Briquetting

Why briquetting?

  • Creation of uniform products (size, volume)
  • Reduce the volume of a powder
  • Stabilise unstable mixtures
  • Improve powder flow
  • Keep a product dust-free

Fields of applications

  • Chemicals (sodium sulphate, sodium chloride, carbonates, sodium cyanide, potassium cyanide, iron sulphate, potassium bromide, boric acid, urea, calcium hypochlorite, etc.)
  • Minerals (alumina, bauxite, lime, dolomite, china clay, magnesia, fluorspar, paint pigments, sulphur, chromium, cobalt, copper, iron, manganese, lead, zinc, etc.)
  • Gypsum from power station flue gas desulphurisation
  • Sponge iron
  • Metallic oxides (Waelz oxides, rare earth oxides, zirconium hydroxide, ferroalloys, molybdenum trioxide, zircon sand…)
  • Steel turnings
  • Coal : production of briquettes for home heating or industrial purpose (partial coke oven charge, briquettes treated to obtain formcoke, briquettes for gasification)
  • Coal for production of activated carbon
  • Lignite, peat
  • Charcoal
  • Graphite, carbon black
  • Coke paste
  • Phosphate (hot or cold briquetting)
  • Clay
  • Detergents
  • Frozen food
  • Sugar
  • Salt
  • Glass batch
  • Steelworks waste materials and by-products (sludge, mill dust, sintered products, mill scale, coke fînes, etc.)
  • Dried sewage sludge

An Environmental Solution

  • Recycle industrial waste
  • Recycle beneficiated dust in an industrial process
  • Eliminate pollution problems caused by airborne dust – air and ground pollution

Feasibility study

  • Laboratory briquette press enables our client to conduct briquetting feasibility studies on a wide variety of products in very small quantities (about 10kg for one test)
  • The studies include briquetting performance and strength tests
  • If the results of the tests meet the client’s requirements, the project can move forward

MAXTON’s briquetting services:

  • Design of briquetting plants
  • Test runs and free feasibility studies at the workshop
  • Basic and detail engineering of briquetting.
  • Design and manufacture of all the equipment especially the key equipment (briquetting presses, mixers, dryers )
  • Technical assistance for mounting and commissioning of the units
  • Training of operators
  • Supply of spare parts
  • Modernisation of existing plants and equipment
  • Adaption of using own briquetting technology to equipment manufactured by other makers
