This article examines the technology for producing fuel briquettes from biomass (of local origin) for rural populations. The production process involves several stages. All stages of production are covered: biomass raw materials, their collection and preparation for processing, briquette formation, etc. The cooling and drying of fuel briquettes after their formation in impact presses is examined in detail. This stage is carried out on a dedicated multi-section conveyor and is tailored to the fuel briquette's specific parameters (moisture and temperature). The conveyor's special design ensures optimal conditions, despite its minimal geometric dimensions. A numerical calculation of the drive is presented based on the optimal selection of transmission mechanisms. The use of gear mechanisms is impractical due to the high drive ratio, so a wave gear mechanism is used.

Keywords: biomass, fuel briquette, manufacturing technology, special conveyor, drying and cooling of briquettes, wave gear mechanism.
