Cold Briquetters

Cold Briquetters are Briquetters used in cold or lower temperature processes in industries. For cold briquetting at feed material temperatures of up to 100°C it may be necessary to add binders to improve briquette forming characteristics. In this way, coal fines have been briquetted for more than 100 years now. Binders are primarily used for the briquetting of substances that have inadequate adhesive forces and are thus unable to produce a firm briquette.


Common Features

  • Typical briquette sizes range between 1.5 and 250 ccm.
  • Briquettes may be egg-, cushion- or rod-shaped.
  • Briquette characteristics are governed by the respective application and process requirements.
