Clarke Paper / Cardboard Briquette Log Brick Maker

Product Information

For a tedious task like creating hand-made logs for a fire, I prefer the easier option, with our quick and easy to use briquette press.

In a few months you'll find a use for that trash can full of branches you trimmed off of the trunk before chopping it into pieces.Paper log briquette makers compress waste paper into rectangular paper ‘logs’ measuring about 21cm long x 9cm wide x 6cm deep which will burn as well as wood for up to an hour or more in a fire-grate or wood-burning stove. Once you have completed the pressing process, raise the leaver arm and place the top pressure plate above and out of the way.

i can get hold of loads of oak shavings and sawdust, how about squishing that with some flour and water (to bind it together) to act like glue, you need to be making 20 bricks at a time and need to be about the size of a housebrick.Here is how we make compressed paper briquettes, quickly and easily, to use in a wood-burning stove. There are different types of filling that can be used in our briquette maker, newspaper and cardboard are the most common fillings, but you can add straw, sawdust, wood chippings, charcoal and even horse manure! At the time I did not have a 20 ton jack, but I suspect that would not prevent the briquette from becoming friable and breaking up. We have sold the Multimate briquette maker around the world, our biggest market is with the UK followed by Germany.

The paper needs to be put through a shredder or torn up by hand, soaked in water for a few hours to soften the fibres, then mashed into a soft pulp. There are 4 25mm legs secured to the press with a m10 locking bolt which assists in making the press level on uneven ground.tossed into a burning fire these work great, so far all of my mixtures have not been able to sustain a flame without assistance, they would rather just slowly smoulder if they are left on their own. Part 1 will focus on the construction of the briquettes and why I chose the filler media that I did. Fine sawdust is n suitable for pet bedding I was told, although planer shvings shouldn't pose a problem.

The only downside was the mess and the time involved the time it took to make a greenhouse full of paper briquettes I could have logged several tonnes of firewood.I remember making those paper briquettes as a child, when the whole family were pressed into service, tearing up the bundles of newspapers and adding to large barrels of water, what a mess!
