High speed pressing and its attendant time advantages are largely governed by the quality of the coal, the pressure requirement, isothermal residence before pressing and the required end strength. Increasing the pressing pressure not only raises end strength as a result of comprehensive caking action but also extends the range of strength within the capacity of a charge of given compilation; it also reduces the pressing time without detracting from end quality. Isothermal residence is critical as it determines the forming behaviour of the coal and the coke quality variation limits. In a typical case, extension of residence from 20 to 60 seconds enabled a gas coal to be formed satisfactorily in a 0.15s press routine at the moderate pressure of 1-2 MPa, giving a double strength product.
