Briquetting
Improved Processing Through Material Agglomeration
For over 90 years, roll press briquetting has been used to compact material fines and dust into uniform, densified briquettes. Widely adopted in industries like mining, metals, minerals, salts, and agriculture, this technology improves material handling, supports process efficiency, and reduces waste—making it a vital tool in modern industrial operations.
Briquetting Industries & Applications
Initially industrialized in the early 1900s, roll press briquetting began in the coal industry to address the challenge of coal fines—small particles that were difficult to store, transport, or use effectively. By compressing these fines into densified briquettes, roll press technology transformed waste into a valuable, manageable product. Since then, briquetting has evolved into a critical process across various industries.
Today, it is widely used in mining, metals, minerals, and agriculture to reduce material waste, enhance handling and storage, and improve overall process efficiency—making roll press briquetting an essential part of modern material processing operations.

Compaction & Granulation
Compaction & Granulation: Producing Profit
Since the 1950s, roll press compaction granulation has been vital for agglomerating fine powders into uniform granules. By improving material handling, storage, and flowability, this process supports industries such as fertilizers, chemicals, salts, and animal feed. It enhances efficiency and product quality, making it a trusted solution in modern material processing.
Compaction Granulation Industries & Applications
Compaction granulation is a widely used and highly effective process in the minerals and agriculture industries, particularly in applications involving fertilizers and salts. This dry granulation method compresses fine powders into dense sheets or flakes, which are then broken into uniform granules. The process significantly reduces material waste, improves product flowability, and enhances handling and storage. Additionally, compaction granulation increases the usability of the final product by achieving consistent particle size and reducing dust. Industries rely on this technology to improve operational efficiency, ensure product quality, and meet demanding application requirements—making it an essential tool in modern material processing systems.
