> Hello all,
>
>  Just a quick note to announce a new press  which we have developed in collaboration with Rok Oblak <mbdulastoves at wordpress.com>.
>
> We will soon have the plans for it for purchase through our website and Rok and I will both develop the capacity to supply it in bulk for emergency/ disaster releif assistance efforts.
>
> We are also seeking collaborants around the globe for production of it to their respective nations and regions to respond to their local demand. We have identified collaborants for Tanzania and South africa to date...which leaves a pretty wide open list at this point.
> At about 30 seconds per 130 gram 550 cc briquette, per one operator, its probably amongst the more productive presses out there but it is also made of metal and requires welding and some attention to tolerances...
>
> But before you deluge Rok and I with orders,  there are about 20 other press options to choose from by now-- according to one's own needs, the kind of blends one is intent upon using, and the  resources and skills for fabricating and maintaining the  press, so let the best option prevail.
>
> Now that I have almost thoroughly unsold it, enjoy,

richard.  this looks great.  congratulations on getting through the
many details of design.  and great t hear you have options for
distributed manufacturing of it.

on your other comment, have you or any other locals here put together
an index of current briquetting and pelleting machinery for relatively
low cost use?  it would be great to have an index of both manual and
driven briquetting currently available machinery.

also, nice slide in the background!
