ABSTRACT

The process of forming briquettes requires a tool that was able to compress the material, which consists of particles of charcoal powder and the adhesive used. This research was the initial stage of designing a briquette compression device with a material compression mechanism with manual hydraulic pressure. This research has succeeded in designing a briquette molding device that could mold a mixture of young coconut coat waste charcoal powder with starch adhesive by 10%. The resulting briquettes have an average height of 1.54 cm and a diameter of 3.21 cm. After drying the charcoal briquettes for two days, the moisture content was 7.79%. The results of the characteristic test of young coconut coat charcoal briquettes had the following properties: vapor content 26.74%, ash content 2.76%, bound carbon content 68.66 %, density 0.62 g/cm3, firmness 32.44 kg/cm3, and calorific value 6.21 cal/g. Charcoal briquettes from young coconut coat waste meet quality standards as community fuel based on Indonesian and Japanese Standards.
