An Overview & Manufacturing Process of Briquetting Plant

1. THE BIOMASS BRIQUETTES
A briquette is a processed biomass fuel that can be
burned as an alternative to wood or charcoal for heat
energy. The briquette is manufactured through a
process called “densification” which compresses the
biomass residual into a much higher dense product.

2. NEED FOR THE BRIQUETTING PLANT
 Today environment pollution is increasing at exponencial
rate and we don’t have any meaningful options to prevent
it. This is the reason why manufacturers have designed
biomass briquette plant to save the Global environment.
The Biomass Briquette Plant helps in protecting
environment and also prevents unwanted pollution
around you.
 Inside industries, everyday new manufacturing process
is carried out so it is sure that industrial waste is going to
release outside. But industrialist are not sure how to use
this waste material in their favour. This is why Biomass
Briquette Plant concept came into existence that helps in
utilising waste material properly.

3. MACHINERY
 Through machinery the resultant form change increases
the calorific value (combustion efficiency) of the product
as compared to loose material. This analysis issues
connected with the production and use of briquettes
attends the huge potential of its possible wide spread use.
It offers immense help to Corporates and NGOs to
undertake these projects as an arm of their Corporate
Social Responsibility efforts.

4. MARKET COMPETITION
Bitmap Briquettes are mostly supposed to target two
main market segments:
-The mass domestic market, consisting of normal
households that use wood or charcoal as daily
cooking.
-Business and institutional consumers. This segment
includes large consumers such as restaurants, hotels,
institutes etc.;
Briquettes are a competitive good to traditional solid
fuels. The price per unit of energy competes with the
range of other traditional fuels.

5. THE BRIQUETTE MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Almost any biomass can be briquetted. Briquetting plants set
so far in India are using Saw Dust, Bamboo dust, Bagasse,
Cotton Stalk, Coffee husk, Groundnut Shell, Mustard
Husk/Stalk, Pine Needles, Rice Husk, Sugar Mill Waste, Jute
waste, Coir pith and other wastes & residues like Castor Shell,
Red Gram Stalk, Tobacco stem, Tea Waste, Sander Dust, Tree
Bark, Wild Grasses & Shrubs and Sander dust etc. can be also
be briquetted individually or in combination without using any
binder.
RAW MATERIAL

6. STEP 1 : DRYING SECTION
If raw material has more than 10% of moisture contains,
it is required drying process, otherwise not.
STEP2 : CUTTING SECTION
If raw material is longer than 20mm, it is required to
cutted process, otherwise not.
STEP 3 : CONVERSION OF RAW MATERIAL
The various raw material available from regions converted
into powder form and homogeneous mixing of different
raw materials are made. Said powder form become input
for briquetting press.

7. STEP 4 : FEDDING SECTION
The material is fed into the machine with some moisture
to ease the wear and tear in the machine and also to
provide some kind of liquidity to the substance.
The machine then presses and compresses the material,
thereby increasing the temperature of the raw material
making it less resistance to changing it shape.
The increase in temperature makes the raw material
starts to loose its physical properties hence making it easy
to mould it in any form as required.
After molding the raw material in the required form, a
briquette is formed which is then cooled down and then
cut into pieces as required by the producer.
The briquette may be stored in a cool- controlled
temperature environment for using it in the future and
meeting the demand for the fuel without any interruptions.Shweta Malpani

8. STEP 5: CUTTING & PACKING SECTION
Prepared briquettes under aforesaid process firstly cutted
in desired size and packed accordingly.
STEP 6 : FORWARDING & MARKETING
Packed briquette is now ready for forwarding to desired
destination and ready for sale.
