Briquetting plant flowsheet as a guide

A complete flow chart of briquetting plant shows how the plant works and which machines are included. The briquetting process mainly includes crushing, drying, briquetting, packing. With different purpose like charcoal briquettes making, you may need to add a furnace in the plant.

Know more about the function of each equipment

• Crusher machine: No matter various or hammer mills are all used to crush raw materials such as lump charcoal, large-sized ores, or rocks into smaller size less than 3mm.
• Dryer machine: Materials with too much moisture are not proper to be fed into the briquetting machine. So, the dryer can reduce the moisture down to 15%.
• Briquette machine: Press or briquette your material to different shapes for different uses. Pillow-shaped charcoal briquettes are used in cooking or barbeque.
• Carbonizing machine: Carbonization furnace is used to carbonize the biomass or agricultural materials.
• Bagging machine: Package the final product for selling at the market.
