Eco Press

Abstract

The invention is a metal hand press that compresses certain biomass materials into a briquette that can be used as a heat, fuel, or fire source. The process starts by soaking biomass materials with water, preferably shredded paper waste, sawdust, or coffee grounds. The soaked material is then placed into the biomass press and compacted using a lever and press plate. Water drains out the baseplate perforations and flows down the channel to the ground or a collection chamber. The press handle is raised and the removable basket comes out of the press, where the compacted briquette can be retrieved and set aside to dry for later use.
