The present paper is related to a pressing process research of raw materials with
different density in order to investigate impact of biomass density on a formation of monolithic
structure and the briquette’s strength. Another focus of the study is an influence of raw materials
particles’ size on agglomeration process and quality of final product. Different biomass materials
like two varieties of miscanthus, industrial hemp and apple wood were selected for experimental
purposes of this research. Mechanical durability which represents one the main indicator of
briquettes’ mechanical quality (strength) was determined. The research was conducted using
hydraulic piston briquetting press. For assessment of briquetting efficiency during the whole
process energy consumption was measured. One of the most important factors that can affect
briquetting process is the temperature of pressing chamber which was registered as well. The
main goal of the research was practical study of possibilities for increasing production efficiency
and quality of briquettes on hydraulic piston briquetting press with respect to optimization of
particles’ size of raw materials and use of raw materials the most appropriate density.
