There are different types of process for densifing / Briquetting technologies for Biomass. With Binder Technology It is required to add any additionally binder with Biomass / coal dust.

Screw type Briquetting Technology

•     Production capacity is very low.
•     Strength of finished product is not perfect.
•     Maintenance of screw is very high.
•     Production cost / MT is very high.
•     Electric consumption / MT is very high.

Ram and Die Briquetting Technology

•     Hydraulic Plant

  • Capital cost is very high and ideal for small production only.

    Mechanical Type Plant

•         Lower capital cost due to indigenous parts.
•         Commercially viable due to higher production & lower converting cost.
•         World wide accepted technology.
•         It is easy to operate & maintain.

Briquetting Unit

The Briquetting press is a ram type press designed for continuous heavy-duty operation with two load wheels. One of the load wheels acts as a pulley, and driven by the main motor through a flat belt forced lubrication is provided by oil lubrication system which gives a longer life to the press.

Dry and homogenous prepared powder in form of craw material is fed through the screw conveyor to Kupy by means of vertical screw, with its own-geared motor. It pre-compress and forces the material downward into the feeder box. From the feeder box the material is forced by the ram through taper die and due to high pressure & heat, powder form is converted into solid cylindrical briquettes. Lignin content in the raw material is transformed into liquid form & acts as a natural binder. Therefore it is called the Binder less Technology.
