My new type of briquette press

[@HisnameisRich]

You should be proud of all your creations, anything that you make yourself that works gives more satisfaction than anything you can buy at a store

[@Mladen365]

Thank you,i am proud of anything i have made,big greetings from Croatia and thnx for watching

[@haroldwestrich3312]

VERY interesting, I have never seen one like that! I always enjoy your videos. Thank you for teaching thousands of people that they can build stuff at home instead of buying.

[@Mladen365]

Thank you for watching,big greeting from Croatia

Another ingenious press ! Thanks for posting.

[@Mladen365]

thank you,greetings

[@olddanb1]

Excellent. I love the way it works in both directions. And the ejector is perfect.

[@baconsoda]

That's very elegant and very effective. Best Wishes, Brendan.

[@Mladen365]

Thank you

[@paulhulsman2826]

Best press I have seen on KZbin. Compliments

almost 400 videos of great stuff. Some real out of the box thinking ! Genius for sure ! keep it up.

[@oliverfranke3884]

Big compliment! This is the best and most efficient device I have seen so far because the pellets can be easily made in a few easy steps. It is well thought out and very professionally built.

[@rob5tube]

I can hear sparrows in the background, it is nice to be able to work on projects with nature all around working on their projects too. Very similar to my environment. Great design BTW.

[@Mladen365]

Thank you

[@jkyner8640]

That is cool. I've watched other of your videos, truly genius.

[@Mladen365]

Thank you,i got more projects to show

[@DonDufresne]

Great work! Well designed and fabricated.

hello from Ireland....this is also very good..keep inventing

[@georgeross5841]

Excellent quality blocks , quite a lot of heavy engineering but great product!! well done !!

[@kevinwamaya6899]

This is so clever. very different from what every other person is doing. I'm so in love with this. Greetings from Kenya.

[@Mladen365]

Yes it is different and cool to see,all that old design are become boring so i want to make new way to press briquett and it works perfect,greeting

[@mountfields]

Very well thought out, designed and made. Prob' the most effective Briquette make I've seen...... (you must be thinking/designing in your sleep!!!) greeting from Somerset England...

I love your design. Great idea.

[@Mladen365]

Thank you,greeting

[@petercallaghan9851]

You've really inspired me. Great job, good video......big thanks.

[@Mladen365]

Greetings from Croatia

[@2handsfull]

I think that is really nice. After watching, I have an idea you might make a video on using your machine. You might try to make four plates so that when you fill the machine up, take the four plates and push them in the middle of the mix, and then press them. When you finish pressing, just take the plates out and you will have eight briquettes instead of four. You might try adding eight plates and make sixteen small briquettes. Let me know if you like my idea.

[@Mladen365]

I have think about that,as i see resault will be the same,if i made 4 big briquettes or 8 smaller,but it is nice idea,it can be made as you say but i need that size for round stove that i make,i will put 6 this briquettes and start a fire in middle than i will test it how long will it burn and how long it take to boil water,greeting

[@2handsfull]

I would like to see how well your briquettes burn. I think you have the best idea in making them. You are a great inventor. Your machine is crazy, I like it! Greetings from Texas.

[@bosdad7]

This seems to be your best yet ! great job.

[@Mladen365]

it is different from any other press on youtube and it make a nice briquette,just have to make a stove for that briquettes,greeting

[@pallashouse]

Excellent. You are a very clever person. Thank you.

[@wjj4832]

Your presses are the best.

[@Mladen365]

Yes they are,thank you,wish you Merry Christmas

[@haujeancontactee6872]

that's an awesome brick press, great job!

[@Priboj71]

bravo majstore, svaka cast

[@Mladen365]

Hvala,trudimo se,lijep pozdrav

[@davids381]

very good David S

[@Mladen365]

Thank you

[@Ben-tz9sm]

You could add another set of removing plates. Then you could press both ways. Not having to completely go back to the start without pressing another load back to where you started. Less wasted movement. I really like this press, very different from what everyone else is doing.

