ABSTRACT
This paper presents a universal prototype testing device for determining the kinetic durability of products of pressure agglomeration (pellets and briquettes). The device presented in the paper is equipped with replaceable test chambers enabling to combine Pfost's and Holmen's methods for the determination of kinetic durability of pellets, and a method for the determination of kinetic durability of briquettes. Equipping the device with an air blower and perforated chamber walls increases aggressiveness and allows an outlet for crushed particles from the chamber. The presented device will allow to perform tests that would make it possible to determine relationships between density and strength parameters of briquettes and pellets.
