thread404-243000: Mechanical briquette press

Hello everyone,

I found this thread and I'm very interested in understanding the mechanics of briquetting via piston.  At least I'd like to know how the poster resolved his problem.

This is all because I'm considering a machine of my own design/build that would hopefully be more affordable than the ones that are commercially available.  My approach includes a material pre-heater and die heater.  I'm just not confident on the shape and length of the die, as well as the clamping jaws optimum configuration.  My aim is 30,000 psi - more if I can find the right hydraulic cylinders as this would allow greater briquette diameter for same material.  I understand that different materials require different temeperatures, moisture levels, and pressures to hold, but thought that was a decent first target.

Any insight into die and clamp would be greatly appreciated

This is a little embarrassing.  I'm new to this forum, and just unable to figure out how to send a PM and couldn't find it in a help section
