The wood briquette making machine is an eco-friendly device that compresses loose waste materials—such as wood chips, shavings, and sawdust—into high-density briquettes using hydraulic or mechanical pressure, either with or without the addition of a small amount of binder.
This Model 60 machine requires the wood chips to have a moisture content of around 20%, has a production capacity of 80 kg/hour, and supports two briquetting die diameters: 60 mm and 70 mm. For wood processing plants, sawmills, and biomass fuel producers, this equipment facilitates the recycling of wood waste (such as sawdust and shavings) generated during daily operations, reduces the storage space required for loose raw materials, and improves waste handling efficiency.
How Does the Wood Briquette Making Machine Work?
The basic process involves preparing wood waste and compressing it into a solid cylindrical shape.
- Step 1: Prepare the raw material. Collect suitable sawdust or wood residues and remove foreign materials that could damage the equipment.
- Step 2: Adjust particle size. Crush oversized pieces when necessary to achieve a suitable and consistent feedstock.
- Step 3: Control moisture content. Check the sawdust moisture level and dry or condition the material as required. Aim for the recommended moisture content of around 20%.
- Step 4: Feed and compress the material. Feed the prepared wood waste into the machine, where the forming system compresses it into cylindrical briquettes.
- Step 5: Collect and inspect the briquettes. Check the finished products for consistent dimensions, strength, and appearance.
- Step 6: Arrange post-processing if needed. Depend on the final application, the briquettes may require additional cooling, drying, or suitable packaging before storage and transportation.
The exact process and any auxiliary equipment requirements depend on the machine configuration and the condition of the raw material.

What Materials Can a Wood Briquette Making Machine Process?
This machine is designed for suitable wood-based raw materials generated during wood processing. Depending on their particle size and moisture content, potential feedstocks include:
- Sawdust: Fine wood particles collected from sawmills, furniture factories, and woodworking workshops.
- Wood shavings: Residues from planing and other wood-processing operations that may require additional size reduction.
- Other suitable wood waste: Clean wood residues that meet the machine’s feeding and forming requirements.
Before production, remove stones, metal pieces, and other contaminants from the raw material. Large wood chips or irregular pieces may need to be crushed into a suitable size before feeding.
Different wood species and particle characteristics can affect briquette density, strength, and forming performance. If you plan to process several types of raw materials, conduct a material test to confirm compatibility before purchasing the equipment.
Why Is Sawdust Moisture Content Important?
The recommended raw material moisture content for the Model 60 machine is around 20%. Moisture control is important because it affects material feeding, compression, and the quality of the finished briquettes.
If the sawdust is too wet, it may be difficult to form stable briquettes, and additional drying may be necessary. If the material is too dry, the forming process may also be affected, depending on the raw material and machine design.
A practical preparation process includes checking moisture content before feeding and adjusting it when necessary. If your raw material comes directly from a sawmill or woodworking factory, its moisture level may vary with storage conditions and the original wood.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the output of the Model 60 wood briquette making machine?
The stated production capacity is approximately 80 kg/h. Actual output depends on the raw material, moisture content, operating conditions, and briquette specifications.
What is the total power of the machine?
The listed motors are 11 kW, 1.5 kW, and 0.75 kW, giving a combined rated power of 13.25 kW.
What is the recommended moisture content for sawdust?
The supplied specification recommends approximately 20% moisture content. The suitable range may vary with the raw material and machine design, so testing is advisable before full-scale production.
Can the machine produce different briquette sizes?
Yes. The machine is specified for 60 mm and 70 mm mold diameters. Confirm the mold configuration, changeover procedure, and availability of replacement molds when ordering.
Does the machine require additional equipment?
Additional equipment may be needed depending on the condition of the raw material and the finished-product requirements. A crusher may be necessary for oversized materials, while a dryer or other auxiliary equipment may be needed to control moisture or handle the finished briquettes.
Does the wood briquette making machine come with a warranty?
Yes. The wood chip briquette machine comes with a 12-month warranty period. During this period, customers can contact our team for technical assistance if they encounter problems. Before shipment, our engineers test the machine and provide photos and videos to help verify its operating condition. We also provide guidance on machine operation and maintenance to help customers use the equipment properly.
