What are the benefits of briquetting and compaction/granulation?

Briquetting and compaction/granulation is the process of turning fine particles or residues into briquettes or compact/granules. These approaches are a widely-accepted process for recycling or reclaiming materials for reuse or resale.

Common uses for briquetting and compaction/granulation include:

• Turning steel mill residues into a form that can be easily reintroduced into the steel making process.
• Shaping animal feed, fertilizers or other micronutrients to reduce transportation and handling costs, and increase product efficiency.
• Forming minerals, metal oxides and metal alloys/powders into easy-to-store products.
• Streamlining clean-up of manufacturing waste, including fine dust particles.
