A palm chopper machine or palm crusher is a specialized agricultural equipment used in oil palm plantations to chop or crush empty fruit bunches (EFB), palm fronds, and other palm waste into smaller pieces for easier decomposition, mulching, or further processing.
Types of Palm Chopper/Crusher Machines:
1. EFB (Empty Fruit Bunch) Crusher – Shreds EFB into fibrous material for composting or biomass fuel.
2. Palm Frond Chopper – Cuts palm leaves and branches into smaller pieces for mulching.
3. Palm Kernel Crusher – Used to crush palm kernels to extract oil (different from EFB shredders).
Key Features:
– High-speed rotating blades/hammers for efficient chopping.
– Diesel or electric motor-powered (depending on model).
– Adjustable output size (fine or coarse chopping).
– Heavy-duty construction for durability in harsh conditions.
Applications:
✔ Waste management in oil palm mills
✔ Composting and organic fertilizer production
✔ Biomass fuel preparation for boilers
