Analysis of the Impact of the Consolidated Material on the Morphology of Briquettes Produced in a Roller Press

This article presents the results of saddle-shaped briquettes produced in a roller press from 15 fine-grained materials subjected to long-term seasoning. Experiments were carried out to determine the capacity of agglomerates, their surface roughness, compressive strength, excessive material, and superficial defects. Although a molding surface with molding cavities with the same shape was used for briquetting, significantly different results were obtained due to the different types of materials used for briquetting. Briquettes made from metallic and inorganic materials were characterized by a strength that increased with their density, which was not observed in carbonaceous materials. The tests are innovative and should be considered as pilot tests.
