The Importance of Biomass Energy

As we know, forest waste, agro residue and urban garbage are the main source of biofuel. These so-called wastes are actually handled improperly so that environmental problems come to us one after another, like landfill shortage, air pollution caused by burning the waste in open fields. We all can see conspicuously governments of different countries calling for limited emissions of greenhouse gas and punitive regulations and measures have been issued and carried out successively. The transformation and utilization of biomass energy has long been lifted to the prioritized schedule to produce more clean and renewable energy.

The collection and use of biomass material will stimulate local consumption and have farmers and forestry landlords’income enhanced. Furthermore, more employment opportunities can be offered and relevant industrial sectors will be injected with more energy. Actually all the work will facilitate the construction of a stable and prosperous society.

Compared to conventional fuel such as coal, petroleum and natural gas, biomass energy demands much less investment in technology and equipment. The development of biofuel cannot be achieved without enhancement in understanding of biofuel importance.

Making Biomass Briquette Charcoal with Maize Stalk and Corn Cobs

Maize stalk and corn cobs used to be burned directly at home for cooking in rural areas, and some of them are fed as forage for animal husbandry. Even stacks of stalks were piled behind residences posing a threat to human safety in case of fire hazards.

However, maize stalk and corn cobs can be processed into briquette charcoal as well. Autumn boasts the season of bumper harvest, and at the same time, a large amount of corn stalk and corn cobs will be produced. Matter of fact, the seemingly wasted material can be processed in a recycled manner into maize stalk briquettes and corn cobs briquette charcoal, the thermal value of which will hit 5000kcal, the equivalent of standard coal. After being combusted, the briquette charcoal, chemically speaking, will become plant ash which is used as potash fertilizer. In this special way, the conventional production of burning forest will be converted into green powerhouse for our sustained economic development, hands down.

Briquette machines are often used to process maize stalk and corn cobs into biomass briquette charcoal with the features of high efficiency, stable performance and low investment. For more information, please visit our website or contact us.

Using Biomass Material to Produce Biomass Energy with Briquette Machine

With the development of briquetting technology, more and more people start to use briquette machine to produce biomass fuel and feed with all kinds of biomass materials. Biomass material features coarse fibre, such as rice husk, cotton stalk, cotton seed husk, weeds and other agricultural crop wastes as well as wood and forest residue such as sawdust, saw shavings, bough and twigs and tree bark, grass and weeds and bushes. With regard to agro waste, the material can be processed into briquette forage and feed for animal husbandry and poultry breeding and aquaculture.

Biomass energy refers generally to fuel generated from plants, the fixed ground energy carrier. According to scientific statistics, annually reserved energy within plants equates ten fold equivalent of the worldwide main fuel consumption. However, the utilization of potential biomass energy accounts for merely 1%. The primitive energy form has not yet been given attention as much as it should be. Biofuel boasts the earliest and directly used energy for the sake of human beings. Across the world today, still above 1.5 billion people take biomass as domestic fuel. Despite the fact that a large amount of biomass material is still used with low efficiency by intensive labors, the expansion of application scale of biofuel such as briquettes and charcoal will be conducive to reduction of reliance upon fossil fuel and make contribution to global environment protection and climate change. 

Biomass energy will highlight the energy pattern transformation and becomes the mainstream of sustainable energy substitute. By 2015, biomass energy, including briquettes and charcoal, will take up above 40% of total energy consumption all over the globe.

Advantages of the Green Briquette Fuel

The widely use of biomass briquette fuel and charcoal promotes the investment in briquette making machine and charcoal production line. Therefore, the marketing of the low-carbon and environment-friendly renewable fuel remains favorably easier with quite specific aims. In this post, we will elaborate upon the advantages of the green briquette fuel.

1. The high calorific value of up to 4000kcal/kg of biomass briquettes will ramp up to 7000-8000kcal/kg after the process of carbonization.
2. The high purity of the fuel will lead to quite low impurity after being combusted, with low ash content and super low moisture content, free from coal gangue, which remains in favor of low investment of pretreatment.
3. The biofuel due to the trait free from sulfur and phosphor can protect boilers from corrosion to prolong service life of equipment on the one hand and on the other pollutant emissions such as sulfur dioxide and phosphorous pentoxide will not occur, with others lowered dramatically.
4. The labor costs will be reduced yet the working conditions improved.
5. Offscourings and dreg after combustion will be produced in a quite low volume so that the treatment cost can decrease a lot. Moreover, the ash and dreg boasts a supreme-quality organic potash fertilizer which can be recycled.

Briquette fuel not only brings much benefit to our daily life, but also profitable for mass production. If you want to start your own briquette fuel business, please feel free to contact us. KMEC will provide you with professional advice and machines with best quality.

Analysis of Bearing Wear of Briquette Machine

The reasons for the bearing wear of the briquette machine is verified, the post will list some of the common reasons for the bearing wear of the briquette machine in the early stages for users reference.

Improper installation of briquette machine
1. Using hammer to pound the bearing directly is the worst damage to the bearings when briquette machine is installed with violence. That is the primary reason for deformation
2. Briquette machine is not correctly installed, the briquette machine is installed with deviation or the bearing is not installed properly, that leads to too small bearing clearance. Inner and outer ring of bearing isn’t at the same center of rotation and is not concentric with each other.

Poor lubrication of bearing of briquette machine 
According to the report that poor lubrication is the most important reason for bearing wear in the early stages. Primary causes include:  No lubricate or grease timely, lubrication oil or lubricant is not properly injected; choosing inappropriate type of lubrication oil or lubricant; inappropriate way of lubrication and so on.  
Recommendation: choose the right type of lubrication oil or lubricant and inject it by the right way of lubrication
 
Contamination 
Contamination can cause damage to the bearing of briquette machine in the early stages. Contamination means dust, metal chips etc. enter into the inside of bearings. The primary causes include: open up the package of briquette machine bearing too early before use and cause contamination; install the briquette machine in a not clean environment and leads to contamination; bearing is working in a not clean condition and contaminated by the service substance.
Recommendation: It is better not to unpack the package of bearing before use; keep the circumstance clean when the machine is installed; clear the bearing before using; enhance the performance of sealing devices 
 
Bearing fatigue 
Bearing fatigue is a common damage phenomenon. General reason for causing bearing fatigue maybe include: bearing of briquette machine work overload for a long time; No maintenance of the bearing timely; improper maintenance; ageing of equipment.

