The briquette press is a machine used to press various raw materials (including biomass waste, sorted MSW, industrial waste from factory, coal powder, metal ore powder, etc.) into a briquette with a large density and a specified size. The wood briquettes apply most widely all over the world.
Nowadays, there are many differences in waste disposal in different countries, such as domestic and industrial waste. The treatment standards and processes in many countries vary much to biomass waste. Agricultural waste and forestry wastes are burned directly in many developing countries. Which not only causes environmental pollution but also leads to energy waste. For the MSW and Industrial waste, landfills also caused a lot of land and water pollution. Therefore, more and more countries and enterprises are beginning to explore the feasibility of waste briquette press for waste recycling and energy utilization. Waste is transferred into Biomass or RDF briquettes by different kinds of Biruqtete presses. The process is becoming mature in agricultural, forestry, and industrial waste briquetting.
The briquette presses types are different according to the classification standard. According to design structure and working principles, there’s piston briquette press, screw briquette press, hydraulic briquette press, and ring mold briquette press.
Among them, the capacity and efficiency of the piston-type and the ring die type are higher than the screw and hydraulic types.
Classified by the working environment, there’s homemade briquettes press and industrial briquetting press. The former is manually operated with low cost and small output, while industrial briquetting presses with a fully automatic control system, large capacity, and higher efficiency.
According to raw materials, there are biomass briquette presses, MSW briquette presses, industrial waste briquette presses, etc. Currently, we usually classify by machine design and structure.
The output of a piston briquette press machine is usually within 800-3000kg/h, and the motor power equipped is between 45KW-90KW. The press with two inertia flywheels, and it’s driven by a dual-axis motor. The crank connects with the rod mechanism. Then the ram punch raw material. Among all of these briquette presses, it is the most energy-saving one. That’s mainly used to process biomass waste, sorted MSW and industrial waste in many projects and plants.
The piston briquette press can work continuously for 24 hours * 7days. Briquette is cylindrical, with or without an inner hole, the briquette diameter size at a range of 20mm-80mm choosable.
Single-mold piston briquette presses are generally chosen as a small machine at the initial stage of a business for a start. The investment is relatively small and can quickly test the market in a short time. Very easy to operate and maintain by workers in the daily running compared with other machines. It’s full-automatic controlled by a PLC touch screen cabinet. It’s suitable for processing a wide range of raw materials like rice husk, bagasse, sawdust, papers, plastic, and so on. It’s a good choice when just beginning a new business.
You could find the double-molds briquette press in many large-scale projects. It has a high degree of automation compared with the traditional briquetting presses, and it can run continuously 24 hours * 7 days. Very easy to operate, and operation stable. It’s with double molds, more energy-saving compared with the single-mold machine. The machine efficiency improved much compared with the old type machine. It reduces the production cost by at least 30%. Therefore, it is a good product for medium-scale and large-scale plants.
The heavy-duty single-mold briquette press is not a general model. It is used in some projects using rare raw materials. The main motor power is 90KW, usually with vertical and horizontal screws. For example, when your material fiber is different.
Ring mode briquette press could process square or cylindrical crop straw and various industrial solid wastes. The raw materials include corn stalks, rice stalks, cotton stalks, wood chips, branches, barks, waste cloth strips, leather, paper residue, sludge, domestic garbage, and other agricultural or industrial solid wastes. The briquette density is 0.8-1.3g/cm3. The briquette system includes a feeding system, molding system, discharging system, temperature control system, electric control system, etc.
The latest generation machines adopt reducer transmission mode, which avoids a series of problems such as belt loss compared with a traditional model. It avoids the power loss caused by pulley loss and belt pulley maintenance. For this type of briquetting press, the main motor power is lower, but the torque is improved, so the machine output is more stable, and the machine maintenance is easy and saves much more time. In addition, the whole machine with an overloaded system, so it runs stable, and labor cost saving when operating. It’s more energy-saving with lower energy consumption and higher output.
The whole machine adopts a modular design, so it’s convenient for assembly and disassembly when doing maintenance. It’s stable running with large output because of the new reducer designed. The briquette size usually keeps 32mm*32mm, and different briquette size customization is accepted. It is used in large-scale industrial production also.
The screw-type briquette press is a small-scale press machine. The output ranges from 200kg/h to 500 kg/hour. It’s a mall machine with lower capacity and smaller investment, so it is used by many small factories and individuals in the initial stage when starting a business.
The machine could process biomass materials ( for example, sawdust, straw, rice husk, etc. ) into rod-shaped hollow solid fuels under high pressure and temperature. When screw briquette machine work, they have relatively high requirements for the accuracy of moisture content and material size. Usually, the raw material moisture is within 8-12%, and the material size is smaller than 8-10 mm. The machine needs to work with a grinder or air-flow dryer. You could make sure the material size and moisture are at a reasonable rate when using a crusher and dryer.
