Project Title

Design and Development of Artificial Coal making birquette machine

Project Area of Specialization Mechanical EngineeringProject Summary

Coal briquette is made by the coal briquette machine which uses coal dust or coal fine as the raw material. Sometimes we add other materials like the binder or something to make the briquette as most of the coal fine is hard to form together only by briquette machine. When we mine the coal, transport it, dry it, there comes a lot of coal dust. As matter of fact, about 20% of the coal we can get is in small particles. So, coal briquette is a good way to deal with these fine or dust as briquette has more burning value and utilization rate. Coal briquette has a lot of uses besides burning as fuel in home or power stations, etc. In fact, a lot of the coal briquette is also used in factories in order to get coal gas.

Also the coal preparation from this machine will certainly have a long life as compared to the other forms of coal. A very effective and less polluted form of coal will be produced which will ultimately result in good environment control. It is a very efficient way to produce a very large amount of coal at very low cost and in a very short period of time.

Project Objectives

After all the studies and research we have made on it, we have found that we will achieve following things after completing our project: 

• Very less pollution  

• Time saving 

• Long burning life  

• Environment friendly  

• Cheap / less expensive  

• Well specified shape

Project Implementation Method

The methodology used in this project encompases around accomplishing predefined tasks in an iterative manner. Following are the main steps that will be kept in mind in taking this project to completion:

• Planning

• Analysis

• Design

• Implementation

• Maintenance and Support

At the end of each predefined task, the advisor will administer the project progress and with guidance any iterative changes will be made in making the design of the machine more stable and durable.

Planning is the key process in the engineering methodology. Right planning before implementation will allow us to foresee any complication that may arise during the production phase.

Benefits of the Project

Briquette machines provide us with many benefits, the most important of which is environment friendly. It produces coal which is smoke free which ultimately results in less global warming.

Secondly, it is a very fast and fluent way to produce coals at a very high rate. The naturally found coal has to be mine from caves and in shipping it takes a lot of effort, time and cost which is not really encouraging.

It can also be specified any shape of coal briquettes from different configurations of output slots.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

• A Briquette machine which will be manufactured with high resistance and durability, which will produce coal bars from charcoal paste.

• The charcoal paste will be inserted into the machine and under high pressure from hydraulic press inside the machine.

• Cad designs and simulation for design validity.

• Good quality coal sticks which will have a long burning life.

• The machine will be environment friendly, limiting the global warming that arises from conventional machines.

• Data collection from the industrial coal manufacturers will be used in the determination of any commercial advantage of the machine.

• This will be a cheap production machine which will be highly beneficial for the industries to adapt.
