Abstract

Research was carried out into the impact of the content of wheat flour in a mixture with chopped wheat straw and the humidity of this material on the hardness of the pellet obtained from this raw material. The maximum content of wheat flour was 9.6% of the dry matter of the raw material, and the humidity of the raw material was 11.6, 25.7 and 36.0%. An increase of wheat flour content in the whole range examined considerably increased the pellet hardness, while an increase of humidity content in the raw material had an impact on increased hardness up to 25.7% only.