[@lagunafishing]

Yes, a continuous cycle! He could also keep the lid on and press upwards some ways before removing the lid to remove a bit more water.

[@tonyciarleglio8651]

Thank you! keep pressing!

[@tonyciarleglio8651]

I think that you are very creative and innovative, excellent work, simple , efficient and effective! what are the briquettes made of I'd like to know and try your recipe.

[@Mladen365]

Briquettes are made of shredded newspaper,cardboard and water,mixed all together and pressed,you can use styrofoam moulds to make them or make a press to make briquettes,greeting from Croatia

[@HTTAPBIH]

Like it! Good design! Very good explanation and demo.

[@smacurface]

This is like the 10th time I've watched this video. Brilliant mind you have there 'ol chap. What will you ever come up with next ?......I wonder

[@Mladen365]

Thank you,greeting

[@gonzozr]

svaka čast odličan model

[@Mladen365]

Hvala i lijep pozdrav

[@MrDeadInMyPocket]

Very clever.

[@Mladen365]

I am making a stove for that briquettes,greetings from Croatia

[@john-michaelrobinson3994]

Very clever design

[@THX..1138]

I like the design, it's very innovative. One improvement though would be to rigidly mount the machine to the ground and replace the screw with a long lever. Then you could leverage your body weight to press the bricks. Which would dramatically speedup cycle time.

[@Mladen365]

first thnx for watching,yes it should be screwed to ground,this press is very different from others,it press on side not up or down,if i had a hidraulic cilinder i use that but for now it works with this,greetings

[@ganjaman420100]

Nicely done my friend.I like it.

[@ProyectosOlaf]

Hi ! Thanks for your work and it is a very good idea and wen you use in the screw a iron circle give you more tork. Congratulation

[@50AHenry]

This is good. Thank you !!!

[@Mladen365]

Thnx

[@carlton503]

Very cool. Good job bro.

[@damianbridlington55]

Great Job, very creative.

[@Mladen365]

Thank you,greeting from Croatia

[@fredleuthauser1225]

It sure works !

[@Mladen365]

It works fine it is different way to press briquettes from any other press in the world,this briquettes i can put in circle and start fire in the middle,this is great for camping fire,greetings

[@amiralbilladama]

Great design but I have few question for you 1. Do you have a central heating system? 2. Can you make a video on how they burn please. Again great idea man.

[@Mladen365]

Just go to my videos,you have everything there,from my heating system,to burning briquettes,i got central heating system,greetings from Croatia

[@MrDandan170]

damn good design and welding

[@Mladen365]

Thank you,greeting

[@Angus_McGyver]

Interesting design. I like it. a couple of questions I wonder about. All your presses use a G clamp or something similar to close. Why do you not make a simple latch which would be faster to use? On this particular press, couldn't you use a half nut arrangement on the pressure screw, so it could be quickly released and pulled back? This too would make faster cycle times.

[@Mladen365]

Thank you for advice,for me time is not important,if i make briquettes for sale than the time will be important but for now i make briquettes just for my needs so i make them slowly,on avrage year i make them around 15000 and use them in winter,greetings from sunny Croatia

[@baconsoda]

That is really good.

[@snowflakemelter1172]

very clever design, have you calculated the pressure involved .

[@Mladen365]

no i did not calculate,after i press them,briquettes are well formed ,if i had hidraulic piston it will be much easy to press,but it also works with this,greetings from Croatia

[@snowflakemelter1172]

Mladen 365 it looks like you are using a lever, the longer it is the more force can be applied, until you reach the limit of the strength of the steel work. I would think the denser the briquette the longer it will burn.

[@excessethane454]

Very unique and simple briquette press, congrats.salute from Kenya.help with sketch for that machine.

[@HAPPYCAMPER20101]

👍fantastic👍

[@uludt]

Very nice. And now you have to mount a motor at the screw and then it is perfect 👍.

