Briquetting presses AECO

The AECO range of hydraulic briquette presses is designed primarily for application in small or medium-sized joiner workshops. The briquette press serves the purpose of processing wood waste with a moisture content of 8-15% in order to produce briquettes (fuel) from sawdust, wood shavings and wood dust, using a hydraulic piston mechanism. The briquetting process reduces the volume of waste material by up to 90%. The benefits are savings in the storage area, the creation of a dust-free environment and easy transportation, all of which is achieved without bonding material.

Fuel efficiency of 1 kilogram of briquettes: 15 – 18 MJ/kg

Material types suitable for briquetting

• sawdust, wood shavings
• wood and paper dust
• milled paper
• milled biomass
• chaff, straw
• waste from impregnated material – DTM, MDF

Advantages and hallmarks of the AECO briquetting presses

• High briquette quality – provides a high quality of combustion (low briquette residue) and maximum possible fuel efficiency
• Resistance to failure combined with a long operating life – application of high-quality materials for the manufacturing of the press mechanism, its robust design, as well as modern technology and high-precision machining
• Ease of operation – the entire process of briquetting is controlled by a computer
• Inspection and maintenance – oil level reader and a counter of the machine hours are standard features of AECO presses
• Low operation cost – low-consumption motors reduce the electricity costs to a minimum
• Hopper – designed for use together with a filtration superstructure and a ventilator for the direct transport of waste to the briquetting press
• Hopper inspection door  – for inspection and easy access to the hopper body
• Left- or right-side mount  – upon the customer’s request, we offer positioning of the press mechanism to accommodate the unit for a left- or right-side mount
• Outdoor operation – when supplied with special oil, AECO briquetting presses are capable of operation outdoors at temperatures as low as -25 °C
• Low level sensor – this feature turns the press off automatically once the level of the material in the hopper is too low. After material is resupplied, the press resumes operation automatically

Standard equipment

• electrical switchboard with a control computer for unmanned operation of the press
• automatic regulation of the length and quality of briquettes
• piping system for transporting briquettes to the packing site – 2 arches to a height of 1,200 mm
• thermostat for oil temperature control
• pressure gauge for working cycle control
• level mark of the hydraulic oil tank
• screw feeder of material to the pressing chamber
• extracting cutter on the hopper bottom
• sensor of the material level in the hopper for automatically turning the press on and off
• emergency entrance port on the hopper wall
• operation hours counter
• oil cooler or preparation for its installation
