How Charcoal Briquette Machine Works:
Briquetting is the transformation of a powdery or granular product into a larger more convenient size. This is accomplished by compacting the product with a roller press sometimes in the presence of a binder material. The briquettes can be produced with high or low pressure and can undergo mechanical or thermal treatment according to the characteristics of the processed material, the binder used and the desired end product.

The charcoal briquette machine shapes fine materials into larger forms of varied shapes, sizes and volumes (from a few CC up to 600 CC and more), these characteristics are defined according to the product end use.

If the cohesive forces (particulate cohesion, valence forces, recrystallization) between particles are low, a binder has to be used before agglomeration. The physical properties of the feed material, the end use of the briquettes and the cost of binder addition have to be taken into account before a selection is made. A large variety of (liquid or solid) binders is offered: Starch, bentonite, bitumen, lime, cement, water, flour, lignosulphonates, molasses, polymer, resin, sodium silicate, etc...
