Evaluation of selected physical and mechanical properties of briquettes produced from cones of three coniferous tree species

Original language description

The aim of the research was to determine the production viability and mechanical durability of briquettes made of shredded cones of three species: Scots pine, Norway spruce and European larch The agglomeration was carried out under constant operating conditions (at 20% of material moisture content, briquette diameter of 50 mm, at throughput of 50 kg h-1) in an industrial briquetting press. The particle size distribution of the shredded material was determined. The produced briquettes were evaluated for their density, mechanical durability and compressive strength. At moisture content of approximately 20%, the highest briquette density (1078 kg m-3), durability (97,87%) and compressive strength (9,69 MPa) were obtained for spruce briquettes. Pine cone briquettes showed the lowest density (938 kg m-3) and compressive strength (2,81 MPa), while larch cone briquettes had the lowest durability (87,58%). The produced briquettes were of high quality in terms of physical and mechanical characteristics. The n
