If you look on my website, you'll find two pdf files on briquetting technology and biomass densification. I wish I had more info myself, as I would dearly love to have a screw press for making biomass "logs" and pellets. http://www.cybershamanix.com/stoves/woodgas/briqueting.pdf http://www.cybershamanix.com/stoves/woodgas/densification.pdf Since I can't quite afford a $50K Shimano screw press, I've been thinking of trying to build a hydraulic ram pellet press -- actually just by building an oversize hydraulic log splitter and then adding a removable pellet die system to it, so it would serve as both splitter and pelletizer. Certainly not anything you could use commercially, but it might be interesting for experiments. If anyone has any ideas of any other source of cheap pellet machinery or especailly screw presses, I'd be glad to hear them. On Mon, Feb 18, 2002 at 09:42:57PM -0600, Paul S.
