Making Affordable Fuels with Straw Briquette Machine

Transforming Straws into Fuel

Straw is an abundant resource found predominantly in rural areas. There are numerous types of straw, including rice straw, maize straw, sorghum straw, millet straw, corn straw, wheat straw, cotton straw, barley straw, oats straw, potato straw, rape straw, and rye straw. After the yearly harvest, much of this straw is often left scattered in the fields. Only a few farmers gather it for household cooking or heating. However, burning straw directly can release harmful smoke, presenting a significant drawback for straw combustion.

How the Machinery Functions

Our straw briquette machine operates under two distinct principles, each catering to specific needs.

Features of the Straw Briquette Machine

(Screw and Punching Type Straw Briquette Machine)

Screw Type

• The screw type straw briquetting machine is capable of producing both straw briquettes and charcoal briquettes.
• Made with high-quality alloy steel components, it ensures durability and extends the machine's lifespan.
• Equipped with a specialized gearbox with a lubrication system, ensuring continuous pressure and regular lubrication.
• This model includes an automatic cutting system, enhancing production efficiency and allowing for custom lengths of straw briquettes.

Punching Type

• With the punching type straw briquette machine, you can produce both pellets and briquettes simply by changing the mold, which we can customize according to your specifications.
• This machine is designed with an oil heat transfer system, air cooling system, and dust extraction system, ensuring uninterrupted production.
• The punching process compresses the raw material into the briquetting chamber, enhancing the density of the final product.

In addition to straw, both types of machines can process a variety of biomass materials into top-quality briquettes, such as wood logs, wood chips, shavings, peanut shells, pineapple shells, twigs, and bark.

Versatile Applications of the End Product

The briquettes produced are characterized by their high density, uniform sizing, and compact volume, which makes them easy to store, transport, and manage. Made from biomass raw materials like crop straw, these briquettes combust efficiently without producing ash or harmful smoke. This makes them an excellent alternative to fossil fuels, suitable for a wide range of applications. Depending on their size, the briquettes can be utilized in various sectors. For instance, briquettes with an 8mm diameter are ideal for BBQ and frying tea. Those with a 30mm diameter are suited for home heating and cooking, while 70mm diameter briquettes are appropriate for industrial boilers and power generation. Additionally, the charcoal briquettes produced by the screw machine, featuring surface carbonization, are excellent for wood charcoal manufacturing in charcoal factories. Through the use of the straw briquette machine, you can create various types of fuel briquettes and leverage their exceptional benefits across multiple fields.

Straw briquette pellet fuel is classified as a renewable energy source. It refers to the compact briquetting fuel derived from straw through processes like collection, dehydration, and crushing under specific conditions. The density of these raw materials can reach between 0.8 to 1.3g/cm3, equivalent to medium coal. This advancement in processing significantly boosts the fuel's combustion performance, increasing efficiency from roughly 10%-15% through direct straw burning to approximately 30%-40%. The density, strength, and combustion characteristics of biomass are enhanced naturally post-briquetting, notably improving fuel quality. In comparison to loose straw, the combustion characteristics of briquette fuel see remarkable improvements, burning faster than coal. This addresses the challenges posed by various straw forms, small packing densities, and storage difficulties, while offering advantages like high volatility, easy ignition, reduced ash production, and extended burning duration.

The straw briquette machine is effective for processing corn straw, wheat straw, cotton stalks, rice straw, rice husk, peanut shells, corn cobs, branches, leaves, sawdust, and other agricultural residues. Enhancing the development and utilization of renewable energy is crucial for addressing the growing energy and environmental challenges and ensuring the sustainable progress of society. In rural areas, there is a wealth of diverse straw resources available for use.

The annual straw production in China reaches approximately 700 million tons. Though some straw is utilized for energy, animal feed, and fertilizer, around one-third remains unexploited, often discarded through burning. This practice not only wastes resources but also contributes to significant air pollution and transportation difficulties. Additionally, straw combustion poses fire hazards, threatening lives and property while damaging soil structure and diminishing land quality, hampering sustainable rural development strategies. A critical issue is the low mechanization level in straw storage and transportation. Key technologies and equipment remain in their infancy, which severely limits the commercialization and industrialization of crop straw. Comprehensive straw utilization—from animal feed to organic fertilizers and even power generation—first requires effective mechanical collection solutions. Without advancements in equipment designed for affordable collection, the comprehensive utilization of straw cannot progress. Thus, developing low-cost collection machinery stands as an urgent priority for us.
