The Shuliy wood sawdust briquetting machine (Type 60) is a hydraulic forming machine for turning wood waste into fuel. It presses sawdust, wood shavings, rice husk and straw into solid round fuel rods at about 80 kg per hour, with a total power setup of 11 + 1.5 + 0.75 kW. Because it works by hydraulic pressure, no additives or binders are required — the raw material only needs to be at around 20% moisture. Two mold sizes are available, 60 mm and 70 mm in diameter, and the price starts from USD 4,500.

Technical specifications of wood sawdust briquetting machine

Key advantages of wood sawdust briquetting machine

• No binder cost — the hydraulic system binds the material by pressure alone, so there is no recurring purchase of additives and no cost added to every ton you produce.
• Four materials, one machine — sawdust, wood shavings, rice husk and straw all work, and they can be blended, so one Type 60 can consume whatever wood or crop waste is cheapest in your area.
• Encombrement compact — at 1650 × 1550 × 1500 mm and 800 kg, the machine fits into small workshops and existing sheds without taking over the floor.
• Product flexibility — 60 mm and 70 mm molds plus adjustable rod length let you serve different customer segments — retail, wholesale, or custom packing sizes — with a single machine.
• Modest power setup — the three-part drive of 11 + 1.5 + 0.75 kW keeps electricity demand reasonable for continuous small-batch production, without the power draw of a large production line.
• Low entry price — starting from USD 4,500, the Type 60 is an affordable first machine for turning local waste into sellable fuel.

Raw materials: sawdust, wood shavings, rice husk and straw

The wood sawdust briquetting machine is built for common agricultural and woodworking waste. Four feedstocks cover most buyers’ situations:

• Sciure from sawmills and furniture shops
• Wood shavings from planing and molding work
• Balle de riz from rice mills
• Paille from grain harvesting

These materials can also be blended before pressing — for example, sawdust mixed with a little rice husk — to suit the burn quality you want from the final rods.

One requirement matters more than the rest: moisture at around 20%. Too dry and the material will not hold together coming out of the mold; too wet and the rods will not set properly. Material straight from a wet sawmill usually needs drying, while coarse offcuts need crushing first — both are simple to add (see below).

Why hydraulic forming needs no additives

Many wood sawdust briquetting machines rely on the heat of a screw extruder to soften lignin and glue the particles together.

The Type 60 takes a different route: a hydraulic system pushes the material through the mold under strong, steady pressure, so the particles lock into a solid, self-bound rod as they compact.

That is why this biomass sawdust briquetting machine runs without additives — no binder purchase and no extra cost per ton of output.

The same pressure is what gives the rods their density: the firmer the compaction, the longer the rod burns and the better it survives handling and packing. Final density depends on the material mix and moisture, which we check against your raw material samples before confirming the order.

Solid round rods: 60 mm or 70 mm diameter

The finished product is a solid round rod — not the hollow hexagonal stick made by screw extruders.

The diameter is decided by the mold: Type 60 machines are supplied with 60 mm and 70 mm options, so one machine can serve two product sizes simply by changing molds.

Le length of the finished rods can also be controlled and adjusted according to your needs, so the same machine can meet different packing and sales requirements.

Do you need a crusher and a dryer paired with a briquette machine?

This is the most common production-line question, and the answer depends only on the material you already have:

• Sawdust or shavings already fine and around 20% moisture → feed the Type 60 wood sawdust briquetting machine directly; no extra equipment needed.
• Chips, lumps or long straw → add a wood chipper/crusher to size the material before pressing.
• Material wetter than the 20% working range → add a rotary dryer to bring moisture down before pressing.

If you plan to grow beyond 80 kg/h, the same equipment sits inside a full sawdust biomass briquette making machine production line with crushing, drying and packing stages.
