<p>In the manufacture of fodder briquettes, especially for ruminants, the green crops are artificially dried to a moisture content of 15-22% and, while at a temperature of 45 DEG -65 DEG C. (110 DEG -150 DEG F.), are fed to a reciprocating briquette press for being compressed to a specific weight of 0.7-0.9 grams per cm.3. The briquette rod produced is cooled while passing through a guide pipe somewhat larger in diameter than the rod which is displaced through the guide pipe against a resistance to counteract longitudinal expansion of the briquette rod.</p> |
