NO.1 Which Is The Best Piston Press Briquetting Machine
Without any doubt, the double mold piston press briquetting machine is the best one among all the mechanical briquetting press. It has the unique advantages of high output, energy-saving, stable operation, and continuous operation for 24 hours.
In this article, we will tell you the most frequently asked questions and our answers about how to choose a piston type industrial briquette maker, hoping to help you make the best choice for your briquetting plant.
NO.2 Piston Press Briquetting Machine Indroduction
A piston press briquetting machine is a heavy-duty machine that presses biomass waste, forest waste, and agro-waste into high-density briquette fuel. The briquettes also are a good animal feed. The ram-type briquette machine has a super briquetting effect, high output, stable operation, and simple maintenance. It is a good choice in large-scale industrial briquette machine projects.
NO.3 How Does A Piston Press Briquetting Machine Work.
The raw material enters the cavity of the mechanical briquetting machine through the conveyor or screw, and the motor drives the pulley through the eccentric wheel to reciprocate the biomass waste at 250-280 times RPM. Under the briquetting of the punch head and the forming die, the waste will heat up, soften, and the size will become smaller. Due to the taper of the forming die, the material will become a high-density cylinder shape hard briquettes after multiple impact extrusion and finally discharge through the molds.
The briquettes’ quality depends on the machine’s punch pressure, temperature, and material fiber features. Since the working pressure of the crank slider can reach 300 tons, and the temperature inside the cavity can reaches 150-200°, the piston press briquetting machine has wide adaptability to different materials. It has the advantages of good briquetting density, and lower electricity consumption.
NO.4 Single Mold VS Double Molds
The piston press briquette machine mainly has two types according to the designing structures, single mold or double molds.
Single-mold: Single-cam design, each rotation of the connecting rod drives a cam and a punch to move. Currently, most factories in India, Europe, and China all produce this machine. Only the feeding and the specific design are different.
Double-molds: Double-cam design, each movement of the connecting rod drives two cams and punches to move. Compared with the single-mold design, the output is higher and more energy-saving. We are the first and only briquetting machine manufacturer to develop a double-mold briquetting machine. We also own the most mature and perfect design and technology in this field.
NO.5 Comparision From Briquetting Machine Manufacturers
| Machine Type | Raw Material | Briquette Shape | Briquette Size | Briquette Size |
| Single Mold From Other Company | Agro waste and forest waste | Cylinder mostly | 70-9mm | India, EU, China |
| Single Mold From KX | Agro waste, forest Waste， MSW, SRF, RDF， Industrial Waste | Cylinder, inner hole choosable | 20-110mm | KX |
| Double Molds From KX | Agro waste, forest Waste， MSW, SRF, RDF， Industrial Waste | Cylinder, Inner hole chooseable | 20-110mm | KX as only manufacturer |
NO.6 How To Choose Briquette Press
The piston press briquette press has high output and low unit energy consumption. How to choose the best briquette making machine? We summarize some points as follows.
- Your raw materials and target market
The machine you choose will be subject to your raw material. If you have high requests on the briquette density and size, then piston type is your best choice. It can adapt to more raw material kinds and produce more sizes of briquettes.
Please note that no machine can process all the raw materials. If someone told you that, he must be lying. Customized parts are required more or less, so communication with the supplier in the early stage is crucial.
- Customize the plant exactly based on your feedstock.
After purchasing a briquetting machine, many customers may face a series of problems during operation. The most common ones are the high failure rate and substandard output. The moisture, size, and feedstock fiber features are very different, which will lead to the capacity difference. In the early communication process, it is necessary to choose a professional and credible supplier, conduct enough communication, and customize the plant according to your raw material, which is the basis for ensuring a stable and high-output operation in the running stage.
- Semi-Automated VS Fully-Automated
Most manufacturers are still manufacturing semi-automated briquette machines for sale now. However, for this machine, it is important to solve common problems automatically, which is the basis for ensuring stable and continuous operation. Therefore, we recommend you choose the fully-automated design.
- Choose a professional and reliable supplier
A good supplier must be responsible and have high-quality after-sales service except for excellent machine design. KX has rich experience in turnkey projects and we’re very happy to support you in this field. Know us better, click here.
NO.7 When You’ll Choose A Mechanical Briquetting Press
- You need to produce Cylindrical briquettes with different diameters and sizes.
- The raw material is loose, light, powdery, and hard to briquetting.
- You need to produce good quality briquette for household stoves and fireplaces with good density and a specified length.
- Continuous production for 24 hours.