Machine-made Charcoal and Ordinary Charcoal

Machine-made charcoal is produced by the carbonization of briquettes made through the briquette machine. It takes agricultural wastes like sawdust, straw, rice husk and peanut shell as raw materials through the processing of briquette machine. The basic process of machine-made charcoal briquetting production are mainly crushing, drying, briquetting and carbonization of the four steps. Then, what are the differences between machine-made charcoal and ordinary charcoal?

1. Machine-made charcoal adopt the agro-waste as the raw materials to produce, and it has no destruction to the trees and circumstances; ordinary charcoal made from burned wood directly. It not only requires cutting plenty of trees, but also brings a large amount of wastes to pollute the environment during the burning process.

2. The carbon content of charcoal is about 80% and the calorific value is 7500-8000kcal/kg, while the calorific value of ordinary charcoal is about 6500kcal/kg with less heat energy.

3. The charcoal is easy to burn and has no smoke, carbon fire head and spark during burning process. The burning ashes fall down naturally without floating. There is about 3-6% aches after burning process.

4. The charcoal has the features of regular shapes and proper structures, uniform of length and size, with or without hollow in the center part and easy to be burn and used.

5. Moisture content of machine-made charcoal is less than 5% while the ordinary charcoal has high degree of moisture content.

6. There are no chemical substances in the charcoal and there are no poisonous, harmful substances and gases in it. And it is without bitter taste.

Charcoal Furnace and Charcoal Kiln

Both charcoal furnance and charcoal kiln can be used to make charcoal with biomass materials. However, what are the differences between charcoal furnace and charcoal kiln when making charcoal briquettes? This post will make a comparison between the charcoal furnance and charcoal kiln to help users choose the correct machine and improve the working effiency.

Earth Kiln usually needs comparative long time, about 7-8 days during carbonization process. The exhaust gas is bad for human health and pollutes the environment. The complicated operation make the production process of earth kiln is inconvenient. If temperature is not properly controlled, the charcoal is easy to be burn into ashes.

Comparatively the production cycle of charcoal furnace is shorter, about 1 or 2 days before discharging. And the carbonization chamber is closed which could decrease the aches. There is purification plant at the bottom of the charcoal furnace which saves manpower. What you have to do is stand by the side of the furnace to examine the temperature and pick up information.

How to Make Briquettes Charcoal with Charcoal Briquette Machine

Charcoal briquette is a desirable fuel which produces a hot, long-lasting, virtually smokeless fire. A variety of materials can be squeezed into briquettes such as rice husk, peanut shell, cotton stalks, corn cobs and stalks, sorghum stalks, bean stalks, saw shavings, coconut shell and so on. And saw shavings as well as bamboo off cut and rice husk of all the kinds are the ideal ones.

There are four steps to make biomass waste into briquettes charcoal with charcoal briquette machine. First, biomass material shall be crushed into powder and fine granule. Second, crushed material is bound to being dried to 15% or so. Third, charcoal briquette machine are capable of squeezing raw material into briquettes. Last but not least, briquettes can be carbonized into charcoal with charcoal machines or carbonizing furnace. Specifically, charcoal briquette machines are chiefly used to turn biomass waste into biomass briquettes, the process of which is usually called deeper processing of biomass material whose application is different from charcoal. 

Business briquettes are usually used for heating and power generation, and another use of it remains to be made into charcoal. Different materials demand distinguished compression ratios, which is usually ignored by clients. Therefore, some client may want to know the reasons for failure of briquetting even after propeller adjustment and inspection upon wear and tear. The fineness and hardness of material exert some impact upon the compression ratio of screw rod. Charcoal briquette machine enjoys a quite extensive market. Electro welding technology can just help the rod to survive for 30 hours or so while oxygen or spray welding is capable of cracking the problem of high temperature resistance. Besides, wear-resistant material under electro welding cannot smelt into steel material evenly, the latter of which is made into screw rods. Charcoal briquettes machine takes waste material, off cut and residue of agriculture, forestry and industry as raw material to produce biomass briquette fuel which can be further carbonized into charcoal with charcoal machine or carbonizing furnace.

Influence of the Temperature of Biomass Materials

Apart from the moisture content and particle size of raw materials, the temperature of biomass material is another important factor that would influence the process of briquetting. The post will talk about the influence of the temperature of materials for your reference.

By varying the temperature of biomass materials, the briquette density, briquette crushing strength and moisture stability can be varied. In a screw extruder, the temperature does not remain constant in the axial direction of the press but gradually increases. Internal and external friction causes local heating and the material develops self-bonding properties at elevated temperatures. It can also be assumed that the moisture present in the material forms steam under high pressure conditions which then hydrolyses the chemically lose and lignin portions of biomass into lower molecular carbohydrates, lignin products, sugar polymers and other derivatives. These products, when subjected to heat and pressure in the die, act as adhesive binders and provide a bonding effect “in situ”. The addition of heat also relaxes the inherent fibers in biomass and apparently softens its structure, thereby reducing their resistance to which in turn results in decreased specific power consumption and a corresponding increase in production rate and reduction in wear of the contact parts. However, the temperature should not be increased beyond the decomposition temperature of biomass which is around 300°C.

When producing biomass briquettes with briquette machine, we need to control the temperature of materials well so as to improve the briquetting quality and the working efficiency of the briquette machine.

