The Rising Demand for Sawdust Briquettes in Indonesia
Indonesia, with its vast forestry and agricultural sectors, generates massive amounts of sawdust waste daily. Instead of letting this biomass go to waste, turning it into sawdust briquettes or charcoal briquettes presents a lucrative opportunity.
At Weiwa Machinery, we specialize in designing and manufacturing high-efficiency sawdust briquette machine lines, including a 5-ton/hour carbonization production line tailored specifically for Indonesian clients. Our solutions are optimized for local raw materials, energy efficiency, and high output, ensuring maximum profitability.
Why Indonesia is the Perfect Market for Sawdust Briquette Production?
Indonesia has a thriving biomass waste stream, particularly from:
- Wood processing industries (furniture, plywood, etc.)
- Agricultural residues (palm kernel shells, coconut shells)
- Forestry operations (sawmills, logging residues)
The government is also promoting renewable energy and carbon-neutral solutions, making sawdust briquettes and charcoal briquettes highly sought after for:
Household heating & cooking (cleaner alternative to firewood)
Industrial boilers & furnaces (cost-effective fuel)
Export markets (high demand in Japan, Korea, and Europe)
With our customized 5-ton/hour production line, Indonesian clients can efficiently convert waste into profitable briquettes.
The Process of Making Briquettes from Sawdust
1. Raw Material Preparation (Sawdust Collection & Drying)
Before making briquettes from sawdust, the raw material must be:
- Cleaned (free from metal, stones, or impurities)
- Dried (moisture content should be 8-12% for optimal binding)
Our sawdust briquette machine line for Indonesia includes drying systems to ensure the sawdust is at the right moisture level.
2. Briquetting (Extrusion into Dense Blocks)
The core of the process is sawdust extrusion using a sawdust briquette machine (also called a briquette press).
How Does a Sawdust Extruder Work?
- The dried sawdust is fed into the machine.
- High pressure and heat (from friction) compress the sawdust into dense briquettes (logs or pellets).
- No binder is needed (natural lignin in wood acts as a binding agent).
Our Weiwa sawdust briquette machines are designed for high throughput (5T/H) and low energy consumption.
3. Carbonization (Turning Briquettes into Charcoal Briquettes)
To produce charcoal briquettes from sawdust, the briquettes must undergo carbonization (a heating process in an oxygen-free environment).
Our Carbonization Furnace Options:
- Continuous Carbonization Furnace (for high-volume production)
- Horizontal Carbonization Furnace (for smaller operations)
The result? High-quality charcoal briquettes with long burning time, low smoke, and high calorific value—perfect for cooking and industrial use.
Customized 5-Ton/Hour Sawdust Briquette Machine Line for Indonesia
Based on our client’s field layout design, we engineered a fully automated 5T/H production line that includes:
1. Raw Material Feeding System
- Belt conveyors for smooth sawdust transport
- Vibrating screens to remove impurities
2. Drying System
- Rotary drum dryer (adjustable temperature for optimal moisture control)
3. Briquetting Machine (Sawdust Extruder)
- High-pressure screw press (produces dense, uniform briquettes)
- Cooling system to prevent deformation post-extrusion
4. Carbonization Furnace
- Continuous carbonization for high efficiency
- Smoke filtration to meet environmental standards
5. Packaging & Storage
- Automatic bagging machine (optional)
- Warehousing space in the layout design
Our engineers customized the field layout to fit the client’s available space, ensuring smooth workflow and minimal manual labor.
