Message Thread: briquette machine -- 1 -- 5/9        Blakeman Hardwood Mouldings, Inc. Member What is the best briquetting machine on the market for producing rectangular briquettes out of sawdust? Like the one's in this picture. 5/10       #2: briquette machine ... Gary Are they hollow in the center as they appear to be? If so you may only have one choice. I have looked at a lot of machines but have not seen that briquette design. 5/10       #3: briquette machine ... Blakeman Hardwood Mouldings, Inc. Member Yes I do believe they are hollow in the center. I like this design because they seem to be easily palletized. 5/11       #4: briquette machine ... Gerald T Ortman Cannot help with a machine model, but while I understand the palletizing issue, the end user may have issues with that hollow form. The hollow log will burn much faster than a solid round one if that is important. For people looking to fuel furnaces the shape is not optimal for packing the combustion chamber for a long slow burn. If you want to produce solid brick like units may I offer the possibility that you may be able to expand your machine search to include cement/masonary brick and block making machines. They extrude cement mixtures under presure and then wire or knife cut them to units. 5/11       #5: briquette machine ... Blakeman Hardwood Mouldings, Inc. Member Would concrete block forming equipment produce enough pressure to bind the sawdust without using some time of adhesive in the mixture? From my understand, the lignin will bond sawdust together when exposed to high pressure. The hollow form isn't really important. I just like the rectangular shape since it's easy to stack on a pallet. 5/11       #6: briquette machine ... Gary I doubt very much that an extruder for cement or any other type of product will work for briquettes. It takes much more pressure than an open ended extruder can produce. Every briqutte machine I looked at needed a "head" to push against to produce the required pressure. In modern wood burners or boilers with controled dampers I don't think the design of the briquette makes any difference, hollow or solid. You are correct about lignin bonding under pressure. No additives needed. Moisture content is also an issue. From my research 12-13% mc is the best. I make briquettes in my Wiema with 8% mc dust and it works fine for my use. Do a google search and see what you can find. Weima, Ruf, Stiles and North Tech are a few for starters. 5/11       #7: briquette machine ... Gary I just remembered that the machine Stiles sells is an open ended machine. It compresses against a cone shaped die thus producing an extruded briquette. I looked at it at the AWFS or IWF 2-3 years ago. Very nice machine but way too high production and priced for me. It made a round briquette. 5/12       #8: briquette machine ... Madison What are you planning to do with the briquettes you produce? 5/12       #9: briquette machine ... steve i wouldn't burn hollow anything, needs to be solid center. 5/12       #10: briquette machine ... Gary Steve, Have you tried and if so, in what type of burner? 5/12       #11: briquette machine ... Blakeman Hardwood Mouldings, Inc. Member I have a couple of different purposes for briquettes. We're in the process of developing a waste fired boiler that will provide steam for our vacuum kiln and produce our own current. There is also a very good market for fire starter logs. We produce a tractor trailer load about every 3 days. 5/13       #12: briquette machine ... steve i haven't tried hollow brickets, burned hollow logs or logs that are punky in the center, just dosen't seem to have the same burn time as solid. i burn with a force induction outside wood burner. 5/18       #13: briquette machine ... millmgr Member Check out website for Biobricks. They are rectangular solid blocks made in a Swedish briquetting machine. www.biobrick.com 5/18       #14: briquette machine ... Madison Website: http://weimaamerica.com You can also look into www.weimaamerica.com Another Briquette Mfg Option 5/18       #15: briquette machine ... Blakeman Hardwood Mouldings, Inc. Thanks for the info! I also have several truckloads of edging strips to do something with. I would really like to have a tub grinder but they're kind of pricey. Any other ideas would be appreciated. 5/19       #16: briquette machine ... millmgr Member If you use a tub grinder, you have to cut the rippings. A horizontal grinder with a vibrating conveyor can be placed next to the rip saws and no further handling/storage is required. Many good grinders available. Had good luck with Cresswood. 5/30       #17: briquette machine ... Joe Calhoon We have used a briquette machine for a few years. Our machine is a Comafer made in Italy. I would recommend going with a machine that has support and service in the US. The square bricks are better and easier to store. The machines that make square usually cost more. The hollow center should cause no problem and will probably burn better. You cannot compare briquettes to logs. If you have a moulder the briquetter would need 200 to 250kg per hour capacity minimum to keep up. At your volume probably a lot more. At a trailer load every 3 days it might be more cost effective to go with a silo that feeds a sawdust burning boiler. The European companies bringing in briquette machines usually offer these systems also. Hope this helps, Joe Briquetts 3/22       #18: briquette machine ... Amy Chen Member Website: http://biofuelpelletmill.com Hollow briquettes are produced by screw briquette extruder. Here we have four models, with capacity from 80kgs to more than 300kgs per hour. http://www.biofuelpelletmill.com/Screw-Briquette-presses.html 5/28       #19: briquette machine ...

Messages and responses that are crafted in a professional and civil manner strengthen this resource. Messages that do not reflect a professional tone reduce the value of our forums. Messages are inappropriate when their content: is deemed libelous in nature or is based on rumor, fails to meet basic standards of decorum, contains blatant advertising or inappropriate emphasis on self promotion (return to top). Libel:   Posts which defame an individual or organization, or employ a tone which can be viewed as malicious in nature. Words, pictures, or cartoons which expose a person or organization to public hatred, shame, disgrace, or ridicule, or induce an ill opinion of a person or organization, are libelous. Improper Decorum:   Posts which are profane, inciting, disrespectful or uncivil in tone, or maliciously worded. This also includes the venting of unsubstantiated opinions. Such messages do little to illuminate a given topic, and often have the opposite effect. Constructive criticism is acceptable (return to top). Advertising:   The purpose of WOODWEB Forums is to provide answers, not an advertising venue. Companies participating in a Forum discussion should provide specific answers to posted questions. WOODWEB suggests that businesses include an appropriately crafted signature in order to identify their company. A well meaning post that seems to be on-topic but contains a product reference may do your business more harm than good in the Forum environment. Forum users may perceive your references to specific products as unsolicited advertising (spam) and consciously avoid your web site or services. A well-crafted signature is an appropriate way to advertise your services that will not offend potential customers. Signatures should be limited to 4-6 lines, and may contain information that identifies the type of business you're in, your URL and email address (return to top). Repeated Forum Abuse: Forum participants who repeatedly fail to follow WOODWEB's Forum Guidelines may encounter difficulty when attempting to post messages. There are often situations when the original message asks for opinions: "What is the best widget for my type of shop?". To a certain extent, the person posting the message is responsible for including specific questions within the message. An open ended question (like the one above) invites responses that may read as sales pitches. WOODWEB suggests that companies responding to such a question provide detailed and substantive replies rather than responses that read as a one-sided product promotion. It has been WOODWEB's experience that substantive responses are held in higher regard by our readers (return to top).
