“…It also provided wood basic density, bulk density and bulk-solid volume conversion factor data (Kent et al 2011). The net calorific value (NCV) for Sitka spruce was derived from European standards for biofuels (Alakangas 2011). Average volume and weight capacity of the trucks were collected in field studies carried out previously by the authors in Ireland.…”

“…The volume of the pellet was calculated from its length and diameter as cylinder volume. The bulk density was determined according to EN15103 standard [7] in which the cylindrical vessel was filled up with pellets that drop from 30 cm in height until the maximum level of pellets in the vessel was reached. Then, the vessel was tapped 3 times to settle the pellets in the vessel and the excess pellets from the edges of the vessel were removed by a ruler.…”

Fuel pellets made from biomass is considered as a solid fuel that is also an alternative fuel which can substitute for the current fuels and can be considered as a fuel that has sustainable production. This research is the study of the production of fuel pellets from Teak sawdust blends with Cajuput leaves at five proportions by weight of Teak sawdust 100%, Cajuput leaves 100%, Teak sawdust 75% +Cajuput leaves 25%, Teak sawdust 50% +Cajuput leaves 50%, Teak sawdust 25% +Cajuput leaves 75% . The pellets were produced by a grinding and pelleting machine at three different speeds of 200, 250, and 300 rpm. After that, the quality of fuel pellets was evaluated by the physical properties as pellet dimensions, particles and bulk density, as well as moisture content and durability. The results show that blending proportion of Teak sawdust 75% and Cajuput leaves 25% provided the appropriate fuel pellet properties.

“…European countries have standards (ŌNORM 7135, SS 18 71 20 and DIN 5173 [4,5] concerned with properties of wood pellets and briquettes. Demand of mentioned biofuel density is > 1000 kg m -3 in standards.…”

The main task of this investigation is evaluation of patented (LV 14604 B) biomass briquetting mechanism. Theoretical relationship between necessary drive force and resistance force during pressing in die was determined. Briquettes from grinded common reed (Phragmites Australis) or common reed-peat mixture were produced with designed experimental briquetting press. Density of common reed briquettes depending on the size of particles was stated. Density of briquettes obtained during compacting was from 826.3±16.4 to 934.5±35.1 kg m-3. The minimum of density 826.3±16.4 kg m-3 had briquettes with particles from 6 mm grinding screen, but maximum density 934.5±35.1 kg m-3 had briquettes, when particles from 1.5 mm grinding screen had been used. Compositions of reed particles with peat allow obtaining briquettes density > 1000 kg m-3 if peat proportion in mixture is 30%. Results of theoretical and experimental investigation show that the designed pressing mechanism can be recommended for mobile biomass briquetter design.
