The Rising Demand for Hydraulic Briquette Machines in Africa
Africa, particularly Ghana, is experiencing a surge in demand for efficient biomass densification solutions. As industries and households seek sustainable fuel alternatives, hydraulic briquette presses have emerged as a game-changer. At Weiwa Machinery, we recently conducted a successful hydraulic press briquetting machine trial for a Ghanaian client, producing heart-shaped charcoal briquettes—a unique and marketable product.
Why Hydraulic Briquette Presses Are Ideal for Ghana?
The Biomass Challenge in Ghana
Ghana, like many African nations, has abundant agricultural waste (sawdust, coconut shells, rice husks) that can be converted into charcoal briquettes. However, traditional briquetting methods often face challenges like:
- Low density leading to poor combustion.
- High production costs with inefficient machines.
- Lack of customization for unique markets (e.g., gift-grade briquettes).
Our hydraulic briquette press solves these issues by producing high-density, uniformly shaped briquettes with minimal energy consumption.
Why Ghana Prefers Hydraulic Briquetting?
- Low operational cost ( hydraulic pressure).
- High briquette density (better burning time & heat output).
- Customizable shapes (like our heart-shaped briquettes for premium markets).

Client Requirements
Our Ghanaian client requested a hydraulic briquette machine capable of producing not just functional, but visually appealing briquettes—specifically heart-shaped charcoal for cafes, hotels, and gift markets.
We configured our hydraulic press briquetting machine with:
- Adjustable molds for custom shapes.
- High-pressure hydraulic system (ensuring dense, solid briquettes).
- Easy-to-operate design (minimal training required).
The Briquetting Process
- Raw Material Preparation – Sawdust & coconut shells were dried to optimal moisture levels.
- Feeding into the Machine – The material was compressed using hydraulic force.
- Molding & Ejection – The heart-shaped mold pressed the briquettes with precision.
- Cooling & Packaging – The briquettes hardened quickly and were ready for market.
Result? A perfectly shaped, high-quality briquette that impressed our client and opened new sales opportunities.
