Overview
A quicklime briquette machine (also known as a dry powder briquette machine or lime powder briquette machine) is a specialized device that compresses powdered quicklime into spherical pellets under high pressure.
It can press loose quicklime powder, limestone powder, and other materials into high-density balls, effectively solving dust pollution and transport loss issues, while improving material efficiency in metallurgy, chemical, and construction industries.
Why Use a Quicklime Briquette Machine?
- Environmental Protection & Energy Saving: Directly press dry powder without adhesives or water, avoiding safety hazards caused by exothermic reaction of quicklime with water.
- Improved Utilization: Pellet density can reach 1.9–2.2 g/cm³, reducing raw material waste during high-temperature smelting.
- Cost Reduction: Pressed pellets are easy to transport and store, lowering logistics and warehousing costs.

Core Equipment Types & Features
Common quicklime briquetting machines include:
- High-Pressure Briquette Press
- Features: Pressure up to 50–150 MPa, capable of pressing hard materials such as quicklime and metal ore powder into high-strength pellets.
- Applications: Flux pellets in steel plants, coke powder molding in coking plants.
- Dry Powder Briquette Press
- Features: No need to add water or adhesives; directly press dry powder with moisture content < 1%.
- Advantages: Simple process, low energy consumption; suitable for chemical and building materials industries.
- Lime Powder Briquette Press
- Features: Designed for 80–200 mesh fine powder; smooth surface, resistant to breakage.
- Metallurgical Briquette Press
- Features: High temperature and wear resistance; can process steel slag, dust removal ash, enabling resource recycling.
