Coffee briquette machine is also called the coffee logs press. It can transform the coffee wastes into solid bio-fuel logs without any binding agent. Coffee grounds needs to be mixed with at least 50% sawdust to make briquettes.

How to make coffee briquettes

First step: Crushing coffee husk

Common coffee wastes such as coffee grounds, coffee husks, coffee chaff, etc. can be used to produce bio-fuel rods. Before making bio-fuel briquettes, we need to make sure the size of the materials is smaller than 5mm, and moisture is below 12%. If we use coffee husks to make briquettes, the first step is crushing coffee husk, making its size less than 5mm. If using coffee grounds or chaff, ignore this step, come to the drying process directly.

Second step: Drying coffee wastes

Usually, the humidity of recycled coffee wastes is different. For better compression molding, we need to dry the materials to reduce the moisture content to below 12%. Choose a suitable coffee wastes dryer according to the processing capacity. An airflow dryer (pipe dryer) can be used for small output, and a rotary drum dryer can be selected for large-scale drying.

Third step: Making briquettes

It is a screw-type briquette machine for making hollow rods from coffee waste. This machine includes a heating system that can press the materials into briquettes without any binder.
