Know Palm Kernel Shells in Palm Cultivation and Palm Oil Industry
Palm Kernel Shell (PKS) is the hard outer shell of palm kernel fruit, which is left behind as a byproduct after palm oil extraction. It is a fibrous, brownish-yellow material with particle sizes typically ranging from 5 mm to 40 mm. Each year, the palm oil industry generates over 5 million tons of PKS. Utilizing a palm shell charcoal machine allows you to profit from the attractive palm kernel shell charcoal price. Now learn about this material.
Major Producing Regions
The primary producers of PKS are countries where oil palm is a major economic crop. According to public data, the top PKS-producing regions include:
- Indonesia
- Malaysia
- Thailand
- Brazil
- Colombia
- etc.
Characteristics of Palm Shells
Palm kernel shells offer unique characteristics that make them ideal for charcoal production.

How to Make Charcoal from Palm Kernel Shell?
A complete palm shell charcoal machine usually includes a biomass pretreatment line and a biomass pyrolysis part. This integrated system effectively transforms palm waste into valuable charcoal, optimizing the process for both efficiency and sustainability. See its working process.
01 Raw Material Pretreatment
Before feeding the palm kernel shells into the reactor, they need to be prepared properly:
- Drying: Dry the shells with the dryer to keep their moisture content below 15%.
- Size Reduction: If the shells are too large, they may need to be crushed or shredded into smaller pieces (5-20mm) for uniform processing.
02 Palm Kernel Shells Feeding
Once ready, feed them into the reactor of the palm kernel shell charcoal making machine.
03 Palm Kernel Shells Pyrolysis/Carbonization
The machine will then begin the pyrolysis process. During this stage, the palm kernel shells release volatile gases, leaving behind solid carbon (biochar). The temperature in the reactor are crucial for achieving the desired quality of biochar.
- Medium-temperature zone: In the inner cylinder of reactor, biomass materials undergo secondary drying and semi-carbonization.
- High-temperature zone: Then the screw pushes them to drop into the outer cylinder of reactor for complete pyrolysis, producing biochar.
04 Syngas Recovery
As the shells undergo pyrolysis, syngas is purified and used to provide energy for the palm kernel shell charcoal machine.
