A briquette machine is a device that compresses biomass materials into solid fuel blocks. There are different types of briquette machines depending on the raw materials and the shape of the briquettes. Some common types are:
– Screw Press Briquette Machine: This type uses a screw to extrude the biomass material into a hollow rod-shaped briquette. It is suitable for materials with low moisture content and high density, such as sawdust, rice husk, straw, etc.
– Piston Press Briquette Machine: This type uses a piston to punch the biomass material into a cylindrical or hexagonal briquette. It is suitable for materials with high moisture content and low density, such as bagasse, cotton stalk, etc.
– Hydraulic Briquette Machine: This type uses hydraulic pressure to compress the biomass material into a compact briquette. It is suitable for materials with high moisture content and high density, such as wood chips, coconut shell, etc.
– Roller Press Briquette Machine: This type uses two rollers to rotate and press the biomass material into a flat or oval briquette. It is suitable for materials with low moisture content and medium density, such as coal, charcoal, etc.
Factors to consider when choose a briquette machine
Raw Material
Different machines are designed to handle different types of raw materials: sawdust, wood chips, straw, rice husk, and other biomass materials, charcoal powder, coal powder, coke powder, etc.
Briquette Shape and Size
Different machines can produce different shapes and sizes of briquettes. Consider the shape and size you need for your specific application.
Power Source
Briquette machines can be powered by electricity, diesel, or gasoline. Consider the availability and cost of the power source in your area.
