Discover the sustainable power of Coffee Parchment Pellets, made from natural coffee parchment byproducts. Perfect for use as biomass fuel in heating systems, these pellets offer high energy efficiency, reduced carbon footprint, and are environmentally responsible. Great for industries and households seeking renewable energy solutions. Coffee Parchment is a naturally occurring, papery substance that surrounds the coffee bean, just like the endocarp (membrane-like layer) that surrounds many other types of fruit seeds (such as apple seeds). It is mainly composed by xylans (35%), lignin (32%), and cellulose (12%). The abundant organic nature supplies sufficient energy source and natural adhesive force.
Additionally, the parchment is an important byproduct which comes from coffee processing industry. Hulling dry processed coffee refers to removing the entire dried husk--the exocarp, mesocarp and endocarp--of the dried cherries. Hulling machinery removes the parchment layer (endocarp) from wet processed coffee.
Coffee is by far, one of the most popular beverages over the world. Especially, in South America, there are many countries, such as Brazil, Colombia, Honduras, Mexico, and Peru, being the top coffee producers have a huge supply of coffee beans, with sufficient coffee parchment supply as well. It makes industrializing and scaled production of coffee parchment pellets feasible.

As byproduct, the supply of coffee parchment is sustainable. Accordingly, the coffee parchment can be a great alternative source of raw material for making biofuel pellets in the future.
Attached to the largest multinational corporation of coffee bean supply based in South America, a developer of coffee parchment pellet production has confirmed to adopt SIMEC pellet machines. Before setting up the biomass pellet plant, a live demonstration of coffee parchment pelletizing was done by SIMEC.
The pelletization of coffee parchment sample is in charged by SIMEC SPM250 Laboratory Pellet Mill.
Fabulous test result is enabled by advanced pelletizing technology and performance. Coffee parchment pellets were tested in a third party laboratory. After being pelletized, the calorific value of coffee parchment pellet reaches 4280 Kcal/kg. As solid biomass fuel, its specifications can meet the requirements of global market. Please refer to the full test report in the table below.
