Comparison Between Briquette Machine

We would like to make a detailed comparison between screw type briquette machine, mechanical stamping briquette machine and hydraulic briquette machine so that you will comprehend the three types of briquette machine well. At present two main high pressure technologies: ram or piston press and screw extrusion machines, are used for briquetting. While the briquettes produced by a piston press are completely solid, screw press briquettes on the other hand have a concentric hole which gives better combustion characteristics due to a larger specific area. The screw press briquettes are also homogeneous and do not disintegrate easily. Having a high combustion rate, these can substitute for coal in most applications and in boilers.

Screw Type Briquette Machine
The characters of this kind of briquette machine include the mold, namely, screw rod and sleeve which happen to be the forming mold of briquettes. The most outstanding trait of this model is low investment for briquettes. Because the working principle of the screw type briquette machine is easier so it is easy to learn. However, the screw type ones shall be maintained more often than other type of machine. Especially the head of screw rod shall be polished and then welded with electrode rods which demands operators become capable of handling the compression ratio between the screw rod and sleeve. This may be the tricky one for operators. But once the compression ratio is confirmed, the production yield will be quite smooth and the briquette machine will work with the capacity to the maximum. Therefore, the screw type briquette machine is more popular with clients from developing regions.



Mechanical Stamping Briquette Machine
The model is used in a wider range compared with the above ones because the demands for maintenance are not harsh but the prices of the briquette machine are actually higher than screw type ones. The mechanical stamping briquette machines, as it name suggests, carry out the stamping force which is different from the spirally squeezing strength used in the screw type briquette machines. Therefore the performance of the stamping type ones remains more stable with low input of maintenance upon the mold. Besides, the stamping briquette machine can be installed with different molds, namely, both briquettes and pellets can be produced. The binary working performance are appraised highly by more clients.

Hydraulic Briquette Machine
The model is largely capitalized on for producing a smaller amount of briquettes. Compared to the above two models, the Hydraulic briquette machine exerts hydraulic force as the engine, hence, the performance of it will be stable with the demands for relatively small amount of briquettes but the briquettes produced by the hydraulic briquette machine feature supreme quality and uniform appearance yet it is suggested that the machine not be used for a large production demand.


The above three types of briquette machine have their own features and prices. Clients can choose the one that fit for your requirement according to different raw materials, investment, utilization of finished products. Of course, many factories are producing the briquette machine with different prices. Although these briquette machines look the same from the surface, they may have different performance of briquetting and get different results. The clients should make a good control during so many factors. In a nutshell, you can choose the briquette machine as per your specific condition and budget to map out the plan of investment. As one of the leading briquette machine manufacturer in China, KMEC provide customers with all kinds of briquette machines with competitive price and superior service.
