Como funciona uma máquina de briquetes de carvão desde a alimentação até à formação do briquete final?
A coal briquette machine is essential equipment in coal processing, biomass fuel plants, and charcoal production factories. Its job is simple but critical—compress loose pulverized coal or charcoal powder into solid, high-density briquettes. But how does the machine actually turn fine powder into strong, uniform briquettes?
Feeding System: Preparing Material for the Briquetting Process
The working cycle begins with the feeding device. The pulverized coal, charcoal powder, or biomass carbon powder must meet specific conditions:
- Proper moisture content (usually 10–15%)
- Fine particle size
- Even mixing with binders (if required)
The feeding hopper of the coal briquette machine ensures continuous and uniform material supply to avoid clogging and ensure stable forming pressure.
Screw or Piston Compression: Building High Density
Inside the coal briquette press machine, a high-pressure mechanism compresses the material.
Depending on machine type, this may involve:
- Screw extrusion (charcoal briquette extruder type)
- Double roller pressing
- Hydraulic piston compression
During this stage:
- Air gaps between particles are removed
- Powder is compacted into a semi-solid mass
- Pressure and friction generate slight heat, improving binding strength
This compression stage is the core of the coal briquetting process.
Extrusion and Mold Forming: Shaping the Briquette
After the material is compressed, it is pushed into the forming die or mold.
Different molds allow different briquette shapes:
- Hollow briquettes
- Square briquettes
- Round briquettes
- Hexagonal briquettes
- Honeycomb briquettes
The briquette forming machine ensures that every briquette has:
- Uniform density
- Consistent size
- Smooth surface
- Structural strength for transportation and burning
Mold quality directly affects briquette appearance and durability.
Cutting System: Controlling Briquette Length
At the extrusion outlet, a cutter trims briquettes into the desired length.
The cutting can be:
- Manual
- Automatic
- Adjustable according to production needs
This allows the charcoal briquette extruder to maintain a consistent product size for packaging and industrial use.
Why the Coal Briquette Machine Is Essential for Fuel Processing?
A coal briquette machine is widely used because it solves common issues with loose coal powder:
- Prevents dust pollution
- Improves transport efficiency
- Enhances combustion performance
- Increases heating value
- Provides uniform fuel for industrial boilers, BBQ charcoal, and household heating
Its high efficiency and low operating cost make it ideal for small-scale plants and large industrial coal briquette factories.
