SAWDUST BRIQUETTING PRESS MACHINE

This paper explains the designing, fabrication, and automation of a biomass ‘Sawdust Briquetting Machine’. Sawdust when used in form of Briquettes gives more energy, produces less ash and is easy handle and possessless harm to environment as compared to Sawdust. By keeping in mind all this aspects the machine is developed to produce Sawdust briquettes. The production cost was found to be lower due to the lower moisture content of the feed stock required for this machine is lower by about 30% compared to the best alternative, which results in shorter drying time for the Sawdust Briquettesproduced. The quality of the produced briquettes’ was found to be better and lower smoke generation when burn due to the lower binder content.
