Karakteristik Mekanik Briket Biocoal yang Dihasilkan dari Mesin Pembriket Type Screw
Abstract
The objective of this research is to find biocoal mechanis characteristics that produce form screw extruder. The research is begin with heating value analysis of agricultural wastes and coal. Then the next step are sizing and mixing that wastes and coal, the manufactured alternative fuel then take to the UTM to find the mechanic characteristics. The result of this research give the biocoal briquette which produced from this activities have 4418.25 cal/gram heating value and have the peak load 820 N in compressive strength, the results also show that the biocoal briquette that produced have a good impact resistance which only 15 % mass losses during 10 times drop.
