Choosing the Right Briquette Making Machine for Sale

Many small business owners who receive an or message from sellers saying that they are offering a briquette making machine for sale at a reasonable price, would like to know the advantages and disadvantages of purchasing the machine, how it can help increase their profit and the feasibility of purchasing the machine. A briquetting machine is an ideal investment for an agro or wood based business which generates saw dust and other agro waste and also uses fuel for heating, drying or other similar process during manufacturing. The business may be spending money on disposal of the agro waste generated and the equipment can be used to make briquettes from the waste quickly.

One of the main considerations while finding a machine for making briquettes for sale is the capacity of the plant required. This will depend to a large extent on the amount and type of agro waste that is generated daily as part of the manufacturing process. The amount of agro waste which is generated should be calculated accurately, so that the machine of the right size is procured. Usually the price of a machine will increase depending on the production capacity of the machine, so it is not advisable to purchase a larger machine, if only a limited amount of raw material is available, and it is unlikely that the raw material availability will increase in future. 


Another consideration while selecting a machine for making biomass briquettes is the budget of the machine buyer.The cost of a new machine will usually be higher than a second hand machine which has been used for some time. However the manufacturer of the new machine is likely to offer better customer support on the machine for a period of one year at least, and the new machine will require less repairs and maintenance initially, as new components have been used. On the other hand, the suppliers of the second hand or refurbished briquetting equipment will usually not offer any kind of after sales support, or may offer to help for only a month after purchase of the machine.

A third important factor determining the selection of the machine to make briquettes is the type of raw material which is available. For most machines is easier and quicker to make briquettes from agro waste which is small in size like saw dust and does not contain much moisture. If the agro waste generated during the manufacturing process is larger in size, the equipment used for making briquettes should be modified to include a crusher which will reduce the size of the particles in the raw material so that they can be processed in the machine and converted into briquettes after applying pressure

Most manufacturers of the briquette machine will also specify that the agro waste being used as raw material should have moisture levels below the specified levels for optimal performance of the machine and quality of the briquettes produced. Often the briquettes will be stored for some time before being used, and if the moisture levels are high, it may be very effective as a fuel. It is also vital that the business owner does a detailed analysis of the expenses and savings before purchasing a machine for producing biomass briquettes to select the right model of the equipment.

Biomass briquettes fuel seems to come into focus these days as the environmental issues and energy crisis becomes urgent for sustainably development. The briquettes seems to be one of the new energy sources however the biomass briquettes fuel also can be called as “tradition fuel” for since before recorded history, the Nepal people have been using biomass briquettes made of self-made briquetters for cooking and heating purpose. While at the same time the “biomass briquettes” processed by the advanded briquettes making plants also can be called as one of the new fuel sources because new briquetting technology has been adopted to make the briquettes.

Compare with the loose briquettes used in the past, the solid briquettes made by new briquetting technology enjoy higher density of 1.2 g/cm3 than that of loose biomass of 0.1 to 0.2 g/cm3 for general. However heat values of biomass briquettes vary with the raw materials composition, which ranges from 4.48 to 5.95 kJ/g, whereas the heat value of sawdust, charcoal and wood pellets ranges from 7.24 to 8.25 kJ/g, according to a study conducted by Boise State University, which also show that the low heat value feedstocks can be composted and pressed by the briquetting makers or the briquetting plans into processed highly density briquettes as biomass fuel to meet energy needs and ease energy pressure.

The increasing growth of energy needs and price drives the expansion of biomass briquettes production scale with large industrial briquette making plants and the briquettes application which means the biomass briquettes is now having a promising market. It can be used by the industrial boilers for steam and heat generation, food processing industries for drying, etc, textile process houses for dyeing, bleaching, etc, clay products industries, such as tile making, pot firing, etc, and domestic using for cooking and water heating.


Green Profits
 

As the briquettes market gets more and more prosperous, it’s the right time to invest in the briquetting business. And one of the important factor is the chocies of  a birquette making machine also called briquttes maker or a briquetter.  At present, there are three types of briquette press in the market for general; namely, there are the piston briquettes press, the screw press briquetting machines and the hydraulic briquetting press plants. The piston briquettes press punches the biomass materials into a die by a reciprocating ram with high pressure and eventually to compress the biomass into briquettes. As for a screw briquettes extruder press, the biomass is extruded continuously by a screw through a heated taper die. In a piston press briquetting plant the wear of the contact parts e.g., the ram and die is less compared to the wear of the screw and die in a screw briquettes extruder press. Another type of briquetting machine is the hydraulic piston briquettes press. This is different from the mechanical piston briquettes press in that the power driven the piston is transmitted from an electric motor via a high pressure hydraulic oil system. And compare with the other kinds of briquette pressing machines, the hydraulic briquette presses can process materials with moisture content of 15 % which is much higher than the others.


Hydraulic Biomass Briquetter
 

In order to produce good quality briquettes, you need to choose the right briquette press according to the conditions of your feedstocks, such as particle size, moisture content; temperature of biomass and die, and sometime, the external additives is needed, depending on the composition of your raw materials. So if you want to open the door of biomass briquettes, you need to choose the right briquette press to profit your business.
