Homemade briquette press

Here you can see briquette press for 4 briquettes,very simple proces,you can make around 200 briquettes or more for 2 hour,this press is my favorite,using car jack takes lots of time to press briquettes so i have made this press to press lots of briquettes for a small time

How much paper to how much sawdust? Elegant design....nicely done!

[mladenkorotaj]

@crazy650c 40% paper and 60%sawdust

Thanks again for sharing this amazing videos with us.

A question.

How long you let them dry at the sun before they are ready for use?

[mladenkorotaj]

@satfoxy normaly i let them dry for two days and then you can use this briquettes,1 briquett burn around 1 hour,i love this press,with this press i can make lots of briquettes for 1 hour,most important is the mixture of sawdust and paper

[Primitevilband]

Pls, can me tell somebody what was the material what he use to make the briquettes???..so paper and what??

[mladenkorotaj]

@Primitevilband i use paper and sawdust

Excellent again, you are a Genious.

Nice machine...you could get a lot more travel if you designed one with a ratchet style press, this would take advantage of the leverage you have...when you think all the water is gone you would lift the handle and grab another notch allowing you to apply more pressure on your mix...great press non the less, a very nice job...I hope to be building one similar soon.

Very well done. Thanks very much for posting it. Unfortunately I don't yet know how to weld. But I will find a way to do this.

For sure ..... but then not everyone has the skills to make one. You might be surprised at the time, cost and thought that goes into designing and making things. My advice was more aimed at the actually mulch, not the machine ..... and the booklet for that is another bonus you didn't cost in.

[chevysb400]

@aeros135 I bet he made his cheaper and just as efficient.

[aeros135]

An effective design. I've been making fire briquettes for some time now .... and selling my own machines (ebay 180764989808). A couple of points that may be useful for anyone contemplating making briquettes. I make about 30/hr on a single briquette machine. The time is making the mulch and getting the ingredient mix correct. Drying is another issue. I can force dry otherwise it takes a long time. Paper is only the binder no more than 15%. Wood chips/dust is free. It takes practice but works well

nice

Any chance of getting the specs as this looks so good i want to build one as i have been looking at desins for a while and it looks the best thanks

[bob0000010]

Good design and like how it drains well. I would put a sliding locking bolt like on a door with a couple of pieces of rod on the bottom plate so not to have use a clamp. It looked like it was hard to fill so move the handle back and put longer extension to the piston would be eaiser to fill. It look like it has enough leverage so it should not bother it.

[venezualantree]

Fantastic! the leverage is excellent, but means it takes up a lot of space....i would make the handle removable.

Great and simple machine....will be building one soon... you should post your designs some where for easy download... good video
