Sizing Up Unit Briquetting Press Process Technology
The various Raw materials available from regions converted into powder form & Homogeneous mixing of different available raw materials are made & then the said powder form becomes input for briquetting press (unit). This sizing up unit requires only in SUPER-60 (60. mm die briquettes and have required by the material handling equipment like Conveyor, Blower, Cyclone etc.)
Prepared homogeneous raw material feed to briquetting press by screw conveyor for regular feeding. In briquetting press it passes through taper die and punch & due to high pressure & heat powder form converts into solid cylindrical briquettes due to pressure & heat, lignite content of all raw material it convert in liquid form & act as a binder so in this technology there is no need to add any binder to form briquettes.
This technology of Briquetting is cheap and waste raw material has been adopted for a number of years by using binders. But this machine does not need any binder, this binder less technology is found to be very economical in the case of biomass Briquetting.
There are two different types of Briquetting machines available with us for biomass. One is screw type and another Ram type.
There are two main Models of Briquetting Press
:: Super 60
Briquettes produces from this press is 60mm die. And on production basis it is two types, one gives 550 Kg. /Hrs and second gives 750Kg. /Hrs. Production.
Production Capacity : 750Kg. /Hrs Cam Shaft Type
Size : 70mm Diameter
Shape : Cylindrical
Raw Material Form : Powdery
Production Cost : IRs. 400/-
Throw 90mm Total Stroke length 180mm
:: Jumbo 90
Briquettes produces from this press is 90mm die. This press does not Require powder Making Unit and it gives 1500Kg. /Hrs production.
Production Capacity : 1500 Kg. /Hrs. Cam Shaft Type

Production Cost : IRs. 350/-
Throw 100mm Total Stroke length 200mm.
Screw Type Machine Charcoal Briquettes

The sun died raw material(individual or mixed) free from foreign matter is fed into the hopper of the machine. From the hopper the raw material falls into the crushing area from where it enters into the heating chamber. The heating chamber is controlled thermostatically at a pre set temperature. From the heating chamber the briquette is formed and extruded out.

The briquette is cut into required length and stored, stacked for dispatch or packed in bags for shipment. There is no binder required in the process of this biomass Briquetting.

First the powder charcoal must be screened to reduce it to a uniform size and remove gross impurities. In case of lump, solid piece are left out in screening, hammer mills are used to again powder them. The screen analysis of the ground charcoal is the coarsest which will give a satisfactory briquette with minimum binder usage.

The ground & screened charcoal powder is next mixed with binder and filler, (if used). If starch is the binder it must first be cooked (gelatinized) with hot water before adding to the mixer. Ribbon type mixer is normal and proper mixing is essential to reduce binder consumption to the minimum.

The mixture then passes to the Briquetting machine screw, ram, or roller type.

Pellet Type
Pelletising is low cost densification technology and very well suited for fibrous biomass. Advantages with pelletising are:
1. Consumes about 40 KWH of power as compared to 60 KWH of power (in Briquetting) for one ton of production.
2. Pellets press is not size specific and any pellet press can make pellets of 8 mm - 25 mm diameter suited to the requirement of end     use.
3. Large capacity press up to 10 MT/Hr. can be made.
4. Pellet press being rotary machine can operate continuously for weeks.
5. Pelletising being slow extrusion press, most of the difficult fibrous biomass can be processed. Fibre can be conditioned by steam before     extrusion which is not possible in briquetting.
6. Handling of pellet is much easier including pneumatic conveyor and storage in large bunkers.

To handle large quantity of biomass distributed in remote location, biomass depot with capacities of 50,000 MT per annum will need to be planned. In India, govt. is considering establishing few large depots to support chain of biomass fired power plants.

In USA, where DOA is planning to use about 200 MT/Annum of biomass in large thermal and power plant installations, pelletising appears to be only solution.Europe has very good demand for biomass pellets to fire its central heating installation. African countries are getting geared to supply for this massive demand from Europe.

In India, to support the proposed 25 million efficient Biomass domestic stoves, palletized biomass fuel appears to be a better option. In USA/Canada/Europe, there is a high possibility of using pellet fired stoves for residential heating.

By 2020 and beyond, densified biomass fuel is going to be key fuel with pellet being the only technology suitable for large scale fuel production.
