ABSTRACT:
The Biomass matter can be used effectively in heat generation on a small scale which can easily reduce the load of consumption on coal and other fossil fuels. Briquetting of biomass
can increase the overall calorific value of biomass and also lasts longer. Briquetting can be done using an automated press w
with
ith high capacity available in the market but a human
powered press is relatively cheap economical and requires
res less maintenance, best suited for the one with raw roof thus promoting self-employment.
employment.

INTRODUCTION: PROPOSED DESIGN: FABRICATED MODEL: COMPONENTS:

Briquetting of biomass can be
done using many machines
available in the market, but the
Human powered machine is
the most economical and
effective of all. Though the
effort in briquetting using this
method is much higher as
compared to the automated
heavy duty machines in the
market, the yield of cost to
profit ratio in small scale
production is at par. Using human
powered machines is advantageous in
the way that they
provide a low maintenance service.
