Utilizing straw for energy production offers numerous benefits. Straw, being a seasonal product, is best stored in briquetted form, which requires significantly less space compared to traditional bales. Although transitioning to straw as an energy source may take time as new markets are established, we at C.F. Nielsen possess extensive experience in diverse applications of straw, including briquetting for heating, consumer logs, biogas, bioethanol, and even animal feed and toys. Our goal is to share our expertise with clients, ensuring they achieve optimal results with our solutions.

Most straw types, including wheat, barley, and miscanthus, generally maintain moisture levels below 15%. This characteristic leads to a lower investment cost, since straw handling equipment tends to be more economical than wood processing machines. Our systems are meticulously designed to ensure that shredding, milling, dust extraction, and handling operations are tailored to our briquetting presses. Our straw briquetting capacities begin at 500 kg per hour.

It is also important to mention that straw typically contains a higher ash content, which can increase wear on machinery. However, C.F. Nielsen has innovated specialized accessories that help eliminate stones and sand during straw preparation. This innovation guarantees that our customers receive a robust and highly efficient machine.

Transforming Straw into Fuel

Straw's Potential as an Energy Source

Straw is a highly accessible resource, particularly in rural areas, with numerous varieties available such as rice straw, corn straw, barley straw, and many more. Following harvest, a significant volume of straw is often left in the fields, used only by a small fraction of farmers for cooking or heating. However, burning straw can release harmful smoke, rendering it an undesirable option for energy production.

How the Machinery Operates

Our straw briquette machinery operates on two distinct principles suited to various needs:

Key Features of Our Straw Briquette Machines

• The screw briquetting machine can produce not only straw briquettes but also charcoal briquettes.
• Constructed with high-quality alloy steel, the main components enhance the durability of the machine.
• A specialized gearbox is integrated with a lubrication system designed for efficient operation.
• The automatic cutting mechanism allows for precise control over the length of the output briquettes.

• This machine can produce both pellets and briquettes by simply changing the mold, which can be tailored to specific requirements.
• Equipped with an oil heat transfer system and air cooling system, it ensures continuous production.
• The punching mechanism compresses the raw material to achieve higher density briquettes.

Both types of our straw briquette machinery are also capable of processing a variety of biomass materials into top-quality briquettes, which includes wood logs, wood chips, shavings, peanut shells, and more.

Applications of the Final Product

The finished briquettes possess features such as high density, uniform size, and reduced volume, making them easy to store and transport. As a biomass-derived product, these briquettes combust efficiently with minimal ash and no toxic emissions, making them an excellent alternative to fossil fuels across various applications.

With a range of sizes available, our briquettes cater to diverse needs. For example, 8 mm pellets are perfect for BBQs, while 30 mm briquettes serve well for home heating. Larger briquettes can be utilized in industrial boilers and power generation. Our machines allow for the production of various fuel briquettes, showcasing remarkable versatility.
