Fiberboard or briquette

The aparition of these boardings is due to the need for recycling wood of lower quality. This wood is destroyed into shaving, then compressed and glued, for acquiring the shape and thickness wanted. These boards are economic and we can point put many disadvantages: they cannot bear much weight, they bend and can be affected by humidity. In order to develop the enough hardness in the briquet, it is essential that residues be used with a moisture content around a 6 percent. The art of briquetting is not that old, and there are several techniques for its drying and creation e.g. the charcoal briquets, in which the briquets are carbonized after forming. The machines used for this purpose use the pressure in order to reduce the bulk and provide hardness for resistance to handling.
