SUMMARY

The optimal design for a DIY briquetting press using a hydraulic drive involves a hydraulic cylinder with a diameter of 60 mm and a circuit pressure of 200 bar, generating a force of 56,000 N. However, the necessary force for the pressing cylinder is approximately 200,000 N, indicating that additional design considerations are required to achieve this force. A suggested resource for construction ideas is available at Chipper and Dryer, although it may not be suitable for smaller-scale applications. The discussion highlights the need for clarity on the desired size of the briquetting press for effective design.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of hydraulic systems and their components
  • Knowledge of force calculations in mechanical design
  • Familiarity with briquetting processes and materials
  • Basic skills in interpreting engineering drawings
NEXT STEPS
  • Research hydraulic cylinder specifications and performance metrics
  • Explore design principles for small-scale briquetting presses
  • Investigate alternative hydraulic systems for achieving higher force outputs
  • Learn about material selection for briquetting feedstock
USEFUL FOR

DIY enthusiasts, mechanical engineers, and anyone interested in building a small-scale briquetting press for agricultural or recycling purposes.

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.
