Detailed Operation Steps for Sawdust Briquette Machine

As a core equipment for biomass energy processing, sawdust briquette machines are widely used in the production of briquettes from raw materials such as sawdust and straw. Proper operation not only enhances production efficiency but also extends equipment lifespan. This article, based on technical advice from briquette machine manufacturers, provides a comprehensive breakdown of operation procedures and precautions.

I. Pre-Operation Preparation

• Equipment Inspection

  Before startup, ensure all components are securely connected, with no wear or looseness in critical parts like the screw propeller and heating coils. For regular maintenance guidance, refer to the manual provided by your briquette machine manufacturer.

• Raw Material Preparation

  Raw materials must be dried to a moisture content of 12%-15% and Crushing to a particle size of 3-5mm. Wet or oversized materials may cause discharge difficulties.

• Die Installation

  Select a die with the appropriate aperture according to production needs, ensuring compatibility with the machine model. Follow the manual strictly during installation to avoid misalignment.

II. Standardized Operation Process

• Startup

  After powering on, let the machine run for 3-5 minutes to check for unusual noises or vibrations. For first-time use, it is recommended to have a briquette machine manufacturer’s technician present for guidance.

• Feeding and Briquetting

  Feed materials slowly and evenly to prevent jams. During operation, maintain the heating coil temperature at 180-220℃ and monitor pressure values via the control panel.

• Discharge and Cooling

  Allow the formed briquettes to cool naturally to room temperature before packaging to prevent deformation or mold caused by residual heat.

III. Common Issues and Solutions

• Discharge Blockage: Check material moisture content or die clogging.
• Loose Briquettes: Adjust heating temperature or pressure parameters; consult the manufacturer for die replacement if necessary.
• Unusual Noises: Immediately stop the machine to inspect for damaged bearings or screw propellers.

IV. Safety and Maintenance Tips

• Wear protective gear to avoid burns from high-temperature components.
• Clean residual materials daily and lubricate moving parts regularly.
• Empty the machine and disconnect power before long-term shutdown.
