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?

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.
