Mechanical Briquette Press

Posted in: , on 17. Apr. 2009 - 19:31

Dear Sirs,

we have bought a mechanical piston operated briquett press and we have a question regarding mechanical briquette presses, if anyone has any knowledge about them. We produce briquettes mainly from dryed oak wood, 8-10% kiln dryed.

The problem: we have a mechanical briquette press from a company Spaenex (Germany)... the output is 300-400kg/h and the power is 15kw. The problem is that the briquets are pressed but they get soft and break very easy.

Our theory is that the problem is something with the conic (tapared) die? The conic (tapered) die is maybe not the right shape, how should the die be like? The die must be bigger at the start and then smaller till the end, but how far tapered, in what angle... that are the questions. We habe so far made 2 dies but we didnt get the best results yet...

With best regards,

Nejc

I feel you may require some bonding chemical, to be added with your dried oak wood before briquetting.
