New equipment for producing wood-coal briquettes has appeared in the Russian market. We are glad to introduce Alexander Sindeev, designer from Eletsk. He manufactured the pilot press for producing briquettes. The original cylindrical briquettes of 130 mm height and 70 mm diameter are comfortable for burning in fireplaces and industrial furnaces. They burn for a long time (up to 7 hours). Therefore they are attractive for use  in shashlik-houses and barbeque. They can be used for the heating of tourist and hunter tents because charcoal burns without the carbon monoxide emission.

A.L. Sindeev now has the site: http://www.alsindeev.narod.ru
and address asindeev@mail.ru

He reports tests for a new line to produce charcoal briquettes with a diameter of 100 mm and with a height of 60 mm.
