Semi-automatic Charcoal Mixer and Compression

Energy is a must the belonging to human beings in everyday life the day. Nowadays, the value of energy is higher. Renewable energy this to play a greater role. Purpose research is to design and build mixers automatic charcoal briquette press. Charcoal production from waste materials, coconut shell charcoal powder. Study property the problem of charcoal powder, design and construction of mixing machines, automatic charcoal briquettes. Study the performance mixer and efficiency of Automatic charcoal compress and studying the properties of charcoal briquettes. Trial this Coconut shell charcoal powder, tapioca starch the cassava as a binder and water. It is an ingredient. Charcoal powder 3 kg. Tapioca starch the 50 g and water empty 450 ml. Mixed with a mixer leading residents into the machine a Charcoal briquettes. Study the properties charcoal powder. The evaluation the efficiency of mixing machine, charcoal briquette press and the study of the properties of charcoal briquettes. The results showed that initial charcoal with moisture 26%wb. Charcoal density 552.18 kg/m3 the performance of the mixer is compatible with at 5 min. Mixing 300 kg/kWh Charcoal compressor capacity 7 s per briquette. Power consumption the Charcoal briquette machine 293.33 briquettes/kWh. Moisture content of charcoal 7.23%wb. Density of charcoal 747.53 kg/m3 as mixing index 0.97 the calorific value of charcoal 6588 kcal/kg is within the range. Product charcoal briquette standard constraints the Bite/implication of research: Residual material (charcoal powder) the Can be used to benefit. But must go through the process briquette to increase the calorific value of the fuel. Practical effects: can be used the Charcoal powder can be compressed into bars to create value. The study focused on the mixing process. And charcoal briquettes from waste materials (charcoal powder) these energy to replace some fuels used in the combustion process because it is a by-product and creates value from waste materials.
