Mechanical Briquette Presses for Various Material
Wood residues can be Turned into Wood Briquettes
Wood briquetting is a process of compacting wood residue into dense and uniform-shaped blocks called wood briquettes. This technique involves applying pressure to the material, with the use of a wood briquetting machine, to form the solid fuel products. Wood briquettes find applications in various sectors, ranging from industrial boilers to consumers as an alternative to firewood.
Agricultural biomass residues being value-added into briquettes
Agri and biomass waste briquetting is the process of compacting agricultural residues and biomass materials—such as sugarcane bagasse, olive stones, rice husks, straw, and other crop waste—into dense, uniform briquettes. This process utilizes mechanical briquette presses, which are highly efficient due to their ability to produce consistent, high-density briquettes with minimal energy consumption. Mechanical presses generate clean-burning briquettes with low ash content, making them an excellent alternative to traditional fuels. These briquettes provide a sustainable and cost-effective solution for energy generation, dryer fuel, and industrial heating, delivering high combustion efficiency, reduced emissions, and reliable performance across various applications.

Post Briquetting Carbonisation
CF Nielsen briquettes can undergo post-briquetting carbonization, a process that transforms them into a high-carbon product similar to charcoal. This involves heating the briquettes in a controlled, low-oxygen environment to remove volatile compounds, leaving behind a dense, energy-rich carbon structure. Carbonized briquettes offer higher calorific value, lower smoke emissions, and improved combustion efficiency, making them ideal for industrial heating, metallurgical processes, and clean cooking fuel. This added versatility enhances the value of briquetting, providing a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional charcoal and fossil fuels.
