IMPROVEMENT INTRODUCED IN APPARATUS FOR BRIQUETTING DRY CRUSHED CANE AND OTHER BAGASSES constituted by reception, on upper and lower deflector plates of feed hopper, of dry crushed cane and other bagasses, broken up by rotating shaft bearing long and short rods for capture by collector blades of distributor screw driven by geared electric motor, the same being forced into guide tubes having endless screws of progressively smaller pitch driven by geared electric motor for the purpose of precompaction of said dry crushed cane and other bagasses in precompaction chamber, being compressed by compactor pistons within cylindrical tube having a slightly conical base forming briquette, said pistons being driven through the action of crankshaft supported by block driven by large electric motor, the finished briquettes passing through guide arms being ruptured by curved rods, the development whereof permitting the obtainment of an apparatus having simple operation and compact size permitting conversion of dry crushed cane and other bagasses into briquettes of differentiated sizes, called “Bripell”, suitable for use in industrial furnaces and boilers and in residential fireplaces.