How does Moisture Content Affect the Briquetting Process

The moisture content of raw materials plays an important role in the briquetting process, it decides the quality of finished products directly. Therefore, it is quite necessary to know the moisture content of materials and how it influences the briquetting process before making briquettes with biomass briquette machine.

The percentage of moisture in the feed biomass to extruder machine is a very critical factor. In general, it has been found that when the feed moisture content is 8-10%, the moisture content of briquettes will be 6-8%. At this moisture content, the briquettes are strong and free of cracks and the process is smooth. But when the moisture content is more than 10%, the briquettes are poor and weak and the operation is erratic. Excess steam is produced at higher moisture content leading to the blockage of incoming feed from the hopper, and sometimes it shoots out the briquettes from the die. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain optimum moisture content.

In the process water also acts as a film type binder by strengthening the bonding in briquettes. In the case of organic and cellular products, water helps in promoting bonding by increasing the true area of contact of the particles. In fact, the surface effects of water are so pronounced that the success or failure of the compaction process solely depends upon the moisture content of the material. The right amount of moisture develops self-bonding properties in lignocelluloses substances at elevated temperatures and pressures prevalent in machines. It is important to establish the initial moisture content of the biomass feed so that the briquettes produced have moisture content greater than the equilibrium value, otherwise the briquettes may swell during storage and transportation and disintegrate when exposed to humid atmospheric conditions.

The Effect of Particle Size and Shape on Briquetting Process

As we know, there are many factors that may influence the process of briquetting, both in good and bad ways. This post will talk about one of those factors, the particle size and shape, to help users gain a better understanding of the briquetting process and produce briquettes with better quality.

Particle size and shape are of great importance for biomass densification. It is generally agreed that biomass material of 6-8 mm size with 10-20% powdery component (< 4 mesh) gives the best results. Although the screw extruder which employs high pressure (100 0 - 1500 bar), is capable of material of oversized particles, the will not be smooth and clogging might take place at the entrance of the die resulting in jamming of the machine. The larger particles which are not conveyed through the screw start accumulating at the entry point and the steam produced due to high temperature (due to rotation of screw, heat conducted from the die and also if the material is preheated) inside the barrel of the machine starts condensing on fresh cold feed resulting in the formation of lumps and leads to jamming. That is why the processing conditions should be changed to suit the requirements of each particular biomass. Therefore, it is desirable to crush larger particles to get a random distribution of particle size so that an adequate amount of sufficiently small particles is present for embedding into the larger particles. The presence of different size particles improves the packing dynamics and also contributes to high static strength. Only fine and powdered particles of size less than 1 mm are not suitable for a screw extruder because they are less dense, more cohesive, non-free flowing entities.

Besides the particle size and shape of raw materials, there are many other factors, such as the moisture content and temperature, etc. In the following post we will talk about the two factors in detail.

Three Factors Affecting the Briquetting Process

During the briquetting process, the quality of finished products would be influenced by various factors. The post is going to give you a brief introduction of how the species, particle size and compressive pressure affect the briquette making.

As for the species of material, the hardwood and softwood have different density, so the finished products of them are varied in density. The hardwood has high density and the thermal value is higher than the softwood material. While the softwood materials are difficult to compress into briquette by the briquette machine. Under the same condition, the hardwood has good performance in the briquetting process and consumption effect. As for the crop straw and other biomass material, the density is lower than the wood material in general. And it is difficult for them to briquetting by the briquette making machine.

Particle size plays an important role to the briquette machine. The agriculture waste or forest waste are different in shape and size, which are disadvantages to the briquetting process. As for the features of the waste residues, the hammer mill or the debarking machine is used to reduce the particle size of the material. It can increase the contact surface of the particles which strengthen the combing force between them. So the briquette has high density. At the same time, the briquette has high thermal value with less ash content and waste air.

Compressive pressure is the key point in the briquetting process. The quality of finished products is greatly decided upon the briquetting process. And a good quality briquette making machine can compress the material well no matter what kind of material for briquetting. Compressive pressure is the heart technology of the biomass briquette making machine. While the pressure come form the durable wear parts, scientific design of the structure and the proper adjustment of the briquette making machine. In addition, an experienced operator has good knowledge of the technology is a plus of the briquetting process success. The bigger the pressure is, the lignin content contained in the biomass material is more reliable to come out to combine the relaxed material. But the biggest pressure can damage the briquetting machine sometimes, if the pressure is beyond the wearing resistance of the wear parts. Of course, too small of the pressure give rise to the failure of the briquetting or the finished products are lower in density which are easy to break during transportation.

Besides the three factors mentioned above, in fact, the quality of biomass briquette machine plays a fundamental role in the briquette making. Therefore, it is quite important to choose a briquette machine with good equality and excellent performance. KMEC is a professional provider of briquette making machine. We have been engaged in manufacturing and exporting of briquette machine for many years. We look forward to cooperate with you.

Sawdust Briquette Machine

Biofuel is an environment friendly fuel made from biomass and agriculture residues with the help of briquette machine. As a kind of new renewable fuel, it is mainly produced from biomass materials. Solid biofuel is a wide field and includes woody biomass (chips, hogfuel, firewood, wood pellets, briquettes), herbaceous biomass (straw, grass, miscanthus etc, fruit biomass (olive stones, cherry pits, grape waste, nut shells etc), as well as a group called blends and mixture. It has almost no sulfur or mercury in biofuel, so it doesn't pollute the environment and generate green house gas. Besides, biofuel is a lot cheaper than traditional fossil fuels, therefore the need for biofuel is growing day by day.

As the main tool to produce biofuel and biomass briquettes, the characters of sawdust briquette machine include stable performance, low costs and quick-earn profits to produce briquettes and charcoal with high density and thermal value.

Methods to Improve the Briquetting Quality and Efficiency

Biomass briquetting is a complicated process. In order to get successful briquetting, you need to have a good understanding and master the skills of the whole process. The following are some factors that could influence the quality and efficiency of the briquetting.

