How to Start a Coal Briquette Manufacturing Plant – Complete Step-by-Step Guide

Coal briquettes are widely used for industrial boilers, metallurgy fuel, domestic heating and commercial combustion. Converting waste coal dust and slack coal into regular briquettes improves resource utilization and creates stable profit for investors. If you plan to set up a coal briquette manufacturing plant, you need systematic planning from market research to equipment configuration. Below is a practical startup guide for new plant owners.

Step 1 – Conduct Local Market & Demand Research

Before purchasing any machinery, complete market investigation to avoid blind investment.

Confirm local demand: Find buyers including industrial factories, fuel distributors, heating companies and export traders.
Research competitors: Learn their briquette quality, selling price, shape and supply capacity.
Define your target product: Decide to produce industrial coal briquettes or civil heating coal balls.
Check logistics cost: Ensure convenient transport channels for raw coal powder and finished briquettes.

Step 2 – Secure Stable Raw Material Supply

The core raw material for coal briquette production is coal fines, slack coal, coke powder and lignite powder.

Stable supply source directly controls your production cost.
Test raw material moisture, particle size and ash content in advance.
Prepare suitable binders such as bentonite, starch or clay according to coal characteristics.

Note: The ideal moisture of coal powder before briquetting should be controlled within 8%-12% to get high-strength finished briquettes.

Step 3 – Choose Factory Site & Plan Workshop Layout

Select a plant location following these principles:

Close to raw material source or sales market to cut transport expense.
Sufficient flat space for raw material storage, production line, finished goods warehouse.
Stable 3-phase power supply matching machine requirements.
Meet local environmental and noise regulations.

For a small-scale 1-5 ton/h coal briquette line, the minimum workshop area is around 300㎡. Medium & large production lines require 600–1200㎡. We can provide professional plant layout drawing once you confirm hourly output.

Step 4 – Select Suitable Coal Briquetting Equipment

Machine selection is the most critical investment link. The complete coal briquette production line normally includes:

Coal Crusher: Crush bulk coal into fine powder
Powder Mixer: Mix coal powder with binder and water evenly
रोलर कोल ब्रिकेटिंग मशीन: Core forming equipment for coal briquettes
Belt Conveyor: Automatic material transportation between machines
Rotary Dryer (Optional): Reduce moisture of fresh briquettes to avoid cracking

Investment Tip:

If you only need small-volume production, you can buy a single roller coal briquetting machine first. For long-term mass production, a full automatic production line will greatly lower labor cost.

Step 5 – Understand Standard Coal Briquette Production Process

The mature production workflow:

Raw Coal Powder → Crushing → Mixing → Briquetting → Drying → Finished Coal Briquettes

Crushing: Break large coal lumps into qualified fine powder
Mixing: Blend coal dust with binder and water uniformly
Briquetting: Roller briquetting machine compresses powder into solid pillow-shaped or round coal briquettes
Drying: Remove extra moisture, improve briquette hardness and storage performance

Step 6 – Calculate Investment Budget & Operation Cost

Your total investment mainly contains these parts:

✅ Equipment purchase (main cost)

✅ Factory rent or construction, machine foundation

✅ Raw material initial stock

✅ Labor cost, electricity and daily operation expense

✅ Packaging and transportation cost

Small-scale coal briquette plant usually needs moderate startup capital. Compared with many manufacturing projects, the briquette industry features short production cycle and relatively fast return on investment when raw material and sales channels are stable.

Step 7 – Complete License & Environmental Formalities

Different countries and regions have different industrial regulations. You need to consult local authorities for:

Industrial business registration
Environmental protection permit (dust collection system may be required)
Power consumption approval

If you plan to export finished coal briquettes, prepare relevant export certification in advance.

Step 8 – Quality Control & Sales Channel Building

Stable briquette quality decides long-term business success. Key quality indicators you need to monitor:

Briquette density and compression strength
Burning time, ash content and smoke level
Low breakage rate during transportation

Build sales channels via local fuel wholesalers, industrial factory direct cooperation, and cross-border trade for overseas buyers.

Common Mistakes New Investors Should Avoid

Buying mismatched machines without confirming raw material parameters
Ignoring raw material moisture requirement, leading to fragile briquettes
Saving budget on auxiliary equipment, resulting in discontinuous production
No clear sales plan before building the plant
Unreasonable workshop layout causing low production efficiency
