The drying is carried out by Flash Dryers, also referred to as Turbo Dryers. We have developed innovative flash drying technology to dry raw material up to 60% moisture content.
The densification is carried out by a briquetting process through briquette press or pelletizing process through pellet mill. Here are the main differences between Pellet Press and Briquette Press.

Briquetting is more efficient for low moisture, less fibrous biomass and pelletizing is more suited for high moisture, more fibrous material.
