Введение: 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.
ВWeiwa Machinery, 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, рисовая шелуха, and coffee husks—perfect feedstock for sawdust extruder machines. Unlike traditional charcoal production, which destroys forests, this method recycles waste into fuel.
2. Рентабельный & Profitable
Аsawdust 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, брикеты из биомассы burn cleaner, reducing respiratory diseases and deforestation.
Weiwa’s Sawdust Extruder Machine: Ключевые особенности & Trial Setup
Machine Specifications
Нашsawdust 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:
- Feeding sawdust into the machine.
- Extruding briquettes under high pressure.
- Сушка in the sun (or using a solar dryer for faster results).
Trial Results: Efficiency, Выход & Local Feedback
1. Производственная мощность
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
С$1,000/day revenue potential, the machine pays for itself in 6-8 months.
Challenges & Solutions for Ugandan Entrepreneurs
