FAQs

It’s a project to convert agro forestry waste to Bio coal . Shortly project for Best from waste. In brief we can describe, it is a machinery which is capable of binding any agro-forestry waste in to finished Briquettes / Bio-coal / White coal.

The project is viable where Agro-forestry Waste / Biomass is available with in the surrounding area and can be available in abundant quantity with cheaper rate. Thus project should be economically viable.

Any type of Agro-forestry Waste / Bio-mass can be converted in to Finished Briquettes. i.e. Saw Dust, Ground-nut Shell , Custer Shell , Sugar-cane Baggas, Cotton Stalk , Bamboo Dust , Wheat Husk , Sarsav Husk etc..

Well to agro-forestry waste should having below 10%moisture content and should also be having less than 20mm. If it should contain more than 10% moisture then drying is required and respectively cutting should require.

Yes, it can run continuously round the clock.

On dry basis to convert biomass into briquettes is 100%, as the process only involves densification.

Size : Up to 20mm, if bigger then cutting is required.

Moisture : Below 10%, if higher then drying is required.

Jumbo-90 production capacity is 1500 Kg / Hr. It may varies +- 15%, which depends on the bulk density of the Raw Material.

High Production Capacity, Law Production Cost, Doesn’t required Powder Making unit, Low Maintenance.

It’s a demandable market in industrial sector rate approx Rs. 2500 Rs. to 3000/MT

The Calorific Value of the Finished Briquettes is Approx 4000 K.cal/Kg. The Calorific Value may varies depends on the different RM used. It can be replace any kind of Coal like Lignite, Fire wood, Steam Coal etc

• Briquettes are cheaper than coal.
• Oil, coal or lignite, once used, cannot be replaced.
• There is no sulfur in Briquettes, thus does not pollutes the environment.
• Biomass briquettes have a higher practical thermal value
• Briquettes have much lower ash content (2-10% as compared to 20-40% in coal).
• Combustion is more uniform compared to coal
• Briquettes are usually produced near the consumption centers and supplies do not depend on erratic transport from long distances.
• Briquettes give much higher boiler efficiency because of low moisture and higher density.
• Briquettes, are easy to store, pack and hygienic to handle.

• Yes, Free Income Tax benefits up to 5 years. No any excise Duty on the Plant due to the Renewable Energy Project

• One skill operator and five un-skill workers per shift can be easily run the plant.

• The suitable land requirement for setting up Briquetting plant requires machine room size as 20 Ft. x 30 Ft. with 12 Ft. height and for raw material procurement it requires 1 acre land.

• No, It’s totally pollution free project.

• No. It’s a complete binder less technology

• As lignin present in the raw material gets converted into liquid form and acts as a natural Binder. Thus it does not require any external binder. Therefore it is known as Binder Less Technology.

• Yes, only avoid contact with water & Fire.

• The Shape of the finished Briquettes is cylindrical shape with 90 mm diameter and length is approx. 1 ft.

• The converting cost is approx. Rs. 400/MT in India. It’s including Power, Labor, Wear and Tear Parts and other Misc. expense.

• Briquettes are cheaper than coal.
• Oil, coal or lignite, once used, cannot be replaced.
• High sulfur content of oil and coal, when burnt, pollutes the environment.
• There is no sulfur in Briquettes.
• Biomass briquettes have a higher practical thermal value and much lower ash content (2-10% as compared to 20-40% in coal).
• There is no fly ash when burning briquettes.
• Briquettes have consistent quality, have high burning efficiency, and are ideally sized for complete combustion.
• Combustion is more uniform compared to coal and boiler response to changes in steam requirements is faster due to higher quantity of volatile matter in briquettes.
• Briquettes are usually produced near the consumption centers and supplies do not depend on erratic transport from long distances.
• Compared to fire wood or loose biomass, briquettes give much higher boiler efficiency because of low moisture and higher density.
• Briquettes, are easy to store, pack and hygienic to handle.

• Briquettes have high specific density (1200 Kg/m3) and bulk density (800 Kg/m3) compared to 60 to 180 Kg/m3 of loose biomass.

• Briquettes are widely used for any Thermal application where coal can be utilize i.e. steam generation in boilers, heating purpose etc. Briquettes can replace following conventional fuels that are used in mass quantities:

  • Diesel
  • Kerosene
  • Furnace Oil
  • Lignite
  • Coal
  • Firewood

• Following industries can make maximum use of briquettes:

  • Ceramic and Refractory Industry
  • Solvent Extraction Plant
  • Chemical Units
  • Dyeing Plants
  • Milk Plants
  • Food Processing Industries
  • Vegetable Plants
  • Spinning Mill
  • Lamination Industries
  • Leather Industries
  • Brick Making Units
  • Other Industries having Thermal Applications
  • Gasifier system in Thermal
  • Textile Units

• Very low ash content as low as 2 to 5% compared to 20% to 40% in coal.

• We use Binder less Technology with Mechanical type plant with Ram and die, as it has its own advantages like:

  • Lower capital cost due to indigenous parts.
  • Commercially viable due to higher production & lower converting cost.
  • World wide accepted technology.
  • It is easy to operate & maintain.

• There are 2 types of Briquetting Plant are available depending on the production capacity, i.e.

  Super 60 : 600 – 750kg/hr*

  Jumbo-90 : 1500kg/hr*

• Our Briquetting Plant – Jumbo 90 does not require any powder making units, raw materials residues size up to 1 – 20 mm size can be directly feed

• • High Profitability
  • Excellent Growth Potentiality
  • Ready Market
  • Wide Variety and easy availability of agro-waste from various crops
  • Short gestation and quick returns
  • Employment Potentiality
  • Conversion of natural resources into Hi-tech energy & maintenance of ecological balance.

Briquetting Plant requires connected load of 90HP but consumption load is of 75HP.

There are 4 electric motors will be fixed in Briquetting Plant – Jumbo 90.

• Main electric motor : 75HP
• Feeding Kupy motor : 7.5HP
• Conveyor Electric motor : 5HP
• Lubrication Electric Motor : 3HP

Average power consumption are around 40 to 45 units / MT at continuous running of Briquetting plant – Jumbo 90.

Yes trained and experienced operators of Shree Khodiyar will train your operator unless your operator will get trained completely about running a plant successfully.

Shree Khodiyar have engaged a huge team of professionals for providing timely and accurate after sales support to our clientele. We always visit all our clients at least twice a year to solve their problems (if any) and also to educate them with updated technologies.
