Lvlon is a machinery manufacturer in Henan, China, building the 1.5TPH olive pomace pellet plant for olive oil mills and biomass fuel plants across the Mediterranean, Middle East and North Africa-the olive belt where pomace is the industry's largest waste stream. As the factory, we supply wholesalers, bulk buyers, distributors and agents directly-no middle layer. In-house fabrication of every stage. One supplier, one warranty. OEM/ODM on die size and configuration, with your brand or specification. Spare parts stocked and air-freighted in 5–15 days.
The Feedstock That Is Already Ready
Every other biomass pellet line starts with preparation. Palm waste needs chipping and grinding. Straw needs hammer milling. Sawdust needs drying. Olive pomace needs none of it. The olive press has already done the work: the pomace comes out as powder, and the residual moisture-around 12%-sits in the pelletizing window. No crusher, no dryer, no preparation stage. The pomace moves from the press to the pellet mill.
That is why this is a three-stage line: pelletizing, cooling, packing. The same 1.5-tonne-per-hour output as the five-stage palm line that runs the same MZLH508 ring die. Half the equipment, half the footprint, half the power draw. The pomace carries olive pit fragments-the pits are hard and abrasive on the die, so maintenance intervals are shorter than on wood-only lines, but the trade-off is a line that installs in a fraction of the space.
Three Stages, Same Capacity
| Stage | Equipment | Key spec | Power | Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pelletizing | MZLH508 ring die mill | die Ø508mm, 2 rollers Ø190mm | 90+2.2 kW | 1.5 t/h, 6/8/10 mm |
| Cooling | SKLN1.5 counterflow cooler | 1.5 m³ | 0.75+1.1 kW | 3 t/h, 6–10 min |
| Packing | WDCS-50 packer | PLC control | 2.2 kW | 3–4 bags/min, 5–50 kg |
The MZLH508 compresses the loose pomace powder through the 508-millimeter die at 150 rpm. The counterflow cooler pulls cool air upward through the pellet bed-the indirect contact avoids the surface cracking that happens when cold air hits hot pellets directly. The WDCS-50 packer seals the pellets with PLC-controlled weighing and sealing.
Pits, Oil and Aroma
The pomace pellets are not a commodity product. The olive pit fragments embedded in the pomace burn at 4,500–5,000 kcal/kg-among the highest calorific values in biomass pellets. The residual olive oil in the pomace-the oil the press could not extract-gives the pellets a natural aroma when burned, a selling point for fireplace and stove markets. The trade-off is storage: the oil content means the pellets must be kept dry in silos or sealed bags, or they degrade and mold.
FAQ
Q: Why no crusher and no dryer?
Olive pomace is already powder after the oil press extracts the oil. Moisture is around 12%-already in the pelletizing window. No preparation needed. This is the only biomass feedstock that arrives ready to pelletize.
Q: Olive pomace line or palm waste line? Both use MZLH508.
Same pellet mill, same capacity. The difference is the rest of the line. Palm waste needs five stages-chipping, grinding, drying, pelletizing, cooling and packing-because it arrives as bulk chunks at 60–70% moisture. Olive pomace needs three stages-pelletizing, cooling, packing. Half the investment, half the footprint, half the power. You have pomace: this line.
Q: What is special about the pellets?
Olive pit fragments give high calorific value-4,500–5,000 kcal/kg. Residual olive oil gives a natural aroma when burned-a premium fireplace pellet. Storage must be dry-the oil content makes the pellets sensitive to moisture.
