Complete guide to the sawdust briquette making process

Step 1: Prepare raw material

Throughout the entire sawdust briquette making process, raw material preparation is the first and most critical step.

Common raw materials include:

  • Rice husk
  • Sawdust

Key control points:

  • Moisture content must be maintained between 8% and 12%
  • Raw materials should be uniformly sized, with no large lumps or impurities

If the raw materials are too wet, a sawdust dryer must be installed; otherwise, the following issues may occur:

  • Cracking of briquettes
  • Insufficient density
  • Machine clogging

Step 2: Briquette sawdust

Once the raw materials meet the specifications, the process moves on to the core step: briquette molding.

Shuliy sawdust briquetting machine uses high temperature and high pressure to compress sawdust into hexagonal or cylindrical fuel briquettes (pini kay briquettes).

Customer concerns:

  • Is the briquette densely packed?
  • Can the machine operate continuously for long periods?

Shuliy solutions:

  • High-strength spiral feed mechanism ensures density
  • Stable heating system improves forming quality
  • Support production capacities ranging from 200–1000 kg/h

The finished product(biomass briquette) offers advantages such as high density, low moisture content, and long burn time.

Step 3: Package sawdust briquette

The final stage of the sawdust briquette manufacturing process involves packaging and preparation for sale.

Common packaging options:

  • 10kg / 20kg woven bags
  • Small packages (1–5kg) for retail
  • Custom logo available (essential for export markets)

Customer concerns:

  • Is it easy to transport?
  • Does it meet export standards?
