Our common biomass fuel is a new type of fuel compressed by a biomass fuel pellet machine. It can replace coal and can be made into pellets and blocks. So what is the difference between the two? Let's follow the biomass pellet machine manufacturer TONY to learn about it!
The difference between biomass pellets and biomass briquette: The density of the two is similar, and there are mainly two differences in the following aspects
The first difference is "volume"
Their biggest difference is volume. The block biomass fuel has a larger volume, while the granular one is relatively much smaller. The diameter of the block is generally between 3-8CM, while the granular one is generally between 0.6-1.5CM.
The second difference "raw materials"
They can all use crop straw, branches, bark, fruit shells, etc. as raw materials. Their volume also affects their requirements for raw materials: the size of the raw materials required for block fuel is 3-8CM, and the moisture control requirement is 15-30%; the size of the raw materials required for pellet fuel is less than 0.5CM, and the moisture requirement is controlled at 12-18%.
In general, it is necessary to proceed from the actual situation, mainly depending on the local situation, the source of raw materials and the matching of biomass boilers.
The main target market of biomass fuel is civilian applications. At present, in terms of the use of biomass fuel in my country, the output of pellets is larger than that of briquettes, which shows that the practicality of pellets has certain advantages. However, with the continuous progress of biomass fuel in terms of burning resistance and technology, and the continuous increase in the rectification of coal-fired boilers. I believe that both biomass pellets and briquettes can play their own role and be more widely used.
The above is the difference and choice between biomass pellets and biomass briquettes introduced by the biomass pellet machine manufacturer TONY. I hope it will be helpful to you. If you need a pellet machine, you can contact us!
