Cow Dung Briquette Press Machine

Instead of burning crop stubble in the fields, farmers and entrepreneurs can collect paddy straw, shred it, mix it with cow dung, and feed it into our briquette press. The machine uses high pressure to compress this biomass into dense bio-coal briquettes. This stops field burning, reduces winter smog, and creates a highly profitable fuel product.

The Ministry of Power and NTPC have mandated that coal-fired thermal power plants in India must co-fire 5% to 10% biomass briquettes alongside fossil coal to reduce carbon emissions. This has created a massive, guaranteed institutional market for bio-coal briquette manufacturers.

No. The extreme mechanical pressure and temperature generated inside the die cause the natural lignin present in the cow dung and agricultural residue to melt and act as a natural binding agent, forming solid, dense briquettes naturally.

Mechanical crankshaft presses are designed for high-capacity, continuous 24/7 operations, producing dense briquettes at a high speed. Hydraulic presses are generally lower in capacity and are better suited for smaller, batch-type operations.

The finished briquettes have a high density of 1.1 to 1.4 g/cm³, making them highly compact, durable, and easy to transport over long distances without breaking.

Depending on the mix of biomass (such as mustard husk, sawdust, or parali) blended with the cow dung, the calorific value ranges from 3200 to 4200 Kcal/kg, which is highly comparable to Grade-D coal.

The optimal moisture level of the mixed raw material fed into the hopper must be between 8% and 12%. Feedstock with higher moisture will generate steam inside the die, causing the briquettes to crack.

Yes, but we recommend blending it with dry agricultural waste (straw, husks, bagasse) in a 30:70 or 50:50 ratio. This increases the calorific value, improves burning characteristics, and enhances mechanical strength.

Depending on the model and required output (1 to 2.5 tons/hr), the press uses heavy-duty three-phase motors rated at 30 HP, 40 HP, or 50 HP.

Our dies are made of wear-resistant alloy steel. The inner wear sleeves typically last for 100 to 150 tons of production and can be quickly replaced to minimize downtime.

The automated variable-speed feeding screw adjusts the feed rate dynamically. If the main motor experiences overload, the feeder slows down or stops automatically to prevent jams.

The machine comes with a 6-meter-long steel cooling track. The extruded briquettes slide along this track, cooling down and hardening before they reach the bagging area.

The agricultural residue should be shredded or pulverized to a particle size of 5mm to 10mm before mixing with dry cow dung powder.

Yes, nationalized banks and IREDA offer special green project financing schemes. Additionally, MSME units can apply for capital interest subventions.

No. Because they are highly compressed and contain optimal moisture, they burn cleanly with minimal smoke and lower particulate emission compared to raw firewood or low-grade coal.

The machine is built with high-strength steel casting and heavy gears, giving it an industrial service life of over 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance.

We offer models with automated oil cooling loops for the main crankshaft bearings, ensuring the machine stays within safe operating temperatures during 24/7 runs.

A standard plant requires 3 to 4 workers: one for material shredding/mixing, one for feeding, one for monitoring the press, and one for packing and stacking.

Yes, if you feed carbonized biomass (charcoal powder) mixed with a natural binder, the press can produce high-quality barbecue or industrial charcoal briquettes.

Yes. Our engineering team handles the complete setup, alignment of the cooling line, electrical panel wiring, and initial test runs at your site.
