The solution to the energy problem hanging over humanity and associated with a fuel shortage is possible through the use of alternative heat sources. One of them is the waste of woodworking industries, agriculture. You can pack shavings, wood chips and sawdust of wood of various species, husks of seeds, buckwheat, rice, straw, stalks and leaves of sunflower, corn in fuel briquettes. This fuel is used for stoves, fireplaces and boilers designed for solid fuels.
Features of briquettes
Depending on the equipment of which company was used for the production of briquettes, the products have a distinctive shape and a common name - "nielsen", "out of place". Their quality directly depends on the quality of the equipment. An expensive press creates high pressure, under which the raw materials are compressed to the limit and the products do not break, they can be made in large sizes - like neat round logs. And vice versa, low-quality loose products come out from under the cheap press, which creates low pressure, turning quickly into debris and crumbs. Outwardly, such briquettes are small - short and thin, they are made in such a shape so as not to fall apart under their own weight.
Pini-kei - briquettes multifaceted in cross section with a hollow hole inside. Their surface is covered with a dark crust. The parameters of these euro-woods of the highest quality are 5x20 cm or 6x25 cm. They are produced by extruder presses: high pressure and temperature are created, which burns the surface of the briquettes, giving them moisture resistance and high strength. The surface of the "pin" is tripled by the hollow hole. Due to this, they burn very beautifully. They are acquired by those who fascinate and enjoy the fire of the fireplace. These fuel briquettes are more expensive than others.
Ruff-bricks of rectangular shape with dimensions of 6.5x9.5x15 cm are made from previously crushed sawdust or scraps, wood chips. The raw materials do not mix binders. The pressure generated by the hydraulic press reliably compacts the wood particles so that the fuel briquettes look monolithic. But "rufs" can be made of wood dust - furniture production waste when grinding plywood. Such wastes contain formaldehyde resins which, when burned, emit dioxin, a dangerous toxic substance. External signs: plywood dust briquettes are white, dense, with a fine-grained structure.
Beautiful problem solving
Making fuel briquettes solves several problems. The first is energy, the second is environmental: the planet is free from waste, the conversion of garbage into life-giving heat. Added to this is another plus. For some entrepreneurs, the production of fuel briquettes from sawdust and other waste energy-containing waste becomes a profitable business. In addition, it is a pleasure to heat a stove or a fireplace with euro-woods: they are light, light up instantly, burn up almost to ashes with a bright fire, there is no soot and soot from them.
