The briquetting plant is also called biomass briquette plant, a briquette production line, which is a general name for a series of machines used to produce biomass briquettes. It usually includes a crushing machine, sorting machine, rotary dryer, briquette machine, cutting and packing machine etc.
Depending on the initial statement of your raw materials, the shape and size of the final briquettes, and the packaging and transportation condition, the configuration of the production line varies greatly, and the briquetting plant output varies from 200KG/H to 30000KG/H, or even larger. The configuration of a complete plant is different much also. The simplest briquetting plant only includes briquette press if your raw material size and moisture are in suitable condition ( size no more than 10mm-40mm, and moisture no more than 20% maximum), however, if your raw material condition is not suitable for processing directly, the plant need to be equipped with crushing machine, drying machine, sorting screener. Therefore, the briquettes manufacturing plant cost varies greatly as it’s a customized production line.
The machines included in a briquette plant changed according to your raw material type, size, and moisture percentage. Therefore, the configuration of the plant will vary much due to the raw materials and your project requirements.
When the size and moisture are suitable, you only need a briquette press is OK. The production line will be with smaller investment, easy operation, simple and low maintenance cost features. However, when lacking a crusher and dryer, it may be limited by seasonal reasons, especially in some countries which have rainy seasons.
When your raw material size is too large and moisture content too high, natural drying can not be met because of the large amount required, then the briquetting plant needs to be equipped with a crushing machine and rotary dryer. When your target market is the supermarket for household heating, then a briquette cutter and packing machine also need to be designed in this plant. Compared with a simple and small briquette production line, this kind of production line needs higher investment, but the advantage is that it’s with higher output and wide adaptability to raw materials, so the plant running will be not restricted by seasonal reasons for most kinds of raw materials.
The crushing machine types are different in different kinds of briquette manufacturing plants. It depends on your raw material initial size, moisture, briquette machine types chosen, final briquette size, etc. The location in the plant is also different much based on the actual condition.
Crushing machines may include primary crushing machines and secondary crushing machines. Primary crushing is usually a large-scale crusher or shredder, while secondary crushing is mostly a hammer mill. For many raw materials easy to be crushed, only primary crushing is sufficient. This should be determined according to your raw material fiber features and the output demand of the briquetting plant.
The sorting machine is not a conventional configuration in the briquetting plant. The most commonly used screening machines mainly include drum screens, vibrating screens, and magnetic separators. Only when raw material includes many impurities, and impurities have risks of causing damage to the machine, or impurities seriously affect the quality of the briquette, the plant will be equipped with a sorting section.
The dryer is a crucial part of a briquetting plant. The machine dimension is huge. Based on the raw material fiber feature and output, the briquetting plant can be equipped with an air-flow type dryer or drum-type dryers. The air-flow type dryer with a lower capacity range of no more than 1ton/h, and inaccurate output material moisture control. It is suitable for matching small size screw type briquette machine, and the large capacity briquette plant is more suitable for drum-type dryers because the capacity is huge, the drying efficiency is high, and the moisture of the output raw materials can be automatically controlled easily, so it is more selected by industrial turnkey Projects.
The selection of drying machines, from heat sources to temperature control systems, conveying and dust removal systems, all parts need to be accurately designed and configured according to your raw materials. You are welcome to contact us for the customization of a professional proposal.
The biomass briquette machine is the most critical section in a briquette plant. You need to confirm your raw material fiber feature, briquette machine capacity, detailed requirements. Then we could recommend you the best model, your local target market also good support for our communication. The ram-type briquette machine is the most energy-saving and environmentally friendly model. It is used widely in biomass waste processing.
In a briquetting plant, whether you need to cut and pack the briquettes, depends on the local market you choose and the configured briquette machine model. Only when briquettes need to be packed in a specified length, you need a briquette cutter. That’s usually be sold in the store for household heating, you need to customize the cutting machine and packaging machine. For industrial applications and ordinary household cooking fuels, there is no need to cut the briquette in a specified length, and they can be sold directly after normal breaks in random and packed in bulk.
Most of the biomass waste raw materials can be pressed into briquettes by briquetting plant, but for some raw materials from different regions, we’d better go through a test run to determine and eliminate some possible risks. According to the source of the raw materials, the general raw materials can be divided into three categories
Agricultural waste: Rice husks, coconut husks, palm tree leaves, peanut husks, bagasse, corn stalks, palm trees, and many other crop materials.
Forest waste: branches, leaves, sawdust, barks, shavings, and other wood waste.
Other waste: discarded wooden pallets, waste wooden building templates, discarded wood and furniture made of boards, etc.
The selection of a briquette machine is the most critical part of the entire production line. We generally choose the appropriate briquetting machine type according to the output of the plant and the shape of the briquette you want to produce. The following are the common output and matching types for your reference. Welcome to contact us now to confirm the most suitable solution
| CAPACITY | BRIQUETTE MACHINR TYPE | BRIQUETTE SIZE | BRIQUETTE SHAPE |
| 200KG-800KG/H | Screw Type | 40MM-60MM | Hexagonal |
| 800KG-30000KG/H | Piston Type | 20MM-110MM | Cylinder,inner hole choosable |
| 1000KG-50000KG/H | Ring Die Type | 10MM-40MM | Cylinder or tetragonal |
The positioning of your local briquette market is the first step at the initial stage of your project. Generally, that’s determined based on your raw materials and investment budget.
If raw material available every day is within 10ton/day, you could try to develop the briquettes for the home cooking and heating market.
If your raw materials are sufficient and the price is very competitive, you could develop the industrial market like a power plant and industrial boiler.
In addition, 20mm-30mm diameter smaller briquettes are the best choice for industrial boilers, civil fireplaces, and burners. 50mm-70mm diameter briquettes are the best choice for industrial boilers. It depends on your local market preference.
We are riched experience in manufacturing briquetting plants no matter in local or foreign markets. The raw materials applied included agricultural and forestry wastes, and some industrial wastes. The following is the video for your reference.
We believe that you want to choose a professional manufacturer that can provide you with full guidance and service. We are willing to be your strongest support.
Diameters above 20 mm are ok, but 8-20 mm not workable. That’s because the molds of our briquette machine is a special split type design. In order to ensure the lowest maintenance cost and the smooth operation of the equipment, it is not recommended to use a briquetting machine to produce pellets. If you want produce pellet, a ring die pellet machine is a better choice.
The requirements for the raw material moisture and size are not so strictly. At the same time, it has a wide range of applications for raw materials, low energy consumption, and energy saving 50% comapred with other pressing machine.
