How to Make Elephant Grass into Briquettes?
Elephant grass is a great raw material for biomass briquettes making. So, how to make briquettes from eleplant grass. Actually, elephant grass briquetting process should rely on a series of professional biomass briquetting machine. Below is the main steps to make biomass briquettes from elephant grass.

- Drying: Wet elephant grass, even after crushing process, can’t be sent into biomass briquette machine since it should be dried through the dryer to meet moisture requirements for briquetting. If the elephant grass is dry and the moisture content reach the standard, this process can be ignored.
- Briquetting: When elephant grass is prepared, then the next step is to process into briquettes into biomass briquett machine to get briquette as required sizes and shapes.
Some clients may also need to further process these elepant grass briquettes into charcoal since charcoal briquettes business is profitable and the demand also keeps increasing. To turn elephant grass briquettes into charcoal, the whole briquetting plant can be designed with carbonation process, that is to add carbonization furnace. If you are interested in making elephant grass into charcoal briquettes, please contact our briquetting engineers to get more informations!
