The research related to the productivity of production of fuel briquettes of the "Pini-Kay" type, due to the modernization of the working part of the press line for the production of fuel briquettes with a capacity of 250 kg / h (LVB - 250) was carried out. It is known that the press used on this line is PSH-250, it is the main working equipment of this line, as it serves to press the briquette under temperature and is the closing link in the whole briquette process. In the presented study, the main criterion of productivity was considered to be the number of manufactured products before the break of the splined auger, because the breakdown forces to stop the equipment and replace it. This in turn reduces the number of manufactured products. The paper states that the modernization was carried out as follows: the slot screw, which is the main working body of the press PSH - 250, made of structural steel (steel 45) by casting, was replaced by a slotted screw made by machining on CNC machines, high-quality structural alloy steel 40HMFA. This steel is used to make splined shafts, connecting rods and rods, and is best suited for making a splined auger. In addition, to increase the structural strength, the workpiece of the auger, was made heat treatment - normalization. The proposed technological solution allowed to increase the productivity of fuel briquettes, by reducing the downtime of equipment for repair and replacement of working parts of the press PSH-250. This in turn reduced the company's financial costs for spare parts and affected the cost of finished products. The obtained results show that the slotted augers proposed by the authors allowed to increase the productivity of fuel briquettes production almost 10 times in comparison with the previous results.
