Hot Briquetting

Hot briquetting takes place at feed material temperatures between 250 and 900°C.

Typical application examples are:

Briquetting of sponge iron from direct reduction to
produce HBI (hot briquetted iron), an internationally
traded replacement for scrap for the steel industry.

Briquetting of steel mill waste materials for
environmentally sound recycling.

Due to many years of development and experience KÖPPERN is the world-wide leading manufacturer of hot briquetting machinery and systems for these applications.

The volume of briquettes produced in hot briquetting typically is between 20 and 150 ccm.

Aside from the briquetter itself KÖPPERN´s capabilities for hot briquetting equipment also include for example:

string separator,
screen,
bucket elevator,
cooling systems for the product.

KÖPPERN´s range of services in this segment is supplemented by specially developed comprehensive testing programs and equipment needed for the design of machines and systems.