Drying: To maintain output moisture of around 15 percent, the temperature of the discharge flue gas should be maintained at 85 degrees C. This can be done by controlling the cold air injection into the hot air from the hot air generator.

Die Holder Temperature: For smooth production of briquettes, the die holder temperature should be maintained around 300 degrees C by regulating the water flow into the die holder.

Die Holder Pressure: The die holder pressure is similarly maintained at the desired level.

Cooling Oil Temperature: The lubricating oil temperature should be controlled by an automated radiator fan.

Grinding: It is difficult to optimize loading of the grinding system, however, traveling bottom bins are effective. The bottom bin speed is adjusted and controlled in proportion to the desired input into the grinder and increases until the maximum grinding load is achieved. On/off controls start functioning at optimum loading.

Densification Equipment: Controlling the material input flow from the storage bin into the briquette machine is relatively easy. The input flow increases to maximum load per the load setting on the press.

Besides the above factors, there are other requirements to improve the briquetting quality and efficiency, such as the raw materials used, the replacement of wearing parts and so on. Contact us for more information.

How to Reduce the Moisture Content of Raw Materials

The moisture content of raw materials is an important factor in the briquette production. However, raining and heavy frog often cause the moisture content of raw materials increased when we use the biomass processing equipment, which would affect the quality of charcoal or biomass briquette seriously. Therefore, we must pay attention to moisture content and dry the materials before briquetting them.

High-speed hot air stream is often used in the biomass briquette process to dry the materials. The hot air enters into the bottom of the drier in tangent direction. Under the driving of the stirrer, a powerful rotating wind field is formed. The paste state materials enter into the drier through the screw charger. Under the powerful function of the stirring vanes at high-speed rotation, the materials are distributed under the function of strike, friction and shearing force. The block state materials will soon be smashed and contact the hot air fully and the materials are heated and dried. The dried materials after the de-watering will go up with the heat-air flow. The step rings will stop and keep the big particles. Small particles will be discharged out of the drier from the ring center and will be restored by the cyclone and dust remover. The not-fully-dried or big piece materials will be sent to the wall of the equipment by centrifugal force function and be smashed again after they fall down to the bottom.

The Features of Briquette Charcoal

Nowadays, briquette charcoal is used widely in industrial production to generate power and heat. Comparing with other energy sources, the briquette charcoal has the following features:

1. Environment protection: with Kingman briquette charcoal machines and briquetting presses, wood waste and offcut from lumbering and saw mills can be converted into biomass briquettes and pellets. Briquette charcoal can be kindled easily and it is smokeless and spark-free in combustion and nontoxic. Charcoal ash in the process of combustion accounts for just 3%-6% and it will subside without adrift.

2. High thermal value: Charcoal briquettes have higher density. The carbon content is around 80% and the calorific value can reach 7500-8000kcal/kg. While the carbon content of raw wood charcoal much lower and its calorific value is only about 6500kcal/kg. Fixed carbon content of briquette charcoal accounts for above 80%, with the thermal value of roughly 7500-8000Kcal/kg while the fixed carbon content of wood-turned charcoal just remains lower, with the thermal value reaching less than 6000Kcal/kg.

3. The moisture content of briquette charcoal is much lower than wood-turned charcoal, which is also one of the factors that thermal value of the former maintains quite higher, generally at 5%.

4. Uniform shape in dense structure: the length and size of briquette charcoal is more or less like each other with the hollow structure in center, favorable for combustion and storage and transportation.

5. Briquette charcoal is free from chemicals and featuring long-time burning, smokeless and flavorless. Charcoal products made from charcoal extruder is inflammable, smoke-free, has no spark and float dust when burning.

With the advantages mentioned above, we believe that the briquette charcoal will play a more and more important role in our future life and make much contribution to the development of our society.

The Cost for Biomass Briquette Production

Governments all over the world gradually come to realize the importance of biomass briquettes and briquette charcoal replacing wood-turned charcoal or direct combustion of woods. Under the encouragement of governments in developing briquetting plants and charcoal plants, more and more people start to invest in biomass briquette production.

When talking about the cost for biomass briquette production, there are several factors that we need to consider. Of course, the money for the briquette machine is the most important part during the production. If it is a complete production line, you have to spend more money on the expense for equipment. The second is the collection of raw material. People would say that the waste material is cheap in the field, but collecting, storage and transportation is a big issue for the biomass briquetting process. If we pay less attention to the whole process, it may affect the briquetting process and the finished products. Rainy season may increase the moisture content of the material, which is bad for the whole process. In addition, the energy consumption during the production is a factor that we should consider. It should keep balance between the energy output with energy input. Then, the necessary maintaining of the machine is the ensurance to the normal operation of the briquette machine. The easy-wearing parts requires to be replaced regularly which is a big investment for a long period of time.

Above is a brife assessment for the cost of biomass briquette production, we hope it may helpful for you before starting your briquetting business. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. We will provide you with the most professional advice and briquette machines of all kinds.

The Advantages of Biofuel

With the development of social industrialization, the demand for energy is increasing. In order to meet the increasing demand of energy, people start to looking for new energies instead of traditional energy sources, among which the biofuel is used widely in our daily life. The post aims to talk about the advantages of biofuel for your reference.

Source material: Whereas oil is a limited resource that comes from specific materials, biofuel can be manufactured from a wide range of materials including crop waste, manure, and other byproducts. This makes it an efficient step in recycling.

Renewability: It takes a very long time for fossil fuels to be produced, but biofuels are much more easily renewable as new crops are grown and waste material is collected.

Security: Biofuels can be produced locally, which decreases the nation's dependence upon foreign energy. By reducing dependence on foreign fuel sources, countries can protect the integrity of their energy resources and make them safe from outside influences.

Lower carbon emissions: When biofuels are burned, they produce significantly less carbon output and fewer toxins, making them a safer alternative to preserve atmospheric quality and lower air pollution.

The Use of Straw and Stalks

A survey has been conducted nationwide in China on the use of agro straw and stalks, it shows that the combustion of agro residue reaching 215 million tons and 15 million as base stock for growing plants. The use ratio of the previous accounts for roughly 31% while the latter takes up just 2.14%. And the situation also brings challenges to other countries which possess abundant biomass materials.

In fact, there are more than the two ways of putting straw and stalks into use, among which the most promising and eye-catching direction is to integrate biomass materials and producing biofuel. Speaking of agro residue such as straw and stalks, they can be processed into feed and forage for animal husbandry.

With the development of briquetting technology, an increasing number of people start to produce biofuel and feed with their own agricultural residues like straw and stalks. We believe that under the help of briquette machines, more and more agricultural residues could be used to the fullest and brings more benefits for us.

Biofuel Develops Quickly in China

It is widely acknowledged that biofuel technology regarding biomass power generation, biogas production, liquid biofuel, solid biomass fuel has made huge progress in recent years. The four types of biomass energy account for a major part within the renewable energy structure. The power generation capacity from biomass has reached 3 million KWH, taking straw and stalks and other agro residue as feedstock. The ongoing constructed projects hit 100 except another 20 having been running smoothly this year.

According to the policies released by National Energy Administration, the strategic target of developing biomass energy and fuel is that regarding the goal of reaching at least 10% of supplementary fuel has been successfully achieved in 2010, we will do our utmost to move the proportion of biofuel to 15% about 2020, about 25% in 2030 and 40% around 2050, respectively.

As a big agricultural country, we have abundant biomass materials. It creats conditions for the development of biofuel in our country, we believe that the briquette industry will have a brighter future both in China and all over the world.

Processing Peanut Shells with Peanut Shell Briquette Press

Peanut, also called groundnut, ground-pea, earth nut and manila-nut, is a kind of profit plant widely grown in China. However, after harvesting of peanut or through varied methods of processing, the shells of peanut are often abandoned in a very long period of time. The chemical composition of peanut shells is 8.2% protein, 28.8% lignin, 37.0% cellulose and 2.5% carbohydrate.

Until recently, the peanut briquetting technology is developed to process the wasted peanut shells into briquettes as fuel for heating with the peanut shell briquette press, a kind of upgraded briquette press. It features elegant appearance and rapid speed of production to extrude high-density briquette fuel and the briquette machines also paves a way for briquette carbonization with charcoal machine.

Kingman briquette press can take a variety of materials as feedstock such as grain straw and stalks, sawdust, saw shavings, tree branches and twigs, rice husk, bamboo offcut, peanut shell, sunflower seed shell, bagasse, wine dreg, furfural residue, corn cobs, coconut shell and coffee shell. Those materials can be made into biomass briquettes after being crushed. Under the circumstances of high temperature and high pressure, materials would be easily squeezed into briquettes. We also offer charcoal machines to carbonize briquettes. Both the briquette press and briquette charcoal machine are characterized by green production without any additives or mixed with any harmful chemicals.

The Utilization of Biomass Briquettes

The use of biomass briquettes has been increased steadily as people realized the benefits of decreasing pollution through the use of biomass briquettes. The post is going to talk about the biomass briquettes to be used as fuels.

Briquettes provide higher calorific value per dollar than coal when used for firing industrial boilers. Along with higher calorific value, biomass briquettes on average saved 30–40% of boiler fuel cost. But other sources suggest that cofiring is more expensive due to the widespread availability of coal and its low cost. However, in the long run, briquettes can only limit the use of coal to a small extent, but it is increasingly being pursued by industries and factories all over the world. Both raw materials can be produced or mined domestically in the United States, creating a fuel source that is free from foreign dependence and less polluting than raw fossil fuel incineration.

Environmentally, the use of biomass briquettes produces less greenhouse gas, specifically, 13.8% to 41.7% CO2 and NOx. There is also a reduction from 11.1% to 38.5% in SO2 emissions when compared to coal from three different leading producers, EKCC Coal, Decanter Coal, and Alden Coal. Biomass briquettes are also fairly resistant to water degradation, an improvement over the difficulties encountered with the burning of wet coal. However, the briquettes are best used only as a supplement to coal. The use of cofiring creates an energy that is not as high as pure coal, but emits fewer pollutants and cuts down on the release of previously sequestered carbon. The continuous release of carbon and other greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere leads to an increase in global temperatures. The use of cofiring does not stop this process but decreases the relative emissions of coal power plants.

Charcoal Briquette Machine

Charcoal briquette press machine, also called charcoal briquettes machine or screw briquette machine, has become a reliable helping hand for farmers turning their agricultural residue such as rice husk, wheat straw, corn stalks and cobs into briquettes and charcoal and won a lucrative business for them over the past years.

However, farmers working within their individual farmland cannot expand the production line in a larger scale due to limited space and counting on themselves alone. Therefore, more people collectively purchase raw material from farmland and start their own professional briquette plant with more working areas.Besides material offered by general farmland farmers, other materials such as furfural residue, bagasse, mashroon cobs, refined sludge, residue from paper making factories and wood panel and plank rich in carbon substances.

As a promising industry of green energy, charcoal briquette machine and briquette plant enjoy high yield yet low cost bringing more profits to you. Kingman can offer you both small-scale charcoal briquette plant and large-capacity briquette machine to meet your demands.

Introduction of Biomass Briquette Machine

Almost all plants can be processed with the biomass briquette machine and others shall be pretreated prior to briquetting. The available biomass material to be made into biomass briquettes and charcoal covers a wide range, such as sawdust, straw, stalk, rice husk, palm EFB and palm tree, bough and twigs and so on.

Speaking of the processing equipment, the first striking us should be biomass briquette machines. The equipment is counted as the mainstay of a complete briquette production line. We can take crop stalk as an example to be made into briquette fuel. A complete straw briquette production project should cover several imperative sections, namely, cutting, crushing, drying, briquetting, cooling and packaging. Therefore, the equipment involved should be hay cutter, dryer, hammer mill, biomass briquette machine, conveyer, packing machine and so on.

Knowing the differences in screw-type briquette machine, mechanical tamping briquette machine and hydraulic briquette machine, you could pick up the most suitable model according to your expectation of unit-time yield, material species, investment budget and other factors. If you feel puzzled about how to start a complete briquette production line, please feel free to contact us. We can deliver you a systematic design with comprehensive know-how.

The Development of Briquette Charcoal Around the World

According to statistics, there are about 2.4 billion people around the world using wood, charcoal, coal and other plant materials (biomass) as their primary source of cooking fuels. In developing countries, the burning of biomass accounts for 80% of all household fuel use. The burning of unprocessed biomass brings bad influence on people's health and environment. Deforestation also causes soil erosion, increases vulnerability to flood and causes low crop yields from farms. The fuel from the field team developed a method of producing charcoal from previously unused agricultural waste products. Charcoal provides significant advantages over raw biomass fuel because the process of carbonization reduces the particulate emissions and reduces the risk of developing respiratory infections.

The solid biomass forming technology has showing the tendency to its maturity up to now. Besides, relevant systems and standards are being set up to form a complete industrial chain and model from biomass material collection to production of briquette and charcoal, distribution and application of the biofuel. 2005 saw the production of solid biofuel total more than 4.2 million tons, among which American continents accounted for 1.1million, 3 million tons in Europe respectively. And in 2007 alone, more than 5 million tons of solid biomass fuel was generated. Hundreds of briquette plants and charcoal plants made huge contribution to the impressive progress. The production capability of an individual plant reached 200,000 tons annually on average.

Nowadays, an increasing number of briquette charcoals and other biomass briquettes are used in every industry and show great potential in the future use of fuels. We believe that briquette charcoal will play an more and more important role in our daily life and make our life better and better.

The Condition of Briquetting In India

Nowadays, there is a huge demand for the new and clean energy to meet the requirements of the new environmental law and reduce emissions of the fossil fuels. Agrowaste shows great potential in India as a source of energy instead of fossil fuels. It can be used as the raw materials of biomass briquette fuels through the processing of briquette machine.

The process of briquetting is the physical transformation of loose raw materials mostly made of agro-waste like rice husks, bagasse, ground nut shells and other organic materials like municipal solid waste into high density fuel briquettes through a compacting process. The resultant form change increased the calorific value of the product as compared to loose material.

Households in rural India are highly depend on firewood as their main source of energy, partly because non-biofuels tend to be expensive, and access to affordable fuel alternatives to coal, gas, kerosene and electricity for cooking and heating is in limited. Since the early 1980s, three types of briquetting technologies were introduced into India--PARU, screw extruder and piston press.

The technique for briquetting is not complex in the sense that it does not demand microelectronics or highly sophisticated operating conditions or techniques. It uses local materials as process inputs, and the equipment can be made in standard engineering workshops. Briquetting can therefore be considered as a particularly appropriate technology for indigenous production and use in rural areas of a developing country such as India.

Different Materials Used in the Briquettes Production

The material is an essential and important part when producing biomass briquettes with briquette machines. The quality and species of the material determines the quality and features of briquettes directly.

Different materials have different performance and moisture content during the briquetting technology, so does the briquetting effect. In general, the hardwood is easy for briquetting and the finished products are high in density and hardness. While the softwood or corps straw is low in density after densification, and they are soft and easy to break. So, when we talk about the briquetting technology, the first thing we should consider is the species of material. Choosing proper material and use the machine which are adapt to the material is to ensure the result of briquette.

Customers had better choose their own briquette machine according to the materials they use, therefore, they can enhance the end product yield rate and reduce the manufacture cost as well. If you are looking for briquette machines with good quality and favorable price, not hesitate to contact us.

Renewable Energy Used Around the world

As we all know, fossil fuels belong to the resources which cannot be regenerated.
The development of economy greatly depends on the energy industry. Actually, the developed countries have passed through the time focusing on economic development without concerning the environmental protection, though they have developed rapidly during that period. China, as the biggest developing country, we have to seize the opportunity of economic development, and we can not neglect the protection of environment at the same time. That is to say, we have to change our industry pattern from heavy pollution project to green project to supply green environment for our next generation. Briquette machine is just one of the industry during the total green industry, the development of briquette machine has great influence on the economic development in the future.

By 2050, renewable energy will become the dominating one. Until now, three main energy supply systems have been formed, namely, electricity, petroleum supply and natural gas supply, all of which will remain their forces within a short term. However, as we can tell more and more countries have laid down or will map out their own strategy of renewable energy. European Union regulates the value of renewable energy consumption will account for 20% and 50% by 2020 and by 2050 respectively. The US by 2030 will replace 30% of petroleum products with biomass material, accounting for half of the total energy consumption in the country. As for China, the upcoming biggest world trader, renewable energy will take up 15% or so by 2020, 25% around 2030 and roughly 40% by 2050 separately, with the biomass energy taking the leading role.

Common Faults of Briquette Machine

It is inevitable for the users to encounter some failures when using briquette machine to produce biomass briquettes. Generally, we can fix them according to the fault phenomenon in most cases. The post aims to show you some common faults of briquette machine for your reference, I hope it may help you in your daily production.

Repeated restart
The repeated restart of the briquette machine is due to the low power supply of the equipment, which is not enough to cause the drive of the briquette machine. First, use the multi meter to detect the power supply voltage of the machine, which must be measured in the load and open conditions, so as to determine whether there are power supply problems. The particular note is that power consumption of the open and closed states of the heater are far more different from each other. When supplying the electricity, the maximum power of the briquette machine must be considered to ensure the normal power supply of the machine.

Wearing of spare parts
Regular examination of the spare part is important, especially for those which are quick wearing parts. When the finished briquette is not regular in shape, or the production is drop greatly, it maybe caused by the wearing of spare parts. To replace the easy wearing parts instantly is vital important for the normal operation of the briquette machine.

Abnormal sound
After a period of time, the briquette machine has abnormal sound during operation. As for this problem, you'd stop the machine and look up the reason. The first thing you should notice is the lubrication of briquette machine. If the machine works with long time, the lubricant parts should be added great to facilitate the briquetting process. Good lubrication ensures the smooth operation with stop. Sometime, it may be caused by the stones or other things which enter into the machine. The small things can not block the machine at first, but it may lead to the abnormal sound of the machine. If you can not stop the machine to examine the machine, it may destroy the machine or injured the operators.

Above are the three common faults of briquette machine listed, if you still have any other questions, feel free to contact us. We are glad to answer all your questions about the briquette machine.

Tips in the Drying of Materials

The moisture content of raw materials is one of the key factors regarding the quality of briquettes. Too much or less moisture content in the materials will not not only influence the forming of briquettes, but decrease the production efficiency and cause a waste of time and money. Therefore, in order to get proper moisture content, the drying of materials becomes an important part in the production of briquettes. Here are some tips in the drying of materials:

1. Feeding volume also refers to feeding speed at certain time. For example, within one hour the more raw material is put into dryer, the lower drying level will be. Our design and offer of drying system depends upon the requirements for production yield from clients. If clients put into production a briquetting plant with designed yield of 2 tons per hour to produce in effect 3 tons per hour. And clients may speed up feeding of raw material to rush to produce briquettes forcibly which will result in not only subpar drying degree, but also further affecting the quality of briquettes or even leading to no briquettes produced.

2. Material size is another crucial factor impacting drying efficiency. The larger material size goes, the higher the possibility of material sediment within drying pipeline will be increased. As an adverse result, the passageway for material going through pipeline will be narrowed in this regard within drying channel. Of course the design and offer of drying system are also related to briquetting requirement. That means neither oversized material can achieve smooth briquetting performance nor material of too small size can be made into briquettes due to lower cohesiveness of too mealy size. That’s why a crusher is usually brought into pretreatment section in a briquetting plant.

3. Hot air temperature control is interacted with feeding volume and material size as well. When feeding volume to some extent within unit time is stable, the higher temperature goes, the more raw material can be put in.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Fuel Densification

Briquettes and pellets can be used instead of firewood and coal for stoves and boilers due to their good flowability, uniform water content, grain size and chemical composition. Briquettes and pellets are the densification of fuel. In this post, we would like to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of fuel densification.

The main advantages of fuel densification compared with not densified fuels are as follows:
Increased bulk density after the densification, this reduces transport costs, reduces the need for storage space, and simplified the handling of the fuel.
Increased energy density and more homogeneous composition provide better options for burning, and therefore a more efficiency combustion process.

The main disadvantage of fuel densification is the relatively high cost of input energy, which is needed for the production of pellets and briquettes. This will also increase the price of the output product. The output product is in the form of briquettes or pellets. Calorific value, water content and chemical composition are approximately same for both, but the density and strength is usually higher for pellets. The main difference is in size. Pellets are 4-5times longer than their diameter, while briquettes have a diameter of 80-90mm. briquettes and pellets provide a simple use in the fully automatic operation from home use to large scale applications.

Application of Biomass Briquettes

As we know, biomass briquettes are solid biofuel which can be made from sawdust, wood, straw, grass, stalk, peanut shell, sunflower husk and other agricultural wastes. Biomass briquettes can be applied in many areas. In most cases, the biomass briquettes are used for home heating in winter and cooking. It can also be used for BBQ, power plants and other industries.

Comparing with the burning of coal, the biomass briquettes have unique features of high thermal efficiency, easy to transport and less ash content etc. One important advantages of biomass briquette is that it belongs to renewable energy. Fossil fuel like gas or oil can be used up one day, because these resources are limited and can not be generate in short period of time. Therefore, biomass material are renewable energy, it can be planted and grow in a certain period of time. That is to say, there materials are resourceful. In the light of environmental protection, biomass briquettes are a kind of environmental green resources, it has no carbon emission in the atmosphere.

KMEC provide all kinds of briquetting machines with excellent quality and favorable price, welcome customers from all over the world come to purchase.

The Production of Biomass Fuel Briquettes

Biomass fuel briquettes are solid bio fuel which can be made from agricultural wastes, such as sawdust, wood, straw, grass, stalk, peanut shell, sunflower husk, sugar residue, lees, bagasse, coconut shell, coffee grounds, corrugated carton, etc. The post is going to talk about the process of biomass fuel briquettes.

1.Material collection
For making fuel briquettes, you must have sufficient quantity of raw material supply. This is the guarantee for continuous production. Usually the fuel briquette plant is advised to build near the raw material so that the transportation cost is saved.

2.Biomass grinding/crushing
Most of the time, your raw material is larger than the required briquetting size: 2-5mm, so it shall be grinded or crushed first (if raw material is 3-5mm sawdust, this step is unnecessary). For crushing the raw material, a crusher is needed. The capacity is in accordance with that of fuel briquette machine. For wood logs, the wood chipper is also needed. After crushing, the raw material can be 2-5mm in size.

3.Raw material drying
Those biomasses like wood, fresh straw or stalk may contain too much moisture that is higher than 8-12% (as required). As a result, they shall be dried before briquetting. The dryer (airflow dryer or drum dry) is indispensable for a complete fuel briquette plant.

4.Briquette making
The most important equipment for making bio fuel briquettes is bio fuel briquette machine. There are mainly three types of bio fuel briquette machines made by GEMCO: screw briquette machine, mechanical stamping briquette machine and hydraulic briquette press. Screw briquette machine is usually used by those who make biomass fuel briquettes or high quality charcoal briquettes for sale. The briquettes made by screw briquette machine have regular shape and good appearance, which give them a good price. The mechanical stamping briquette machine is usually used in large biomass briquetting plant which produces fuel briquettes for industrial use. Hydraulic briquette press has comparatively small capacity, which is good for small plants that require more about the cleanness of production environment.

5.Cooling and packing
After made by the briquette machine, biomass fuel briquettes are very hot and need to be cooled. They can be cooled by air. Then if the fuel briquettes are for sale or for storage, they shall be packed in bags or boxes.

Method to Test the Moisture Content of Materials

The moisture content of materials will influence the briquetting process greatly, then how to test the moisture content of materials becomes quite important when using briquette machine to produce biomass briquettes. The post will tell you the method to test the moisture content of materials for your reference.

In general, we can inspect from observation and touch by hand. As long as we accumulate our experience, this method is workable. At first, we can touch the outer shell of the separator by hand touching, if it feed hot, it is ok; the second is that we can observe the color of the material which just discharger. If it is yellow, then it is up to the standard. The third is to grab the material by hand. Using hand to knead the material hard, release them quickly. If the material can be spread completely, it is ok. If all the requirements can be up to the standard, then the material is proper. Of course, this should be tested by the briquette machine. If the machine is in normal operation and the finished product is up to the standard, then the moisture content is proper.

Factors Affecting the Briquetting Process

Apart from the quality of briquette machines, there are three factors which would affect the briquetting process--the moisture content of raw materials, the propeller and the proper temperature for briquetting. The post is going to talk about the three factors in detail.

1.The moisture content of raw materials: The briquette machine has high standard to the moisture content of raw materials. Generally, the required moisture content is about 5-12%. If the moisture content is below 5%, the material has bad adhesive ability and is difficult to convert, the finished products would be loose and not strong enough; if the moisture content is over 12%, the briquette is soft with low density.

In general, moisture content of fresh material is about 50%, it needs to be dried by the drying machine for 1-2 times. If the material can be dried under sunshine for 1-2 days, then the time for drying can be reduced to 1time. All in all, the material for briquette should be dried for at least one time.

2.Propeller: The finished product is qualified or not is decided by the quality of propeller. The propeller is a quick wearing parts, the top of it is rotating in fast speed and has friction force with the material, so it is easy to wear significantly. When the angle of surface is small or the surface become not smooth with spots, the finished products are low in quality or even without discharging. At this time, the machine should be repaired according to the instruction of engineers, so the machine can be up to the standard.

3.The working temperature of briquette machine: Temperature of cylinder of formation should be controlled at about 260-320 degree. The temperature depends on the material. At first, we should know that increasing the temperature is to soften the lignin in the wood to increase the stickiness, which are beneficial to the compression. If the temperature is high, the material is soft too much, the discharging speed is too fast, but the briquette is not strong enough. If the temperature is low, then the material has low stickiness, the briquette is not strong with cracks. So we have to master the proper temperature of briquetting through repeated tests.

In general, the bamboo material has low temperature, it is proper to keep them at 260-280 degree. The temperature for sawdust is about 280-300 degree properly, and the straw or husk is about 300-320 degree. Of course, the temperature should be considered about the real moisture content of material. Even for the same material, the temperature for briquette is different.  In addition, the surface color of briquette can not too deep, brownish black is ok.

How to Choose Biomass Briquette Machines

Biomass briquette machines play an important role in the production of biomass briquettes. The quality of biomass briquette machines determines the quality of the finished products and the work efficiency of the machine directly. Therefore, how to choose the biomass briquette machines is of importance. The post will give you some suggestions when choosing the biomass briquette machines.

First, production yield not only affects whether the scale production can be realized or not, but also exerts great influence on cost recovery and profits generation. If your expected production is 1 ton, the machine can not achieve the goal. That means that you have to pay for additional money for labor force, energy consumption and machinery wearing. To achieve the biggest output in the unit time is the primary tusk for the brqiuetting process. Even you can not produce more briquette, saving money and energy is beneficial for your briquetting process.

Second, energy consumption against the unit-time output also is counted as another quite crucial factor and it should be considered compatible with the previous factor, yield. Except the production, the second factor that you should considered is energy consumption. For the output and input of energy, there should be a good balance between them. That means you have to produce more product for energy than the energy you have put into the process. Saving energy is to save money for the whole production.

Third, you need to notice about the quick-wear parts. But it should be acknowledged that the factor also impacts your investment in a briquette plant project. Prior to the purchase of briquettes, you are entitled to get to know the service life and material of molds and the spare parts so that to reduce costs and maximize the profits. The most quickest easy wearing parts for the briquette machine is the propeller. Regular changing of propeller maybe the most important input for maintaining. Anyway, do not just concern about the price of mold, because a good-quality material deserves the corresponding costs.

Except for the above suggestions, there are other factors you need also take into consideration, such as the salary to the workers, the fee for storage and transporation an so on. If you want to know more or purchase a biomass briquette machine, feel free to contact us.

Using Crushed Carton to Make Biomass Briquettes

As we know, biomass briquettes can be made from agricultural wastes. They can be used as a replacement for fossil fuel such as oil or coal in heat boiler in manufacturing plants and also been applied in developing countries. As a renewable source of energy, biomass briquettes can avoid fossil carbon to the atmosphere. A number of companies in China have switched from furnace oil to biomass briquettes to save cost on boiler fuels.

Recently, paper briquettes becomes very popular. KMEC is capable of offering paper-turned and carton-turned briquette and charcoal production line including paper or carton crusher, dryer, conveyer, paper and carton briquette machine and charcoal machine and packaging machine, in a bid to help you turn carton or paper material into briquette fuel or charcoal in a systematic manner.
