Easy BioPress

Micro Compound-Lever Biomass Briquette Press

Parts List, Notes & Drawings

Notes: 1. The press is designed to accommodate a biomass mold height of 3 with either a 3 or 4 diameter. If you desire a height greater than 3 , increase the length of parts A & B by the increased height of the desired mold, and retain the accurate location for the holes at the top of both Part A and Part B. Also, increase the length of Parts J, K & M appropriately. 2. To minimize swelling of the plunger, Part J, caused by the absorption of moisture, coat the plunger with oil, grease, lard or any similar water repelling substance. 3. To capture waste water you can tilt the press for drainage by either lengthening the lower section of Part B (below the base plate, part D) or use the optional cradle, Part F.
