This invention is directed to an improvement in die-heads and molds which are used in briquetting machines or presses for molding cylindrical briquettes from fibrous particles such as: wood particles, sawdust, wood shavings, paper, wood chips, and other fibrous materials. The die-head and the die for the briquette make it possible to achieve a briquette having a more uniform cross-sectional density and also a briquette of higher density than could be realized with prior briquetting machinery.
