Experimental Study of Effecting Factors for Plant Straw Densification

Abstract:

In this paper, plant straw densification technology has been studied. The corn straw was taken as raw material in the experiment. The influences of raw material moisture content, densification pressure and raw material size to the compact process have been studied. The results show that the 13%~18% moisture content of the corn straw is the best scope in compact process. When the raw materials are densified at a pressure of 60MPa, the products have smooth surface, high density. While the pressure continuously increases, the increase of density is not obvious. The raw material size 10~20mm are suitable for densification.
