The mechanical briquetting press develops a compression force of approximately 2000 Kg. per square centimeter to obtain an high quality briquette having a high specific weight and a remarkably reduced volume, without added adhesives.

The material to be briquetted must be cellulosic and dry (having a moisture content between 10 and 14%).

The hourly production refers to material which, in its original molten state, has a specific weight equal to approximately 160 - 200 Kg/cubic meter.
