Introdução: The Rising Demand for Biomass Charcoal in Uganda

Uganda, like many African nations, faces energy challenges, with over 90% of rural households relying on firewood or charcoal for cooking. This has led to deforestation and environmental degradation. ​Charcoal making machines, particularly ​sawdust extruder machines, offer a sustainable alternative by converting agricultural waste into eco-friendly briquettes.

At ​Máquinas de Weiwa, we recently conducted a ​field test of our sawdust extruder machine in Uganda, demonstrating its efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Why Sawdust Extruder Machines Are Ideal for Uganda

1. Abundant Raw Materials

Uganda has vast agricultural waste, including sawdust, cascas de arroz, and coffee husks—perfect feedstock for ​sawdust extruder machines. Unlike traditional charcoal production, which destroys forests, this method recycles waste into fuel.

2. Econômico & Profitable

The ​sawdust extruder price in Uganda​ is competitive, and the return on investment (ROI) is high. Our trial showed that a small-scale unit can produce ​300 kg of biomass briquettes per hour, selling at ​USh 2,000-3,000 per kg​ (approx. 0.80).

3. Environmentally Friendly

Unlike traditional charcoal, which emits harmful smoke, ​biomass briquettes​ burn cleaner, reducing respiratory diseases and deforestation.

Weiwa’s Sawdust Extruder Machine: Key Features & Trial Setup

Machine Specifications

Our ​sawdust extruder machine for sale​ includes:

  • High-pressure screw extrusion​ for dense briquettes.
  • Diesel/petrol engine options​ (no electricity needed).
  • Adjustable output size​ (5-10mm diameter).

Trial Location & Process

We set up the machine in ​Mukono District, Uganda, partnering with a local farmer. The trial involved:

  1. Feeding sawdust​ into the machine.
  2. Extruding briquettes​ under high pressure.
  3. Secagem​ in the sun (or using a solar dryer for faster results).

Trial Results: Eficiência, Saída & Local Feedback

1. Capacidade de produção

The machine produced ​300 kg of biomass briquettes/hour with minimal downtime. Local workers were trained within ​2 days, proving ease of use.

2. Fuel Efficiency

The diesel engine consumed ​2.5 liters/hour, making operational costs low.

3. Market Response

Local buyers (restaurants, households) were impressed by:

  • Higher burn time​ (vs. traditional charcoal).
  • Lower smoke emissions.
  • Affordable pricing​ (USh 2,500/kg vs. USh 3,500/kg for wood charcoal).

Sawdust Extruder Price in Uganda: Is It Worth the Investment?​

Cost Breakdown

  • Machine price: 12,000 (depending on capacity).
  • Raw material cost: ~$30/day (sawdust is cheap/free locally).
  • Labor & maintenance: Minimal ($50/month).

ROI Calculation

With ​​$1,000/day revenue potential, the machine pays for itself in ​6-8 months.

Challenges & Solutions for Ugandan Entrepreneurs

1. Raw Material Collection

Solução: Partner with sawmills/rice mills for free sawdust.

2. Drying Process

Solução: Use ​solar dryers​ (cheaper than fuel-based drying).

3. Market Competition

Solução: Sell directly to hotels/schools (bulk buyers).

Conclusão: Why Weiwa’s Sawdust Extruder is a Game-Changer in Uganda

Our ​field test proved​ that ​sawdust extruder machines​ are viable for Uganda’s energy needs. With ​baixo investimento, high returns, e benefícios ambientais, this technology is poised to transform the charcoal industry.
