Briquette press

ЕLICA Briquette Presses are providing a highly effective solution for producing solid biomass briquettes. It can convert green waste and other organic materials, such as sunflower hulls, rice husks, wheat stalks, wood chips, etc. into briquettes intended for biomass furnaces. This process of compressing biomass into cylindrical briquettes increases the burning time of the material and makes its transportation easier and cheaper.

The massive robust steel construction of the Briquette Press is equipped with a hydraulic system for forced lubrication of the moving parts to ensure the safe and smooth operation. The work of the Press is supported by precise feeding coming from the smoothly varying screw feeder revolutions. The equipment has integrated monitoring, controlling and preventive systems to allow the operator to handle the machine properly.

These systems include:

• Hydraulic system for forced lubrication of moving parts
• System for controlling the hydraulic cylinder of the nozzle
• Nozzle Temperature Control System
• Pressure control system of the hydraulic system
• System for monitoring the position of the impact piston during initial start
• Automatic stop system in case of briquette blockage in the cooling path
• System for preventing breakage of the drive belt

INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS:

• A specially designed hammer
• A conical die with a specific angle for excellent shaping of the briquette
• The steel die-casting and hammer has a specific heat treatment to increase wear resistance
• Creation of high working pressure and temperature, where no additional binders are needed in the molding process
• Electrical switchboard with PLC control
