A briquetting machine, also called a briquette press machine or briquette-making machine, is a device that converts powdered or granular materials into larger, more convenient shapes called briquettes.

According to materials, there are 5 most popular briquette machines at present: charcoal briquette machine, coal briquette machine, metal powder briquette machine, lime briquette machine, and gypsum briquette machine. They are popular for their unique properties, applications, and reasonable price.
Charcoal powder is one of the products of wood that is incompletely burned or pyrolyzed under air-insulated conditions.
It is produced by carbonized biomass materials, such as carbonized coconut shells, rice husks, sawdust, wood chips, tree chips, branches, shavings, bamboo chips, corn stalks, bagasse, and other agricultural wastes.

When coal is mined and transported, large amounts of coal dust are produced. About 20 percent of the coal that coal plants get is small particles. Coal briquette is a good way to deal with this dust.
A coal briquette machine is a briquetting equipment used to press coal powder. It uses coal powder (coking coal, lignite, coal gangue), coal slime, carbon powder, activated carbon, coke powder, etc. as raw materials.
It can also press coal ash or fly ash material. Coal ash refers to the dust and tailings collected from the coal-fired smoke generated in the production process of the thermal power plant.
Metal powder refers to the powder produced during the crushing and beneficiation of metal ore. The sources of mineral powder mainly include blast furnace iron slag, by-products of high-temperature smelting ore, and tailings after ore mining.
The main processing materials of the metal powder briquetting machine are metallurgical powder or tailings, such as iron powder, iron chips, aluminum powder, aluminum chips, scale, chromium powder, manganese powder, lithium powder, magnesite powder, steel slag, slag, refractory materials, etc.
The rate of raw material consumption is staggering in the metallurgical process. As the plant operates, lime powder is continuously produced and piled up.
Because lime has the characteristics of not mixing with water, being ultra-fine, fluffy, etc., it is difficult for general briquette making machines to press it into balls. Now, FTM Machinery lime briquetting machines can solve this problem.
A lime briquette machine is specially developed for lime, quicklime, limestone, and kaolin powder. The main component of quicklime is calcium oxide (CaO), and the main component of limestone is calcium carbonate (CaCO3). They mainly come from metallurgical industry waste.
Gypsum briquetting machine mainly presses gypsum powder and desulfurized gypsum materials. Desulfurization gypsum, also known as flue gas desulfurization gypsum, sulfur gypsum, or FGD gypsum, is an industrial by-product obtained by desulfurization of flue gas generated after the combustion of sulfur-containing fuel (coal, oil, etc.).
They mainly come from the flue gas desulfurization process of thermal power plants. Most power plants use the limestone-gypsum desulfurization process.
Since most people are looking for a briquetting machine to produce charcoal briquettes, next we will learn about the burning effect and market prospect of charcoal briquettes.
The burning effects of charcoal briquettes
A lot of people think this is an artificial product. But it's really just sawdust with a little cornstarch and a couple of other things added to it that hold it together. And the neat thing about them is they' re all the same size.

They have grooves to allow airflow through them. So, you get good airflow because remember there are two fuels when you're cooking: one is charcoal and the other is oxygen. The uniform-sized briquettes can work better today as they did yesterday, which the main reason that most people choose them.
Cooking is all about control:And you really get it from briquettes. Generally, 40-80 briquettes with length 4mm and diameter 2mm are capable of fully burning within 10-15 minutes, and then they will be all white and ready to go.
Due to its high calorific value, environmental protection, uniform shape, and low water content, charcoal briquettes have become the best alternative fuel to alleviate global warming to meet the growing demand for alternative energy.
According to EMR Research Analysis, the global charcoal briquette market is valued at USD 1,947.1 million in and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.4% during -, reaching USD 3,298.4 million by .
The charcoal briquettes business has a positive market prospect. But if you want to make a profit, you need to do the following things.
Nigeria charcoal briquette market analysis
The Nigerian market prefers pillow and oval charcoal briquettes.
As for size, the Nigerian market typically prefers charcoal briquettes that are compact and uniform. The size can range from small briquettes (around 2-3 cm in diameter) to larger ones (5-6 cm in diameter). The length can vary, but generally, briquettes in the range of 4-7 cm are commonly used.
In Nigeria, the price of ordinary charcoal powder is about $280 a ton, and the price of charcoal briquette is $420 a ton. This shows that the profit from powder to briquette is 420-280 = $140.
Assuming a large briquette machine with a production of 35 t/h and a 10-hour work a day, and the daily output is 350 t. Then the user's daily profit can be 35×10×140 = $49,000.
Profit(per ton) Capacity Work hour(per day) Total profit(per day) $140 35 t/h 10 h $49,000Generally, briquette machines can range in price from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars.
Small-scale machines (1-5 t/h): Prices typically start around $1,000. These machines are suitable for individuals, small businesses, or communities with lower production needs.
Mid-range machines (5-15 t/h): Prices range from $2,000 to $5,000. These machines offer higher production capacities and may have additional features such as automatic feeding or adjustable pressure settings. They are commonly used by medium-sized enterprises or organizations engaged in commercial briquette production.
Large-scale machines (15-35 t/h): Prices can range from $5,000 to $20,000 or more. These machines are designed for high-output production and are suitable for large factories or companies involved in the mass production of charcoal briquettes.
As a professional briquette machine manufacturer, FTM Machinery is committed to providing users with sturdy roller briquetting machines. In addition, we can also provide a complete briquetting production line according to the user's raw materials.
Here's what we can do for our clients.

We have three main types of briquetting presses available at C.F. Nielsen:
Mechanical presses are used for larger-scale installations, ranging from 250 kg/h up to kg/h for single line installations, depending on the raw material. Our mechanical briquetting presses are very versatile and can produce briquettes in various forms and shapes. The mechanical briquette press is built like an eccenter press, meaning, a constantly rotating eccentric connected to a piston, is pressing the raw material through a conical die. The versatile nature of the mechanical press makes it suitable for both consumer briquettes and industrial briquettes.
The extruder briquetting press is specialized in producing very dense biomass briquettes. Extrusion presses are a bit more delicate in terms of the raw material, as they require a moisture content between 6-8% and particles between 2-6mm. With the right raw material, the extruder press produces very dense and strong consumer briquettes suitable for fireplaces and wood burning stoves. The high density also enables the briquettes to be carbonized. Our extruder presses operate with a capacity of approximately 500 kg/h.
The hydraulic press is suitable for making briquettes from both biomass, metal, and numerous other residues. Our parent company, RUF Maschinenbau in Germany, manufacturers the hydraulic presses with a machine capacity ranging from 30 kg/h up to kg/h. RUF offers two different compression techniques: the form press and the shutter press. The rectangular RUF briquette are popular all over the world as a sustainable, high-quality fuel.
Using a briquetting press from C.F. Nielsen offers several benefits:
By investing in a briquette press from C.F. Nielsen, we offer companies a way to maximize their efficiency and sustainability while transforming their waste into valuable resources.
