DMSMAC developped a range of lab briquette machine/compactors for research and small laboratory projects,which can provide conclusive briquetting (compaction) tests on a variety of materials with samples.
This equipment enables to make briquetting and compaction-granulation feasibility studies on a wide variety of products in very small quantities (about one liter for one test, a few dozen kg/h in continuous use).
Another advantage of this equipment is that the pieces in contact with the product can be easily and rapidly dismantled, cleaned and reassembled. These pieces can be handled without any particular tools.
According to its configuration, the lab briquette machine/compactor produces:
- either briquettes in varied shapes (pillow, soap, stick,…) and volume from 0,5 cm3 to about 5 cm3.
- or granules from 500 µm to 5 mm.
FEEDING SYSTEM OF THE LAB BRIQUETTE MACHINE/COMPACTOR
The laboratory briquette machine/compactor is equipped with a forced feeder with a conical screw for feeding the rollers. Due to its conical shape, the forced feeder is able to pre-compact the powder before compaction, resulting in a better compacted product. For highly aerated and low-density powders, an optional degassing device (vacuum pump) can be installed in the forced feeder to remove the air contained in the product before compaction.
ROLLERS
The rollers are mounted in a cantilevered manner, or external to the mechanical part of the machine. This special design allows the “processing area” to be completely isolated from the mechanical part of the laboratory compactor.
The surface of the rollers (pocketed, knurled, corrugated, etc.) depends on the raw material characteristics and the desired end product.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
The hydraulic system allows the force on the moving roller to be adjusted to the product.
GRANULATOR
Regarding the compaction granulation process, the micro compactor is equipped with a granulator, whose rotor and screen are also cantilever mounted to isolate the “processing area” from the mechanical part.
To improve efficiency and meet the requirements of small particle size, a secondary granulator can be installed directly below the first granulator.
CONTROL PANEL
The laboratory briquette machine is equipped with a control and drive panel that allows adjustment and display of different operating parameters (screw speed of the forced feeder, rollers speed, pressure in the hydraulic circuit, rotor speed of the granulator) and continuous checking of operating conditions (motor current, product charge…)

Working Principle:
The briquetting process allows the compression of volatile or voluminous powders between two rollers rotating in opposite directions in order to obtain a calibrated shape and size with higher densification. This densification step offers many possibilities regarding the use of the material and, in some cases, it can also be an essential condition for the continuation of the process.
