High-Efficiency Groundnut Shell Fired Steam Boilers

At IndianBoilers.com, our Groundnut Shell Fired Steam Boilers are specifically engineered to tap into one of India’s most abundant and high-calorific agricultural residues. Groundnut shells (peanut husks) offer an incredible energy-to-cost ratio, making them the preferred choice for industries looking to switch from expensive fossil fuels to sustainable, carbon-neutral biomass.

Manufactured at our state-of-the-art facility in Ahmedabad, these boilers feature specialized furnace geometries designed to handle the unique combustion properties of groundnut shells, ensuring complete burnout and maximum thermal output.

Key Features & Performance

• Exceptional Fuel Economy: Groundnut shells provide high calorific value (approx. 3800-4200 Kcal/kg), typically reducing operational steam costs by up to 60% compared to LDO or Gas.
• Precision 3-Pass Design: Our smoke-tube technology ensures that flue gases travel through three distinct passes, maximizing heat absorption and achieving thermal efficiency of 82% and above.
• Specialized Grate Systems: Available with stationary or reciprocating grates tailored to manage the light density of groundnut shells while preventing clinker formation.
• Automated Fuel Handling: Equipped with advanced pneumatic or screw-conveyor feeding systems for consistent steam pressure and minimal manual intervention.
• IBR Certified Safety: Every unit is built to Indian Boiler Regulations (IBR) standards using premium-grade steel to ensure a service life of 20+ years.

Technical Specifications

Why Choose Our Groundnut Fired Boilers?

• Carbon-Neutral Operation: Help your facility achieve ESG goals by utilizing renewable biomass that releases only the CO2 the plants absorbed during growth.
• Low Maintenance: Designed with large furnace volumes and easy-access manholes to simplify ash removal and tube cleaning.
• Multi-Fuel Flexibility: Our furnaces are versatile; if groundnut shells are seasonally unavailable, you can seamlessly switch to wood chips or briquettes.
• Integrated Heat Recovery: Every boiler can be paired with an Economizer or Air Pre-Heater (APH) to squeeze every bit of energy from the flue gases.

Core Industry Applications

Our groundnut-fired systems are the “Gold Standard” for industries located in major groundnut-producing hubs like Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu:

• Edible Oil Mills: Use your own byproduct (shells) to generate steam for extraction and refining.
• Food Processing: Reliable, low-cost steam for frying, roasting, and sterilization.
• Textiles & Dyeing: Significant cost reduction for high-volume steam requirements.
• Pharma & Chemical: Precise temperature control for reactors and drying processes.
