In the process of making briquettes, there are still obstacles, namely, the printing process still uses traditional methods, and the existing briquette printing equipment is also not equipped with a hydraulic system and pressure gauge, so it requires more printing time. It cannot know how much pressure is applied during printing. A briquette printing machine equipped with a hydraulic system and pressure gauge is needed to simplify the briquette printing process and save energy. The aim of designing this briquette printing machine is to produce a press machine design with a hydraulic system equipped with a pressure gauge. The design method used in this research is the Shigley-Mitchell method. This briquette press has a length of 350 mm, a width of 450 mm, and a height of 840 mm. The mold cylinder has 16 mold cylinders. In one printing cylinder, it can produce briquettes weighing 52 grams with a height of 80 mm, so in one printing, this tool, with a printing time of 6.5 minutes, can produce 0.832 kg briquettes. The capacity of this briquette press per hour is 148 briquettes/hour.
