Sawdust Briquette Press

Sawdust briquette charcoal, as its name suggests, is produced with sawdust briquette press.



Biomass briquettes, or called manmade charcoal or regenerated charcoal or smokeless charcoal are squeezed from crushed sawdust by sawdust briquette press. The product in the very beginning stemmed from a kind of fuel used in Japan. The translation of the fuel was then machine-made charcoal. As a matter of fact, 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, sawdust, saw shavings, coconut shell and so on. Sawdust and saw shavings as well as bamboo offcut and rice husk of all the kinds are the ideal ones. Sawdust briquette charcoal enjoys a quite extensive market. As the second-to-none fuel, BBQ briquette charcoal possesses the density 3 times higher than wood fuel and the former features smokeless trait and high thermal value. For the industrial part, it can be used to process carbon disulfide and to smelt steel. The sawdust briquette charcoal can also be applied as supplementary fuel for boilers. Because the density of briquette charcoal goes as close as that of coal but its the thermal value stands at 5500-7000Kcal/kg yet with lower ash content.

The working principle of sawdust briquette machine is like this. Briquetting is a process that biomass is compressed under high pressure and high temperature. The lignin content that occurs naturally in biomass is liberated under high pressure and temperature. Lignin serves as the glue in the briquetting process, thus binding, compressing the biomass to form into high density briquettes. During this process, no binder needs to be used. So the output briquette is a type of clean and green fuel that is ideal for use in furnaces, boilers and open fires.

The characters of sawdust briquette press include stable performance, low costs and quick-earn profits to produce briquettes and charcoal with high density and thermal value. And the briquettes and charcoal from sawdust briquette press and charcoal machine are smokeless, free from odor, inflammable and explosion-free. Therefore, the renewable product has been accepted by worldwide clients. Sawdust briquette press can produce briquette charcoal with carbon content reaching more than 85%, thermal value higher than 6000Kcal yet ash content lower than 5% and volatile content less than 15%. The briquette charcoal also possesses water content lower than 4%m combusted smokeless for more than 3 hours.
