This video is about the simplest briquette press and testing of 2 kinds of moulding and deciding on which one of them is the best. It is a guide for those who wants to build one for themselves. It's so simple you won't need any heavy or advance tools to make one. My briquette press and moulding is made of scrap materials. It's just a prototype and I'm planning to build a more durable and stable briquette press base on this design.

I've made one similar to this using a scrap piece of square rainwater down pipe.
I drilled holes, cut it in two and used three off cuts to lock it together. Works fine but I never thought of putting holes in the briquettes. That's very clever. Well done!
I'll try adding a couple of spokes on my piston to see if it makes any difference.
Well done again for your very scientific approach.
Thank you very much!^^
It could be made without spending a lot of money🙂
Thanks for the awesome idea! I'll try making it by watching the video
A very good idea. The declaration also makes one to be interested in what you want to present.
Thank you very much!
i have watch so many videos with all kinds of complicated this that and the other...this is so simple and effective. Ill be building this with a few modifications. Great job!
Thank you very much for watching. You can build a better and more sturdy press based on this model. Once you understand the concept of briquette press you won't be having a hard time building it.
This is a good one, keep it up. I will make one for my backyard factory,. Thanx for sharing.
Thanks for acknowledging.^^
Good size for a wood burning stove, but a fireplace would need something bigger. Love the idea though. Simple and efficient.
@@dang6832 thanks for the comment. One can base his work from my design. This is just a small scale that only fits my small burner. If one wants bigger briquettes he can just increase the size of the mould based on his preference.
@@diyhobbyistcoupleph4985 kind of what I was hinting at. It’s easily sized for your needs. Love it. So simple too.
Good idea i will do the same but with a modern shop press.
Thanks for watching. Yep. Good tools works best and easier to use. I just made this video for people with limited resources or materials to build a presser. But the concept is still the same.
All the materials I used here are scrap woods and metals. Except for the screws..:D
Good jani🎉🎉🎉🎉
All the right info we need. nice job . Thanks
Nice innovation. I hope I can make one too so that all waste materials like paper can be reused properly. Alex DIY Corner
Thanks for watching. This design is very simple. You can make this using scrap 2x2. The tools needed for making the press are just hand saw for wood, hacksaw for metal for the pivot, electric drill to make a hole for the pivot, screws and screwdriver. For the mould just use a scrap pvc pipe 3 or 4 inches, hacksaw to cut the pvc pipe lengthwise, electric drill to make small holes and 3 or 4 inch hose clip.
Nice one
Split metal pipe and a pivot on the lever where the pressure is exerted should be good
Thanks for the tip.
Muy buena idea
Thank you very much!
THANKS FOR THIS!!!
You're welcome!
I saw quite a few videos on paper briquette making. Sounds like an environmentally friendly and economical way to sustainability. I do have a question, though: has it been researched if waste paper with printed material on it is harmful when burned, due to the fact that ink and/or powdered toner (used in laser printing) may produce harmful (or even toxic) airborne substances when burned?
That's a very good question. I just avoid using magazine as its paper has a lot of print in it and It has chemicals that makes the ink waterproof. So I'm not sure if that chemical is safe to humans and the environment. That's why I just avoid magazines. I think the ink used in ordinary printers are safer than magazines. I've read an article that the chemicals they use are just as toxic as in dish soap. The amount of chemical you inhale will depend on how many times in a week or a day you use the briquettes. If you're just using it whenever you grill that's just fine. If you're using it an hour a day it's still OK. But if you're grilling the whole day everyday like in the restaurant that the main menu is grilled I think that's already harmful. You should not use paper with prints but substitute it with a cornstarch as a binder to the biomass material(sawdust or charcoal).
@@diyhobbyistcoupleph4985 - thank you for the reply. Please rest assured that, overall, I applaud your efforts to promote conservation and sustainability. In fact, I am considering getting into paper briquette making.
Based on your reply, which mostly refers to grilling, I assume your suggestion is to use paper briquettes outdoors, and not indoors - correct?
@@tf-kl3kk It's always better to do the grilling outdoors. But if you don't have a lawn/backyard to set up the grill like in an apartment or condominium unit you can use briquettes indoors as long as you have a range hood or exhaust and the chimney is tall enough. About the toxic chemical present in an ink it's just some people exaggerates some small things. To me that pinch of toxic chemical can't reach the ozone. It will just be absorb by the trees. As for our health. I'm a nurse by profession by the way. Before it can enter our lungs it will pass through our nose. It will be filtered by the hair on our nose and stick to the mucus and eventually become a booger. If it happens to get in to our lungs, our lungs have enough mucus to protect us from that little toxic. It will not go directly to our system. It will just stick on the mucus and eventually be coughed or sneezed out.
Bravo...on a pratiquement le me fonctionnement 👏👏👏👍
Thank you!^^
Just a suggestion..with regards to the the pvc pipe i think you don't need to slice it in half thus removing the clamps everytime....why not remove the bottom cap as you finish pressing the biomass, you turn the pvc pipe upside down then press it downward for the pressed biomass to come out upward from the pvc pipe.
