Pelletizing is a process that transforms fine materials, such as iron ore or biomass, into small, round pellets. This is typically done by compressing the material under high pressure, which helps to improve its handling and transportation. The resulting pellets are uniform in size and shape, making them easier to use in various applications, such as in steel production or as animal feed. The pelletizing process often involves mixing the fine material with a binder, which helps the particles stick together. After forming the pellets, they are usually dried or heated to enhance their strength and durability. This method is widely used in industries to optimize resource use and reduce waste.
