agro-waste pelletizing solutions.
Why Sugarcane Bagasse for Biomass Pellets?
Sugarcane bagasse is a fibrous by-product obtained after extracting juice from sugarcane. It has excellent characteristics for pelletizing:
• Abundant Availability: Produced in bulk during every crushing season.
• High Energy Value: Lignocellulosic content makes it suitable for combustion.
• Eco-Friendly: Reduces dependence on coal and prevents open-field burning.
• Cost-Effective: Farmers and sugar mills can earn extra revenue from waste.
When compressed into biomass pellets, bagasse becomes a renewable, high-density fuel ideal for industries, power generation, and even household use.
The Yulong-Gattuwala Pelletizing Process
Yulong-Gattuwala specializes in advanced pelletizing machinery designed to handle fibrous raw materials like bagasse. The process typically involves:
- Shredding & Grinding – Bagasse is fed into hammer mills to convert it into fine powder.
- Drying – Flash dryers reduce moisture content to the optimal level (10–15%).
- Pelletizing – Ring die pellet machines compress the powder into strong, uniform pellets.
- Cooling & Screening – Ensures durability, hardness, and consistency of pellets.
- Packaging – Automated systems pack pellets for storage and transport.
This turnkey solution ensures maximum efficiency, minimum wastage, and high-quality pellet output.
