now that is a nice press because you can get them good and compact unlike some I have seen and you can hold the preser on the briquette untile they are good and solid. nice giveing me ideas of a way to reuse my leaves and other screap trashe liek news paper and such.
I'm sorry I'm unfamiliar with this practice. Are these for your own personal home heating needs? Also what is the refuse/particles that you are using?...my guess would be corn husks?
Excellent job! I can see that a lot of work went into creating that press. It's really heavy duty and should last for years! You're quite the fabricator.
great design, you could add a second rail system to your top piece that you use to press the bricks, this way you would not have to pick it up and take it off every time.
you could have your top rail spring loaded so you could slide your press top onto your bricks, and when you press them the spring loaded rail will lower with the press, when your done and release the pressure, the top of the press would raise on its own and you then could slide it to the side, this would lessen your labor.
This is a really excellent work!!! It gives a hope that u can be less depented to petreleum for heating. I will definitely try it. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work!!!
You have everything figured out. Is it possible to have deeper chambers for 2-3 briquettes at a time? I can't help thinking about 50-75 pieces per feed. Thank you so so much. This is the best I have seen so far.
Nice concept and prototype. An axle and bearing for the tilt, and a better locking method for the horizantal postion and you would have a nifty set up. A way to catch and reuse the water is probably a good idea too.
Excellent design and build! Instead of sawdust, have you tried mulch? I have a ready and free supply of mulch and wonder if anyone has tried that material.
You have a lot of work and time to develop this fabulous device. Certainly, many markets for you, no problem, I am sure. Congratulations again and very happy to have heard from you. Best wishes for you
Wonderful improvements over just about any thing out there! The trapdoor on the bottom is much better than my slide. My compliments. How about drying? Do you find the square shape dries as uniformly as the round? Keep up the great work!
Wonderful job, you built a really cool machine! Your videos are really good and informative. You made a fantastic machine, let us know how the briquettes burn when you have free time.
I was thinking before you where pressing the briquettes out, would he have something to catch them from underneat and then you came with you plate to slide underneat. really good.
I'm not quickly impressed but now you really did it.
That is a super development. What size are the briquettes and how long do they take to dry please?
I am still working on my second machine but my problem is that I can't weld and have no welder to learn so it's hard to get volume without a rigid frame but I'm not going to give up....yet.
@markbloxam. i use paper

I'm impressed! What you using for bonding mixture - just water or something else?
25 logs by 8 min - 1200-1500 logs can be made by one day. Not too bad at all...

Smjesa je mjesavina fine piljevine i novinskog papira ili kartona,trebas papir da se briket drzi skupa,pozdrav

What is the shrinkage/expansion (% or cm or mm) after bricks are dried?
komitaltrade 6 months ago
@komitaltrade the briquettes remain the same size and shape as they were pressed,they dont shrink and dont fall apart after i press them

@mladenkorotaj What is compression ratio (sawdust in m3 and bricks in m3), course, just approximately?

@crazy650c i only use sawdust,i can get a lot of sawdust for a low price by my friend he has a big saw mill,sawdust is very fine so it can press easy

Great job!
I'm going to build one of these that makes 4" round briquettes. They will fit my large gasifier. Can use 4" steel pipe sections.
This one is perfect for many uses though.
Message me and I'll send you a .PDF of my gasifier build instructions from Instructables.
