Complete Biomass Briquetting Plant
Raw Material for Briquetting
Hardwood, sawdust or bamboo powder is the ideal materials for making charcoal briquettes. Making charcoal briquettes from agricultural residues such as straw and crop wastes requires higher processing technical and the quality of final charcoal products might be relatively low, but doesn’t mean it is inadvisable. You should take the situation of local markets into account. For some areas, recycle agricultural wastes for biomass briquettes (semi-finished charcoal briquettes which are not charred completely) are also profitable.
Choose raw material is the very first step of charcoal briquetting. Be cautious and do not pick the material you don’t know very well!
Funds
Take a 1ton per day charcoal briquetting factory for example:
-
Main Equipment – Briquetting Machine and dryer.
The cost for briquetting machine and dryer should not be less than 7,000$. If a supplier or manufacturer gives a much lower price, you should really worry about the quality.
-
Auxiliary Equipment – Electric welding machine and grinding machine, 300$.
For the wearing parts, some friends may prefer repair factory for saving costs. In fact, for large charcoal production, the repair rate of wearing parts is very high. So we suggests do it yourself! You should have a specialized maintenance worker who knows the charcoal briquetting plant very well.
-
Factory
Either build or rent, prepare $ for the plant is not really much.
-
Charring Kilns
The cost of building a charring kiln is not very high, but the production cycle is very long. For a 1 ton/day kiln, it needs at least 8 kilns which might cost 8 days at least.
-
Electric Power
If there is a large capacitor transformer nearby the factory, the investment for this part will be less, about 300$. If there is no such convenient conditions, you might need independent transformer and separate distribution, and that will cost at least $.
-
Circulating Fund
Firstly, let’s talk about packaging materials. Generally, we use carton packaging. The charcoal products normally cannot be sold immediately after produced, especially for new built factory. Experienced manufacturers all know that it is better to storage newly produced charcoal for a period of time. Under normal conditions, store for a month can make the weight of charcoal grow 6% at least.
Site and Place
Site for placement of briquetting plant should be no less than 100 square meters. The height of working house should be more than 3.5 m. Both briquetting and drying process will generate smoke. High housing can make the workers feel comfortable and it also is good for fire protection. Warehouse is mainly used for storage final charcoal products. There is not many requirements for warehouse, just keep it from fire hazards.
At least 500 square meter outdoor grounds are needed for charring process. The briquette production plant is better to be built away from crowd so that to avoid the impact on the surrounding residents and reduce pressure of environmental protection.
The company is the world’s best Straw Briquetting Machine supplier. We are your one-stop shop for all needs. Our staff are highly-specialized and will help you find the product you need.
Technology
It mainly includes molding technology and charring technology. For molding or briquetting, you only need to choose a good manufacturer and then they are responsible for teach you, until you can operate independently. A reliable briquette machinery supply will also offer door-to-door guidance if you come across with any problem during briquette production. This is called after sale service. However, charring process doesn’t have big relations with briquette machine manufacturer or supplier (except those manufacturers who sell charring furnace). If you want to make high quality charcoal briquettes, you must find a good teacher and learn how to char biomass briquettes.

Briquetting Machine Review
About biomass briquettes
Making briquettes from biomass is a high efficient way to save your energy bill as well as to dispose of biomass waste. As a kind of renewable energy, the biomass briquettes, such as wood briquettes, saw dust briquettes or charcoal briquettes, made by briquetting machine, is widely used both in industry and civil scale for heating as a substitute of conventional fossil fuel - coal in particular. Biomass briquettes can be made from wood, sawdust, crop straw, grass, civil waste and animal waste.
A briquette is manufactured by briquetting machine, also known as briquette maker or briquette press But how does a biomass briquetting machines work? Take making wood briquettes for example, under circumstance of high pressure and temperature, the lignin, which is a kind of polymer in the wood, originally working as a support of wood cell wall, will turn to a sort of plastic matter that stick the briquettes together. That is also why any glue, or binder namely is not necessary in briquetting process, and it is also the reason why the outside of a wood briquette is smooth and shinning.
Benefits of briquettes?
The briquettes, known as a compact heating fuel, has several advantages over the traditional fossil fuel:
-
Better burning efficiency. Heat value is highly concentrated in briquettes because of its compactness so that more thermal heat can be produced compared with other fuel with the same size. From our years experience as well as feedbacks of the customers, the biomass briquettes, especially wood briquettes are 40% higher in term of burning efficiency.
-
Tiny size. In GEMCO, we are proud of reducing size of the biomass feedstock up to 90%. This results in high bulk density. Unlike raw biomass material whose density is about 60-180kg/m³, the briquettes have a much higher density of around kg/m³.
-
Smoke and ash free. One of the reason why you can burn biomass briquettes or wood briquettes in fireplace or stove at home is that they produce no smoke or very subtle ash based on what specific material used for making briquettes. As manufacture technology and relevant fuel energy standardization revamp, to burning biomass fuel: pellets, briquettes and suchlike is getting more and more clean and environmental friendly.
-
Easy get easy keep. Chances are when you own a saw mill, a furniture factory or a farm, you might have been in trouble dealing with those biomass by-products. One of the easiest way to solve your problem is making them into biomass briquettes. No matter what shapes of briquettes you get: square, hexagon, round, etc. they are always convenient to pack and transport.
Briquettes have more merits other than the above said, they are cheap, easy to delivery, recyclable, and so forth.
How to choose briquetting machine?
Given that briquetting industry is an overwhelming trend that will continue being hot and will contribute more and more portion in renewable energy marketing, different designs of briquetting machines are rolled out. By and large, two essential kind of briquette press can be observed in the market: stamping type briquette press, screw press briquetting machine, and hydraulic briquetting machine, each type has its unique power driven pattern. What interesting is that In Chinese market, especially an integrated machinery that can both make briquettes and pellets is eye catching. Scientifically speaking, by looking at its working theory, this dual function machine is just a improved type of stamping briquette press.
From the view of feedstock that a briquette machine is processing, there are charcoal briquettes maker, wood briquettes maker, paper briquettes maker, even metal briquettes maker.
Below a presentation of comparison among 3 types of biomass briquetting machine that are mainstream on the market:
