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.
