A recent client from Algeria, involved in the renewable energy and biofuel industry, approached us with the goal of increasing local production of sustainable fuel through biomass briquettes.

With high demand for renewable fuel sources in Algeria, this client was particularly interested in converting various agricultural and forestry residues into briquettes.

They were looking for a machine capable of handling a variety of feedstocks, including sawdust, wood chips, rice husks, and other biomass waste such as bamboo scraps and bagasse.

Based on the client’s requirements, we recommended our sawdust briquette making machine as an ideal solution due to its versatility, efficiency, and sustainable processing capabilities.

This machine is designed to convert a wide range of biomass materials into valuable briquettes, making it ideal for clients looking to utilize diverse biomass sources and agricultural residues.

The machine can process agricultural residues like rice husks, corn stalks, and coconut shells, as well as biomass waste such as forestry trimmings, sawmilling residues, and peanut shells. Its ability to process various materials aligns with the client’s goal of converting local waste products into a reliable fuel source.

Working principle and customization

During our discussions, we provided a detailed overview of the working principle of the machine, which operates efficiently through the following process:

  1. Crushing and drying. Raw materials are finely crushed to a particle size below 6mm, with a moisture content between 8% and 12%. Materials that are too large or wet would hinder briquette formation and increase machine wear. We advised the client to ensure raw materials are properly prepared to optimize machine performance.
  2. Heating and compression. After pre-processing, the heating ring raises the forming cylinder’s temperature to between 280-300°C. This high-temperature environment, combined with the screw propeller’s compressive action, allows the materials to be extruded smoothly from the mold into high-density, uniform wood briquettes.

Our client was impressed with the machine’s simplicity and efficiency, as it allows them to produce a high-quality product without the need for binders or additional additives.

We also customized specific settings to meet local standards in Algeria and adapted the machine to work optimally with available feedstocks.

Transaction details and logistics

During the negotiation process, we discussed various concerns related to pricing, energy consumption, and capacity. To meet the client’s production and budget requirements, we offered a competitive package with tailored pricing and emphasized the long-term benefits of using our machine.

To ensure smooth operations, we included detailed after-sales support along with technician training to maximize machine performance.
