A briquette is defined as the result of high compression.
Briquette is a 100% natural product since wood biomass is used as a raw material and lignin is used as an adhesive, which is one of the main components of wood.
It is solid and compact and one of its main characteristics is the low moisture content (10% -12%).
It also has minimal ash residues (1%) which can be used as fertilizer in the garden.
One of its most ecological characteristics is the almost absence of smoke during its combustion.
All the above constitute the briquette a completely ecological fuel friendly to all consumers.
The spread of briquettes is mainly due to its economic character.They burn at a very slow rate and burn twice as long as wood.
Compared to wood, briquettes have a much higher calorific value, as 1 kg of briquettes render about 2 kg of wood and more.
Wood briquettes can be used in conventional and energy fireplaces, barbecues, wood stoves, stoves, boilers, bakery wood ovens etc. They also prevail in storage and transportation.
Advantages of briquette.
- It is ecological
Briquettes contribute little to the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions as the amounts of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere during biomass combustion are again bound to the plants themselves to regenerate the biomass.
- Provides security
With the continuous use of a briquette we completely avoid the case of ignition of the chimney.
- Easily stored
They are distributed packaged in packages of 10 kg, do not soil the house and can be beautifully stored in any small storage space even near by the fireplace.
- Economically advantageous
Briquettes have 60% -70% more thermal power than wood compared to 1kg.
