Gentlmen, looking for some help on this.
In our backwater of south Africa we are developing a low smoke fuel for use by people traditionally using firewood as cooking and heating fuel.

Our products comprise a blend of wax and alternative fillers ,(paper,grass,wood chips etc.)

We have been struggling to compact bricks with a hydraulic press but need to find a low-cost continuos feed machine.

The objective of our project is to empower small business in accordance with south Africa's current aim to establish previously disadvantaged Africans in business.

Can you please point us in the right direction.

I am Johannesburg based and have taken on this project in my personal capacity.

I look forward to receiving your comments

regards

Alan Brooks

Alan: You ought to be looking for Compression Molding equipment and off-shoot's of it for a "continuous" feed stream.

However,I just don't see how the economics would be there, as wood, grass, etc. is so plentiful there.
