According to different molds, straw briquetting machine can produce briquettes with different shapes, but the most common briquettes in the market is cuboid briquettes. Some customers who want to buy briquetting machines have asked us how to control the briquettes length produced by straw briquetting machines. Let’s find out today.

Traditional straw briquetting machine mainly depends on the moisture of processed raw materials to control the length of the whole finished product.

The higher the moisture content in the raw material, the shorter the length of the finished product, because the higher the moisture content, the smaller the hardness of the produced briquette, so that the produced briquettes will automatically break after reaching a certain length. The smaller the moisture content, the greater the hardness and the longer the length of the finished product. This kind of machine is not equipped with a cutter at the discharge port, so the briquettes are automatically broken after reaching a certain length. However, the briquette products produced in this way are not very beautiful and regular, so they are not very popular in the market.

The new straw briquetting machine is different.

The design of the cutter is added at the discharge port, and the length of the briquetting product is completely controlled by the cutter. When the finished product is extruded to the cutter position, the press block is cut off by the interaction between the press wheel and the cutter. The length of the block can be adjusted according to one’s own wishes. Setting the cutter not only improves the production efficiency, but also makes the finished product look consistent in specifications and better in appearance. Pay attention to the fact that when producing briquettes, the moisture content of raw materials must be controlled within a certain range (about 30%), so that the processed finished products have enough hardness and are not easy to break. 　

There are different ways to control the length of briquettes according to different briquetting equipment.  If you choose to buy briquetting equipment, you should also choose it according to your own needs.