I tried that one. Because the biomass is compressed tightly it is hard to push it out. After a few briquettes I used a lot of energy pushing it out than compressing it. And it's very time consuming to push out. It is easier and faster this way.
@@diyhobbyistcoupleph4985 ohh i think its the perforation on the pvc pipe that makes it hard to push it out upwards.. maybe try to perforate instead the bottom cap.
@@paulbaut2004 all of the water cannot be pushed out if the holes are just at the bottom. Its applicable only if the one compressing it is a machine. But on the manual type like this you need to drill holes on the side so that it will be easier and lesser effort to push the water out.
Good job. But It's a bit of a slow process.
Yep. This is just for demo. To show the simplest and cheapest way to make briquettes. But it is not ideal if you want to make it as a business. For mass production you'll have to make a machine that can make several briquettes in one press. That's my project in the future.
Very cool idea!
Thank you!^^
Absolutely outstanding, thank you 👍
You're welcome!^^
Awesome! I'm thinking of building a press to be able to use some of our waste products from work.
Quick question... how long does the briquettes have to dry before use?
I usually dry them for 7 days to be sure. You can check our video about our briquette.
ua-cam.com/video/eb6lr3-fAFg/v-deo.html
@@diyhobbyistcoupleph4985 Oh, not longer than that? That's perfect! 😀👍 then it really is possible to make something when it doesn't need months to dry.
Thank you for taking your time and answering me! 😀
@@kristoffer-robinlotze7273 I've watched other videos before but I forgot the title and the channel but the longest I've heard is 2 weeks to dry. It depends on how big the briquette is. The bigger the briquette the longer it takes to dry.
@@kristoffer-robinlotze7273 I dry mine in a greenhouse.
good work
Thanks!^^
You've been so helpful. Thanks for sharing these two videos about this interesting idea. can you please tell us the difference between the three mixtures at 1:34 ?
The difference of the three is the 70% paper 30% sawdust mixture is easier to ignite but it burns faster and produced a lot of ash and less heat. The 30% paper 70% sawdust takes longer to ignite and kind of brittle because the only thing that binds them is the paper and the amount is just few. You could add some other binder like cornstarch but in this video I didn't use any because it is also an experiment if paper alone can bind them. That's why the 50 50 ratio is the best among the three. It is easier to ignite, burns longer and doesn't break easily.
But If you won't base it on my experiment the best ratio is pure sawdust. Make a paste using cornstarch and add it to the mixture. But not too much. If you want a longer burn you could add some used cooking oil to the mixture before drying them..
@@diyhobbyistcoupleph4985
I'm extremely grateful to you for the rich information you've given me.
@@matchbox6652 thanks!^^
Good art💕
Thank you!^^
Hi bro, what are the materials used for the steal molder?
For the steel I just used a 1.5 inch pipe. But you can use any size you want. Depending on the size of briquettes you want to make. But on the PVC I used a 3 inch PVC pipe. Cut to half and drilled holes. I used a 3.5inch hose clip to hold the pipe together.
Thanks!
Thank you very much!
Awesome make more useful ideas these really help people
Thanks!^^
Great video but get rid of the stone..if it slips you will damage your hand..hello from Ireland 🇮🇪🇮🇪
Thanks for watching!^^ the stone is OK because it fits the hole of the pipe so it won't slip. The real danger there is balancing the presser because the base is narrow.. if it tilts then I'll be diving towards the ground.lol
I'll update you all next time for the other design. It's much safer and durable.
thank you po for this, can i use your idea for my project?
Yes you can.^^
I was wondering , with this prototype how many briquettes can one make per day at a large scale
to be honest I do not recommend to use this model/design for mass production because the loading of the mixture and taking off from the moulding is time consuming. I'm planning to make a presser that can make six briquettes in one pressing and it has an eject feature without dismantling the moulding. maybe next time I'll make a video but not now because got busy in other works.^_^
@@diyhobbyistcoupleph4985 I understand .
How did you measure the ratio of sawdust and paper on the briquette?
You can use any container like a can or old plastic container. The size of the container will depend on the amount you need to mix. For me 500ml container is just right. For the 70% saw dust and 30% paper using the 500ml container just get 7 parts of saw dust and 3 parts of mashed paper and mix them in a larger container.
@@diyhobbyistcoupleph4985 how to get the 7parts of saw dust and 3parts of paper in 500ml container?
@@project8809 using the the 500ml container scoop up sawdust then put it on the large container or basin. Do that 7 times. After that scoop up some mashed paper then put it on where the sawdusts are. Do that 3 times. Then mix them well.
Good
Thank you!^^

👍
What are the materials used to make the press?
I used 2x2 inch wood for the lever and base. 1/2 x 3 wood planks for holding the lever and base. And 10mm metal rod for the pivot of the lever.
Идея не плохая..-молодец!!!

Thank you for the comment. Can you share the link of your video here? I'd be happy to watch it.
Listen please ?
Adds rock
I leave
Nice job but one day your balls will hurt with this machine
to prevent that don't do this the whole day...lol
@@diyhobbyistcoupleph4985 hahahahahaha nice
Let the wife do it then.
@@anthonylabeau6159 hahaha
Why are u mixing it with paper 🤔
Did you say simple bro? thats alot of work for a very small return.. Im sure you can make a Simple on but this aint it
I'm pertaining to the design. It's very simple that anyone with less equipment/tools can make this.
Return of investment is different. You can achieve a high return when you make a bigger press but not everyone has equipment and funds to make a complicated press with high return.
