PREPARATION OF SAWDUST AND CHIPS OF CUT BRANCHES OF FRUIT TREES FOR PELLETIZING

Abstract

Тhe paper considers the preparation of sawdust and chips of
cut branches of fruit trees for pelletizing by drying, with the further use of
pellets as fuel for solid fuel boilers. A calculation method and a paradigm for
determining the drying parameters are proposed; a scheme for preparing
sawdust and chips for pelletizing by drying is proposed. Sawdust and chips
of cut branches of fruit trees are prepared for drying, they are transferred to
a drying drum, where they are dried to the required moisture content.
Therefore, it is important to correctly calculate the amount of water removed
during the drying process. The proposed method for calculating the drying
process and the scheme for preparing sawdust and chips of cut branches of
fruit trees for pelletizing by drying can be used in the design and selection of
equipment.
