The Difference between Briquetting System and Pelletizing System

As there are many processes by which a material can be agglomerated, people are often overwhelmed at where to start with their material. This post will focus on the differences between the briquetting system and the pelletizing system for the users reference.

The main disadvantage of densification is the relatively high cost of input energy, which is needed for the production of pellets and briquettes. This will also increase the price of the output product. The output product is in the form of briquettes or pellets. Calorific value, water content and chemical composition are approximately same for both, but the density and strength is usually higher for pellets. The main difference is in size. Pellets are 4-5 times longer than their diameter (ranging between about 6-12 mm), while briquettes have a diameter of 80-90 mm, or dimensions 150 x 70 x 60 mm in the case of prisms. Briquettes and pellets provide a simple use in the fully automatic operation from home use to large scale applications.

Briquettes are primarily used instead of firewood for manually charged domestic stoves. Pellets can be used in automatically charged stoves and boilers due to their good flowability, uniform water content, grain size and chemical composition. Consequently, pellet stoves and boilers for domestic applications offer a comfortable operation similar to oil-fired systems. In Sweden pellets are primarily used to substitute coal in large-scale power plants. For this purpose, sawdust is only pelletized in order to reduce transport and storage cost, and the pellets are milled before combustion.

After knowing the difference between the briquetting system and the pelletizing system, you can choose a briquette machine or pellet mill according to your own materials and cost to start your own business.
