Abstract
In this paper, the production capacity and density of biomass pellets from oil palm trunk (OPT) material have been investigated by using a portable biomass pellet molding machine. Biomass pellet capacity and density were measured by variations of roller press speed, die plate thickness and roller press width. Roller press speed was with three variations from 100 rpm to 140 rpm, die plate thickness was from 20 mm to 30 mm, and roller press width was from 25 mm to 27 mm. The experimental data was then processed statistically using the response surface method. The production capacity of OPT biomass pellet is significantly influenced by dying plate thickness on a portable biomass pellet molding machine, while OPT biomass pellet density is determined experimentally by roller press speed. In addition, the production capacity, which can be achieved by the biomass pellet molding machine was 49.5 kg/h, while the density of the biomass pellet produced was 1.3 g/cm3.
