Briquetters compress powders or bulk solids into dense, uniform shapes such as briquettes or pellets, improving material handling, storage, and transport.

Chilsonators, a specialized type of roll compactor, compress powders into sheets or ribbons that are later milled into granules or briquettes. Both technologies play critical roles in industries where material uniformity and flowability are key.

Primary uses across industries

• In chemical manufacturing, briquetters and Chilsonators compact catalysts, specialty chemicals, and fertilizers into easier-to-handle forms.
• In pharmaceutical production, Chilsonators create uniform granules for tablet production.
• In food processing, they compact powders like spices, flours, and specialty ingredients for easy packaging and blending.
• In metals and mining, briquetters reclaim valuable metal fines and compress mineral powders for efficient handling.
• In agriculture and biomass industries, briquetters densify crop residues and organic materials for fuel and feedstock applications.

Types of materials processed

• Fine powders and dust-prone materials
• Moist or cohesive bulk solids needing densification
• Abrasive or high-density materials
• Sensitive pharmaceutical or food-grade powders

Common materials of construction

Briquetters and Chilsonators are built for durability, sanitary compliance, or heavy-duty processing:

• Stainless steel for pharmaceutical, food, and sanitary chemical applications
• Carbon steel for general industrial and mining processes
• Hardened alloy components for abrasive or high-pressure applications

Key features of briquetters and Chilsonators

• High compaction forces to create dense, uniform products
• Options for continuous or batch operation
• Adjustable pressure and gap settings for precise product control
• Designs that minimize dust and material loss
• Easy integration with downstream crushing or sizing systems
