Photo of the Week: Unideal Briquette Sample

This article was authored by:

Jenny Seim
Technical Writer

Our photo this week is an unideal sample of briquettes. The briquettes are almost all not uniform in shape, many with broken edges. An ideal briquette would be the contrary- cylindrical in shape and smooth around the entire circumference.

The purpose of this photo is to highlight the importance of testing as part of product and/or process development. Through testing items such as feed rate, pressure and more, we can develop the recipe for successful agglomeration based on one’s unique material and processing goals, creating a product that meets our customer’s exact needs.

The FEECO Innovation Center houses a briquetter, in addition to a roll compactor, for pressure agglomeration test work. Our staff uses a historical database, and years of experience, to conduct each briquetting test. Through testing, we help our customers answer the following questions:

  •         Is my material capable of briquetting?
  •         Will binder be necessary to create the briquettes? If so, how much?
  •         How can temperature be used to help improve the briquetting process?
  •         What equipment configuration will produce the briquettes I am looking for?
  •         And more…

If you are interested in learning more about briquetting and testing at FEECO, download our agglomeration handbook. We also welcome you to contact a FEECO expert today!