[@Mladen365]

Yes,than it will go much easy,greeting

[@adriannyasia]

Well done!!

[@Mladen365]

Thank you,greeting

[@SplatpackDK]

Greetings from Denmark. You have made yet another cool bricket press. I were thinking witch one is your favorite bicket press?, wich one makes the bricket with less wather to dry out (must be important or ?) , or best volume, or best heating time ??? I hope you understand my question... witch one is the best in your opinion, and why ? You could make a video about that (If you want), if the answer is longer than my question :-) Brst regards from a "fan"

[@Mladen365]

Thank you,my favorite press is 25 briquette press,it is fast and best,single briquette press can remove most of water and dry faster but it is slow,i don't care about moisture in briquette after press,i have best briquette dryer so i can make lot's of briquettes,my choice is 25 briquette press,6000-7000 briquettes i use over winter,my production is over 15000 per year,greetings

[@jmscnny]

Very nice.

[@Mladen365]

Thank you

[@ТатьянаДовгалева-ю2п]

Очень необычное решение!!!

[@Mladen365]

Стоит попробовать и другие версии, кроме стандартных, все получилось нормально.

[@criasufrn2420]

Parabéns! Adorei o design de sua máquina!

[@Mladen365]

Thank you,greeting from Croatia

[@galiahmet]

Thanks for the video. I put voice. Write a composition (proportion) for briquettes solution.

[@Mladen365]

If you want to see how i make briquette mixture than chech one of my videos,i explain how to do it very easy,greeting

[@nicehess]

This is quite impressive! Do you still use your 25 briquette press than you posted 5 or 6 years ago? I watched lots of videos and made a few hundred briquettes. I used them in a wood burning stove when I went to a cabin. They worked great.

[@Mladen365]

I am still using that press,i make 12-15000 briquettes each year,it is more simple now i made fast drying briquette box for 500 briquettes,now i can dry briquettes if outside temperature drop below zero in winter,greeting

[@nicehess]

I'm very impressed. I saw the video of your briquette dryer.

[@JoshKilen]

nice press

[@Mladen365]

Thank you Josh

[@JoshKilen]

have you check out my channel?

[@Mladen365]

That steam engine is very cool,i like it,greetings,will look for rest of your videos,by

[@tactiti0n]

Very nice system, only thing I don't like about it is the fact there's no disconnect for the screw thread, so there's a fair amount of wasted time unscrewing.

[@freddohobbiescrafts8036]

wow.. very smart way.

[@purask]

i wonder, how long you could make those briquettes, if you could make those like 30-40 centimeters long then they are like splitted logs and you can easyly stack them same way

[@Mladen365]

If you make briquette larger than 30 cm it will bend and fall appart,it is better this way,the end resault will be the same,or you make more small briquettes or one big one,greeting

[@purask]

that could be a possipility i guess it depends little about fraction on wood you use if theres larger pieces then it could be stronger but still you would need more pressure to sqeeze it thogether :)

[@random-zr6jx]

Can these be burned in a retort and be tuned into a charcoal briquette

[@howtocreatesculptures6713]

Greetings my friend, your very clever and did a very nice job of creating a one of a kind press, thank you for sharing your press you do nice work. Can you tell me what mixture you make your briquettes out of ? i am just learning about wood stoves and i want to build this same press because i think it is very genius and very effective and i have lots of scrap metal to work with as well as 2 welders so i think i can make this. thank you so much and i hope you stay warm and best wishes to you and your family !!! from cold area in USA : )...

[@Mladen365]

From sawdust,cardboard and newspaper,greeting from Croatia

[@MichaelSmith-nk4yq]

Ery good idea 👍🏾👍🏾

[@washingtonreds5724]

How much would you charge to create a Press like that and Ship it to the States?

[@Mladen365]

i don`t sell it,it is easy to build one,shipping charges will be very high if i send to you,it is heavy

[@mrbluenun]

Hello my friend, If you have not registered this design you should and it is so unique no one is likely to design ‘by accident!’

