ABSTRACT
This paper presents the results of tests of the densification process of a mixture of plant-type post-harvest tobacco waste and a mixture of post-harvest tobacco waste and a binder in the form of potato pulp. Initial densification tests were carried out on a modernized SS-3 stand, with a working system of the “open densification chamber-densifying piston” type, employing an open chamber with a diameter of 8 mm. During the tests, susceptibility to densification of shredded tobacco waste and a mixture of shredded tobacco waste with potato pulp were assessed, by determining the maximum densifying pressures for the material and the density of the obtained pellets. On the basis of the performed tests, it was concluded that the tested tobacco waste is characterized by a high susceptibility to densification, as indicated by the obtained low values of maximum densifying pressures during its densification. Adding potato pulp to tobacco waste had a positive impact on the mixture's susceptibility to densification and an increase in the quality of pellets. The tested pellets from tobacco waste are a material of high energy qualities.
