Product Description
The Ratchet Press is a high pressure, compact, easily assembled, transported operated and maintained briquette press. Using common tools and skills, the Ratchet Press can work for an individual or full time commercial briquette production facility. Though it is is compact and portable, it can deliver nearly the same force as the larger Mini Bryant compound lever wood press sold through the Legacy Foundation website.
The Ratchet Press is adaptable to varying work environments and is able to rest or stand on quasi- tripod-like-feet or with no feet at all – tied or bolted onto any vertical surface,
The Ratchet Press has evolved as a briquette making tool for the following markets;
• the more urban /peri-urban areas where storage and ease of use are important
• where many briquettes have to be produced quickly and when the machine has to be working intensively
• the more remote areas which do not have easy transport
• aid or refugee organizations which require immediate production start up in difficult working conditions
We would not see The Ratchet Press’s niche in the poorer villages where wood resources are available for press making.
The Ratchet Press User’s Manual includes:
• Basic information about the Ratchet Press
• Detailed directions for the Ratchet Press operation
• Information on how to make briquettes using the Ratchet Press
• The use and re-use of water in the Ratchet Press briquette making process
• Production output and work organization
• Incorporation of a washer for increased briquette outputs
