As one of the important machine in the mineral to metal process, briquette machine has done a lot of work to make use the mineral dust.

Why make mineral briquette

Directly use mineral dust will make lots of waste of the raw material as well as the energy cost, thus briquette them and use the briquette in furnace become a good way to solve the problem.

Common minerals

Iron ore powder (hematite, magnetite, limonite, etc.), Manganese Ore,  Chromium ore (chromite massive Isometric, chrompicotite, etc.), Silica ( quartz, tridymite, cristobalite, etc.),  Bauxite,  Fluorite, Magnesite, Dolomite, Limestone,  Quicklime, Bentonite,   Copper ore (sulphide copper ore,  oxidized copper ore, etc), Nickel (sulphide ore,  oxidized ore), Lead ore concentrate, Zink ore concentrate, Tin ore concentrate, etc.

Important things on the briquette process

Mineral Size

Get a material with the small particle is the first thing we need to ensure in mineral briquette process.  Forms a solid and homogeneous product (briquettes or flakes) out of various size fractions and a further crushing/sieving step is required to obtain granules of various size ranges.

Moisture

By choosing the different briquette press with different pressure and briquette size, you will need to find the most suitable moisture for making your briquette. Generally located between 3 and 15%. Normally, low pressure should be with high moisture, and also, high pressure with low moisture.

Pressure

Not high pressure will help you to make a high quality briquette. Actually, a pressure too high will break the structure of the mineral powders and make the briquette with low strength.

Binder

Minerals are hard to briquette as it’s of low plasticity, we need high pressure and a well-distributed binder to do this work. Mix the mineral powder with binder will help you to make high quality briquette, note, different mineral powders need to use different mixers to get a better mix affect.

Use Roller Briquette Press Machine to make mineral briquette

The advantage of using roller briquette press to make mineral briquette.

• A continuous briquette work.
• A simple technology: fast implementation, ease of maintenance, easy handling.
• A flexible process. A lot of material can be briquette just by using one briquette machine.

The Briquette

Mineral briquette machine for sale

Use a hydraulic roller briquette press will help to briquette some of the mineral powders with low moisture.

The Advantages

• A dry process: raw material granulated with low moisture, not requiring drying.
• A simple technology: fast implementation, ease of maintenance, easy handling.
• An efficient process: cheaper granules with reduced fixed costs and low production cost.
• Less wear than classical die presses.
• A flexible process. A large range of clays (bentonite, sepiolite, attapulgite…) can be granulated on our roller presses.
