Gypsum Briquetting Machine

Gypsum Briquetting Machine For Sale

Gypsum briquette machine is mainly used to suppress desulfurization gypsum powder, and the pressed balls can be used as a retarder in cement plant. In recent years, its application in building material industry is very extensive. It has characteristics of high molding pressure, easy demoulding, high-efficiency, low energy consumption, low failure rate, and convenient repair. It has five types according to the yield. The direct pressing without subsequent drying process is more conducive to the existing production process of convergence and transformation, which has high forming strength. It is suitable for all kinds of transportation, so as to reduce the packaging cost.

Gypsum compactor and its supporting equipment can compress desulfurized gypsum powder into disposable ball products without any help of adhesive. Through the characteristics of high yield and good hardness, it has been put into production in many power plants and cement plants in China with good results.

What is Gypsum? Where does it come from?

Gypsum is a soft sulfate mineral composed of calcium sulfate dihydrate. It is a very common material found all over the world. You can think of it in two main forms. The first is natural gypsum, which we mine directly from the earth. It has been used in construction for thousands of years.

The second form is synthetic gypsum. This is a byproduct of industrial processes. The most common type is Flue Gas Desulfurization (FGD) gypsum. Power plants that burn coal produce this when they remove sulfur dioxide from their exhaust gases. This process, also called gypsum recycling, creates large amounts of pure, wet gypsum powder. This FGD gypsum is the main material we see customers wanting to process with a .

Why Should You Briquette Waste Gypsum?

You should briquette waste gypsum for several key reasons that directly impact your bottom line. Storing fine, wet gypsum powder is difficult. It takes up a lot of space, can be blown away by the wind, and is messy to transport. Turning it into solid briquettes solves these problems immediately.

Here are the main benefits for your business:

• Reduce Disposal Costs: Instead of paying landfill fees to get rid of waste gypsum, you are turning it into an asset. This expense becomes a source of income.
• Create a Saleable Product: Gypsum briquettes are in demand. Cement factories use them to control the setting time of concrete. Wallboard manufacturers use them as a raw material.
• Improve Storage and Handling: Briquettes are dense, uniform, and easy to handle. You can stack them, load them with a front-end loader, and transport them in open trucks without loss.
• Lower Transportation Costs: Because briquettes are denser than loose powder, you can fit more weight into each truckload, making each shipment more cost-effective.

What are Applications of Gypsum Briquettes?

The applications for gypsum briquettes depend on how you make them. The two biggest markets are for wallboard and cement production, and they have very different needs. Understanding this is key to your success.

When you make briquettes for wallboard manufacturing, the briquette is just a temporary shape for easy transport. The wallboard plant will grind it back into a fine powder. For this reason, purity is the most important factor. You cannot use chemical binders like lime or cement because they would contaminate the final wallboard. The only “binder” used is water, which allows the gypsum to naturally recrystallize and harden.

For cement production, the rules are different. Gypsum acts as a retarder, controlling how fast the cement sets. The briquettes are added directly into the cement mill. Here, small amounts of other materials are more acceptable. This means you can sometimes use binders like hydrated lime to make the briquettes stronger right after they leave the press. This choice becomes a business decision. You must weigh the cost of the binder against the benefits of faster production and less machine downtime.

What Exactly is a Gypsum Briquetting Machine?

A gypsum briquetting machine, also known as a gypsum briquette press, is a piece of heavy equipment designed for one specific job. It takes fine, often damp gypsum powder and uses extreme pressure to form it into solid, uniform blocks called briquettes. The core of the machine consists of two large, counter-rotating rollers.

These rollers have pockets or molds machined into their surfaces. As the rollers turn towards each other, the gypsum powder is fed between them. The immense pressure forces the powder into the molds, compacting it into a solid shape. The finished briquettes then fall out from the bottom of the machine onto a conveyor belt. It is a simple concept, but making it work reliably with a sticky material like gypsum requires very specific engineering.

Features And Performance of Gypsum Briquetting Machine

Structure Features

Gypsum briquetting machine can press desulfurized gypsum powder, phosphor gypsum and natural gypsum into balls at one time without adding any binder, which has high ball forming rate, high yield, high strength, convenient transportation and storage. It has been put into use in many power plants and cement plants put into operation. 

Performance Advantages

Short process, low failure rate, high-quality alloy steel material (patent) is used in the main roll to greatly improve wear and pressure resistance, so that the machine has a long service life.

Energy conservation and environmental protection, improving the utilization rate of waste and saving cost

The desulfurization gypsum ball press machine does not cause sticking after the formed gypsum is put into the grinding machine, and does not affect the output of the mill.

Compact structure, convenient maintenance, simple operation, and convenient installation.

Working Principle of Gypsum Briquetting Machine

The gypsum press obtains power from the hydraulic circuit, the hydraulic control valve and the accumulator. The material enters the feeder hopper quantitatively through the storage box and then enters the space between the two rollers after the adjustment gate of the hopper is changed. When the forming pressure changes from low to high and reaches the maximum pressure at the double roller connector, the roll material is run in reverse at a constant speed. When passing through the production line, the material is in the state of ball separation, and the molding pressure is rapidly reduced, thus completing the separation process.
