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.
