Sengon Wood Pellet Production Facility in Probolinggo
In June 2018, a wood pellet production facility was up and running in Probolinggo, East Java, Indonesia. Main raw material is Sengon wood materials from sawmills nearby. Sengon is also called Albasia. Sengon wood pellets have low ash content and high calorific value. Beside being used as clean biofuel, Sengon pellets can also be made as horse bedding material. Horse will not be hurt even if it ate Sengon pellets.
This Sengon wood pellet facility adopted SPM520 model pellet mill from SIMEC. Other conveyors, cooler & sieve were fabricated locally to control total investment budget. The pelletizer is equipped with roller temperature monitoring system, automatic lubrication system, SKF bearings, pneumatic quick-dump bypass, overload shear pin and other protection devices.
