Biomass briquettes fuel seems to come into focus these days as the environmental issues and energy crisis becomes urgent for sustainably development. The briquettes seems to be one of the new energy sources however the biomass briquettes fuel also can be called as “tradition fuel” for since before recorded history, the Nepal people have been using biomass briquettes made of self-made briquetters for cooking and heating purpose. While at the same time the “biomass briquettes” processed by the advanded briquettes making plants also can be called as one of the new fuel sources because new briquetting technology has been adopted to make the briquettes.

Biomass Briquettes
 

Compare with the loose briquettes used in the past, the solid briquettes made by new briquetting technology enjoy higher density of 1.2 g/cm3 than that of loose biomass of 0.1 to 0.2 g/cm3 for general. However heat values of biomass briquettes vary with the raw materials composition, which ranges from 4.48 to 5.95 kJ/g, whereas the heat value of sawdust, charcoal and wood pellets ranges from 7.24 to 8.25 kJ/g, according to a study conducted by Boise State University, which also show that the low heat value feedstocks can be composted and pressed by the briquetting makers or the briquetting plans into processed highly density briquettes as biomass fuel to meet energy needs and ease energy pressure.

The increasing growth of energy needs and price drives the expansion of biomass briquettes production scale with large industrial briquette making plants and the briquettes application which means the biomass briquettes is now having a promising market. It can be used by the industrial boilers for steam and heat generation, food processing industries for drying, etc, textile process houses for dyeing, bleaching, etc, clay products industries, such as tile making, pot firing, etc, and domestic using for cooking and water heating.


Green Profits
 

As the briquettes market gets more and more prosperous, it’s the right time to invest in the briquetting business. And one of the important factor is the chocies of  a birquette making machine also called briquttes maker or a briquetter.  At present, there are three types of briquette press in the market for general; namely, there are the piston briquettes press, the screw press briquetting machines and the hydraulic briquetting press plants. The piston briquettes press punches the biomass materials into a die by a reciprocating ram with high pressure and eventually to compress the biomass into briquettes. As for a screw briquettes extruder press, the biomass is extruded continuously by a screw through a heated taper die. In a piston press briquetting plant the wear of the contact parts e.g., the ram and die is less compared to the wear of the screw and die in a screw briquettes extruder press. Another type of briquetting machine is the hydraulic piston briquettes press. This is different from the mechanical piston briquettes press in that the power driven the piston is transmitted from an electric motor via a high pressure hydraulic oil system. And compare with the other kinds of briquette pressing machines, the hydraulic briquette presses can process materials with moisture content of 15 % which is much higher than the others.


Hydraulic Biomass Briquetter
 

In order to produce good quality briquettes, you need to choose the right briquette press according to the conditions of your feedstocks, such as particle size, moisture content; temperature of biomass and die, and sometime, the external additives is needed, depending on the composition of your raw materials. So if you want to open the door of biomass briquettes, you need to choose the right briquette press to profit your business.

A guide of how to choose piston press briquetting machine

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.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.