[@Mladen365]

It is not registered,in Croatia it is hard to find somebody to invest in something like this,and to patent this is very expensive

[@rushcummins8257]

very nice

[@Mladen365]

Thnx

[@kateejustinmills8352]

If it made somewhat larger bricks, say 18" long, it would be the best design ever. Very clever design!

[@Mladen365]

I already made 4 large briquette press,you can see that press in my videos,if you want larger than this i made it will not work,briquett will bend and fall appart,i belive it is maximum lenght

[@paulfay357]

Nice machine! It works very well...good fit and finish. Do you do anything with the water that comes out of the bottom when you press the material? Greetings from Missouri USA.

[@Mladen365]

I always reuse that water for next round of new briquettes

[@jcreswick]

Genius!

[@tsongofficialvlog3540]

Nice and good job sir

[@kunalgolechha9516]

What is the raw material made up of? How do you crush it?

[@Mladen365]

It is sawdust from my friend,he have big sawmill so i buy it very cheap

[@washingtonreds5724]

How do you create the Paste/Liquid that you're compressing into a brick?

[@Mladen365]

news paper,cardboard and sawdust mixed in water

[@donktheclown]

Genius.

[@scpatel100]

Nice.

[@kaminmassa5348]

hi this is really cool. good way to get it done without the lifter. 1 - can i make longer briquette press? maybe 40 cm? 2 - now that you have both presses do you prefer this round one or the one that make 25 briquettes? greetings

[@Mladen365]

Yes you can make briquettes of that size but there is problem,it is hard to remove it and very long time to dry,the longer the briquette is it will bend in middle and can break,this round press briquettes is for my new stove that i making,i will show that in my video,the 25 briquette press is the best press ever build,lot's of my friends have try to build but they fail to press or they use only chambers in the middle,everything depends on how will you make your mixture,i recomend this briquette,for me drying is not problem i also build 500-600 briquette dryer,you can also watch my video of splitting the log on 4 pieces with single stroke first made in world,for anything you want to know i will be glad to answer you,greeting

[@bsimpson6204]

It’s clever and you have built it really well but it’s unnecessarily complicated. All you need is a long lever underneath to push up and squeeze water out of the mixture. Then unclip the lid, lift it up then push up again to eject the briquettes. Simple.

[@skeets6060]

How long do these briquette burn?

[@Mladen365]

Around 30 min.,and my biggest briquette can burn around 1 hour

[@skeets6060]

Thank you my friend, I assume this is in an open stove or fire place and not in an air tight stove,,is that right?

[@Mladen365]

Yes,i use them in winter in my house stove,at summer i use them to heat water in my pool,you can see all that in my channel,i make per year around 10-15000 briquettes,i have lot of savdust,greeting

[@cartarzan6961]

bravo!

[@Mladen365]

Hvala,sada radim peć za te brikete,pozdrav

[@random-zr6jx]

This is a really good design i would like to get one made. Do you have plans i can give to someone to make for me. Thanks

[@Garone1998]

how many time did they need to be totaly dry?

[@Mladen365]

All depends of what size is briquett,now on winter it is hard to dry them,i make most of briquettes at summer and dry them on sun,but i have solution for winter drying,i made 500 briquettes drying box,it take 4 to 5 days to dry that briquettes,check my video,at summer they dry faster,greeting

[@markmark2012]

My Grandmother was from Croatia and came thru Elis Iland, so greetings from USA! You've done a great job.Question, how long does it take for.you're briquets to dry?

[@Mladen365]

Greeting to you from Croatia,it is all about size of briquett,small briquett will dry very fast,10x10 will take 3 days on sun to dry,that large one need more time to dry,best part is when i put them in my stove and burn them,temperature increase very fast

[@coachgeo]

Greetings to you as well. Thank you for your time to video this project. How long does it take to dry the briquets?

[@Mladen365]

all depends on size of briquett,this one need 3-4 day to dry in my briquette dryer
