The rice husk is used as the main raw material of rice husk. After being put into the tank, it is pureed, through the dust filter system, it is transferred to the compressor with high pressure. The compressed rice husk is continuously added to the cooling system, making it hard and dry, packaged and put into use.

All of this production system is through automated lines from the time when the raw rice husk is put into the tank until the finished product.

Rice husk has high calorific value, 1kg emits 3,600 - 4,200 kgcal, price is 1,240 VND / kg. Although the price is higher than rice husk firewood (780 VND / kg), rice husk pellets occupy small volume, low transport price, high heat emission, especially solve the excess rice husk from rice milling.