The briquette could produce charcoal after being carbonized in a carbonization furnace. So it is the main machine of a charcoal briquette plant.
However, the screws need to be repaired period. As quick-wear parts, workers have to do maintenance period. So workers should be skilled. Therefore, the proficiency and operation experience of the workers when running the briquetting press is relatively high.
The hydraulic briquette press is a double-roller ball press. It processes raw materials such as coal powder, peat, mineral powder, dry powder, etc. It can also be used for briquette of non-ferrous and ferrous metal mineral powder to briquette or ball before melting. All waste and auxiliary materials in the metallurgical industry need to be pressed by a hydraulic briquette press before melting, such as dust, sludge, oxide scale in the dust collector, steel slag, iron powder, aluminum powder, various mineral powders, etc. According to different models, the output of machines varies between 1-70ton/h, the power of the main motors is between 5kw-160KW. The shape and size of briquettes are customized.
The machine structure design is reasonable, and it has stable operation and high efficiency. Low maintenance cost is its advantage, so it’s the best choice for mineral briquette. However, some raw materials need to be mixed with a binder before briquetting.
Machine Type-Single mold Piston Briquette Press Raw Material-Groundnuts Shell Briquette Diameter-60mm
Machine Type-Double molds Piston Briquette Press Raw Material-Sawdust Briquette Diameter-60mm
Machine Type-Ring Mold Briquette Press Raw Material-Sawdust Briquette Size-32mm*32mm
Not all raw materials can be processed directly. For agricultural waste, forestry waste, and industrial waste, are different in size and moisture content.
For these materials, the best choice should be with suitable moisture content and size, and better with high calorific value for higher profit. Then raw materials do not need to be dried and crushed before briquetting, so the plant no need to be equipped with a crusher and dryer, then small area needed and machine cost lower much also. These factors lead to low briquette processing costs and lower labor costs. It can bring you more profits.
These raw materials include dried wood chips, dried rice husks, dried copra, some kinds of industrial wastes, charcoal powder, waste plastics, waste paper, etc.
Different briquetting presses have different designs, so the output, the raw materials processing, and the working environment are varied.
The screw briquette press is suitable for homemade and small-scale briquettes production. Such as small and medium briquette plants and charcoal machine factories. Only for biomass waste. Its output is small, and the motor power is relatively small, so energy-saving requirements are not strict.
For piston and ring mold briquette presses, the application fields are mostly large-scale briquette production plants, the requirements for machine capacity, energy consumption ratio, and stability are very high. So they are more used in medium and large plants.
The application of hydraulic briquette press is mainly in the fields of metal and mineral processing only, and an automatic control system is not a must in these projects.

Good density, low storing cost, and transport easily.
The density of briquettes increased to 1-1.3g/cm3. It saves much storage and transportation costs compared with original raw material. In addition, it is clean when burning in the biomass burner or stove. Therefore, that’s a high-quality new fuel with a wide range of applications in civil and industrial fields.
The cost of raw materials is low, but the briquette added value is high. The briquette heat value is between 3500-6000 kilocalories mostly, and enjoy a longer burning time, a higher temperature in the enhanced furnace. Biomass briquettes are very clean and widely used, and industrial waste briquette burns well in some industrial boilers. Compared with traditional energy sources, it does not contain sulfur and phosphorus. It extended the service life of the boilers.
More waste becomes resources and can use efficiently. After the material becomes briquette fuel, the application range increase sharply. It can be used in many industries and combustion machines so that the resource utilization rate is much higher.
Biomass briquette is clean, sanitary, and pollution-free. For wood waste, sawdust, chips, and agricultural waste briquette, “zero-emission” can be achieved during the combustion process. There’s no slag discharge, no smoke, no chlorine, no sulfur dioxide, no harmful gases, and without pollution to the environment. It is environmentally friendly and clean energy, getting the name of Green Coal.
The source of raw materials is available everywhere. Biomass resources and industrial waste resources quantity is huge in the world, that’s easy to get for many factories, and biomass material is renewable. It can be a good alleviate to traditional fuels when facing energy crises in the future.
The briquettes application in daily life is very widely (For example, biomass stoves, biomass burners, hot water boilers, steam boilers, drying furnaces, biomass gasifiers, etc. ). In addition, it’s also good fuel for industrial activities. Such as when drying wood plates, fruits, tea, etc. As a good choice for district heating and power generation, many customers use briquettes instead of natural gas and coal.
In addition, the briquettes increase the production efficiency of biogas as a raw material for biogas fermentation.
