A trial production of rice husk based charcoal briquettes has been conducted by SIMEC biomass pyrolysis R&D team. The rice husk was charred by SIMEC Biomass Laboratory Pyrolysis Apparatus in R&D workshop at the end of October, 2020. Then the rice husk charcoal was converted into hollow cylinder briquettes.

Feedstock: Rice husk charcoal
Organic Additive: Cassava starch paste
Pretreatment: Additive blended
Additive Percentage: 5%
Blending Equipment: Laboratory wheel mixer
Briquetting Equipment: SYY-1000 briquetting machine
Feedstock Weight: 1.43 kg

Before briquetting, the rice husk charcoal was blended with 5% cassava starch paste by a SIMEC edge runner mill for 10 minutes. As a result, the charcoal was milled and thoroughly blended with the organic additive.

Then the blended feedstock was pressed into hollow cylinder charcoal briquettes by SIMEC SYY-1000 cold briquetting machine. The models for producing various shapes of briquettes can be customized. Briquette length adjustment can be achieved due to the pressure monitoring and regulating system. 
The briquettes were dried by an exclusive dryer at 40℃ for 10 hours. 
The dried briquettes are compacted and hard with high quality.
