AI Thread Summary
A DIY briquetting press using a hydraulic drive can be designed with a hydraulic cylinder diameter of 60 mm and a circuit pressure of 200 bar, yielding a force of 56,000 N. However, the necessary force for pressing is approximately 200,000 N, indicating that adjustments may be needed for effective operation. A suggested resource for construction ideas is a link provided, although it may be more suited for industrial applications rather than small-scale setups. The discussion also highlights the importance of considering the size of the briquetting press, suggesting a backyard or garage scale. Overall, participants are seeking practical designs and specifications for a functional briquetting press.

Hi!
I would like to make briquetting press of stalk material. I think it can be simple mechanism with hydraulic drive. If hydraulic cylinder diameter is 60 mm and circuit pressure of tractor 200 bar force from cylinder can be 56000 N. Necessary force in pressing cylinder is approximately 200000 N. Maybe someone have briquetting press drawing for construction ideas? What is the feeding hole size?

Hi

I think this link will be helpful for you making briquetting press drawing http://www.chipperanddryer.com/layout-plan-for-briquetting-plant-manufacturer.php


Thanks

That's a nice link, Harinder, but I have a suspicion that it might not be appropriate. That appears to be a large industrial system, and such things don't usually "scale down" very well.
Festivaals, what size do you want this thing to be? From the dimensions that you mentioned, I was figuring a back-yard or garage sort of set-up.
 

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'

Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
