The sawdust brick machine is widely used in biomass energy, charcoal processing, and environmental protection projects. With the growing focus on clean energy and resource recycling, biomass fuel is moving toward industrial and large-scale use. So what exactly is a sawdust brick machine? What problems does it solve, and where is it mainly used?

Apakah Mesin Bata Serbuk Kayu?

A sawdust brick machine is a specialized device that compresses loose biomass materials into high-density biomass fuel briquettes under high temperature and high pressure.

Common Raw Materials

The sawdust brick machine is highly adaptable to different materials. Commonly used raw materials include:

  • Agricultural waste: rice husks, straw, corn stalks, peanut shells
  • Forestry residues: sawdust, wood chips, wood processing scraps
  • Other biomass: bamboo chips, coconut shells, bagasse, etc.

These materials, which are usually bulky, low in density, and hard to transport or burn, can be processed into uniform, dense, and easy-to-burn biomass fuel briquettes. They are widely used for boilers, power generation, industrial heating, and domestic fuel.

Why Use a Sawdust Briquette Making Machine?

Raw biomass materials have clear limitations, and the sawdust briquette making machine addresses these issues:

  1. Improves Combustion Efficiency: Biomass briquettes have high density and stable calorific value, allowing more complete combustion and longer burn time.
  2. Reduces Transportation and Storage Costs: Compressed briquettes take up much less space, making stacking and long-distance transport easier.
  3. Turns Waste into Valuable Resources: Sawdust, straw, and other agricultural or forestry residues are transformed into marketable energy products.
  4. Supports Environmental Protection and Emission Reduction: Biomass fuel is renewable, low in sulfur, and produces fewer emissions, serving as an important supplement to fossil fuels.

Basic Working Principle of a Sawdust Brick Machine

The sawdust brick machine usually works on the screw extrusion principle, forming briquettes without any chemical binders.

The basic process includes:

Persediaan Bahan Mentah

  • Materials are crushed to a small particle size (generally ≤6 mm) and moisture content is controlled at 8%–12%.

Heating and Softening

  • The forming chamber is heated, softening the lignin in the material to create natural binding.

High-Pressure Extrusion

  • The screw continuously pushes the material through the mold under high pressure.

Continuous Briquette Formation

  • Solid or hollow biomass fuel briquettes are produced and can be cut to the desired length.

    High-Efficiency Sawdust Brick Machine Solution

    In practice, the structure, temperature control, and extrusion stability of a sawdust brick machine directly determine the quality and production efficiency of the briquettes.

    Shuliy Sawdust Brick Machines

    To meet biomass fuel briquetting needs, Shuliy offers multiple models of twin-screw sawdust brick machines (SL-160 / SL-220 / SL-280) for different production capacities:

    • kapasiti: 160–320 kg/h
    • Compression Ratio: >8:1
    • Briquette Calorific Value: 4000–4500 kcal/kg
    • Briquette Size: 6–80 mm (round or square)

    The machines use a twin-screw extrusion structure combined with an intelligent temperature control system, achieving continuous and stable formation under high temperature and pressure. They are suitable for small trial production to large-scale industrial projects.
