Can KOMAREK machines be used to make biofuel briquettes from wood (fibers)?
While KOMAREK machines are used to make briquettes from many materials across industries including chemical, mineral, micronutrients, agricultural, metal, ceramic and recycling, they are not designed to handle biomass materials like raw wood fibers.
What is the difference between briquetting with binders and without binders?
Roll briquette machines use moderate-to-high pressure to turn fine powders and granules into briquettes. However, with certain materials, binders – additives that help retain a briquette shape – need to be added to help the briquettes retain their shape.
What is the typical lead-time for manufacturing a new briquetting or compaction/granulation machine?
KOMAREK machines are custom-designed for each application and material handling needs.
Machine delivery is typically three to nine months, depending on the amount of time needed during each of the following phases:
Do you customize machines to specific applications and requirements?
Yes! Our experience and knowledge gained throughout our history enables us to offer the best solution to fit each material and process application. They can be customized to meet a specific feed input location, materials used for feed parts and roll tires and footprint of space available in your facility.
How should I determine the right size machine for my application?

Our engineering and service team draws on decades of experience to help you select the best materials and machine design for your specific application — whether you need assistance optimizing your current process, incorporating a new process step, or designing a new process from scratch.
What are the benefits of cantilevered roll tires?
KOMAREK pioneered cantilevered removable rolls to prevent overloading and streamline replacement time. Cantilevered roll tire design allows for easy roll replacement, which decreases downtime and maintenance costs.
Which machines are compatible with segmented rolls?
KOMAREK DH400, DH450 and DH500 machines are compatible with segmented and solid roll tires.
What are the benefits of segmented roll tires?
Segmented rolls are made in a series of sections or segments, which are mechanically clamped to the shafts.
Because they’re easier to replace when worn, segmented rolls are recommended for briquetting hot or abrasive materials and are made from materials suitable for such applications.
What types of materials can be converted into briquettes or compacts/granules?
KOMAREK offers a wide range of briquetting, compacting and granulating solutions capable of handling and processing lab-size samples of 50 pounds up to production-machines of 60 tons per hour for materials such as:
What are the benefits of briquetting and compaction/granulation?
Briquetting and compaction/granulation is the process of turning fine particles or residues into briquettes or compact/granules. These approaches are a widely-accepted process for recycling or reclaiming materials for reuse or resale.
Common uses for briquetting and compaction/granulation include:
