Abstract - Municipal waste is not in suitable form for
systems which are techno economically viable, sustainable
gasification process or storage of solid waste and therefore it has to dried, shredded or disintegrated and compacted into suitable compact form – briquette. As the municipal waste is full of inorganic materials and therefore briquettes are not compact. It is very important to determine the technological parameters and influences which can influence the final quality of briquettes. In this contribution the main differences between briquettes produced on mechanical press and hydraulic press are described. The description includes different aspects like manufacturing of briquette making and design of briquette making machine.
