Installation guide of briquette machine

Briquette machine is the most important molding equipment in the process of making charcoal. The principle briquette machine adopts is physical extrusion. Biomass pellet contains the component called “lignin”, which would become liquid at high temperatures and separated out from the particles. It plays the bonding role in the forming of pellets. Then, the screw propeller of briquette machine would press the particles together with the surrounding particles layer by layer forcibly and extrude them by the forming sleeve. After cooling, the lignin becomes solid again and briquettes produced get hardened with large density. Meanwhile, the moisture content of briquette also plays an important role in the process. If the moisture content is higher, then the lignin would have no stickiness; while if the moisture is too low, the lignin is not diluted and without liquidity to bond the surrounding material. Experiment shows that, when the moisture content is in 6 to 14%, the bonding effect and the quality of briquettes are best. What matters should we pay attention when installing the briquette machine?

1. Fastening all the connection screw, especially the three top wires in the heating sleeve. Connect the cooling pipe, circuit and power lines.

2. Check all the lubricating parts.

3. Check the power supply and voltage.

4. Idling the briquette machine for 3 minutes. If there is no stuck, collision or other abnormal phenomenon, then it can be put into normal production. When the abnormal is found in the test of briquette machine, the operator must stop the machine immediately and find out the reasons, and then make the no-load running again after troubleshooting.

5. Adjust the temperature regulator to the required temperature, when the temperature reaches the preset temperature, start the briquette machine and feed in appropriate amount.

6. Increase the amount of feeding gradually until qualified products can be produced with the briquette machine. After 30 minutes of normal production, it shows that the test is successful and the briquette machine can be used for normal operation.

7. Before stopping the briquette machine, there should be no material in the hopper and reversed the direction of movement of the machine immediately for 1 minute after stopping to discharge the raw materials inside the propeller.

8. The machine body must be well grounded.

The briquette machine can turn the waste into treasure and fully plays the value of all kinds of waste materials, that makes a contribution to the environment. Briquette machine produced by our company is suitable for processing various kinds of biomass raw materials with low energy consumption and high production efficiency.
