How it's made! COFFEE GROUNDS into PELLET - some tests in the factory 

Hi! Thank you for the comment! yeah, doing these resarches I also found out that! That's good, that something is recycled. Also here in Italy they do recover a lot of material during coffee processing. This happens also in hazelnut industry (Nutella, as you may know ahaha)

In economic way is that industry is profitable. If I made it in Egypt ☺️

Hi! Thank you for the comment! Glad that you liked the video

hi! thank you very much for the comment, glad you liked the video!

Hi! Thank you for the comment! Well, unfortunately I don't have that kind of material, so I cannot make these kind of tests. That's really sad..maybe they did this to keep material in your region, given the energetic problems we have around Europe now.

Hi! Thank you for the comment! Well, in this specific case we left the coffee grounds in the factory for several months, so ther dryied out almost completely. In production conditions I would use an industrial dryier (as you can see in the pellet video explanation, in my channel). it should be ok a 5%-15% moiusture content in the final product, the one before milling phase. About combustion residuals, I'm sorry but we haven't still done any combustion tests. They will be showed in the next video. I won't expect that much residuals, oil and greases in the coffee grounds will burn correctly in the stove. Maybe we can find something in home-fireplaces and pellet stoves, where combustion is not at that high temperature, such as those of big (high kW) wood chip and pellet stove. In these machines I'm quite sure the combustion will be very good. Hope this reply was ok for you! Bye!

@@profilo_is_back I live in western Canada and have been looking at burning sawmill offcuts, Mountain Pine Beetle damage, recycled engine oil, coal fines/granules. I can add coffee grounds to the list of ingredients to investigate in the production of fuel cake and pellets.

@@enkhyy That's good, everything is celar. Yeah, I'll try for sure combustiont tests with this material. however, I won't compare wood and coffee grounds (organic materials) to recycled engine oil or coal, fossil fuels. Speaking about tests, that's ok. But I won't for sure burn recycled engine oil at home!

Ciao! Grazie per il commento! Attualmente abbiamo finito la fornitura. Non so di dove tu sia, noi emilia Romagna. Vendiamo il pellet solo a casa, non abbiamo né negozio online, né rivenditori in italia purtroppo. È una piccola produzione, che vendiamo tutta in zona

Hi! Thank you for the comment! We still haven't done any burning test, neither any comparison. Incredibly, we do produce wood pellet in our factory, but we haven't a pellet stove on which we can do some tests. In the next weeks I'll try to repair our old and small pellet stove, so that we can arrange some combustion test, as well as some comparison with other wood types.

hi! Thank you for the reply! I'm sorry...you are perfectly right. When preparing the speech I totally got wrong about percentages. We made the eprcentage correctly (80-20), but I indicated them wrong in the speech. I'm really sorry for the error.

No. Your original 5k of coffee grounds was correct. Not 4k. Students were advised to not skip math class for a good reason.

Hi! thank you for the comment. What is micro-cristalline? can you be more specific? I'm really interseted in that...maybe it is good to reach good efficiency in production and combustion.

from an italian machine manufacturer. And general components such as bearings and grease, they come from geenral suppliers.

Hi! Thank you for the comment! We still haven't done any burning test, neither any comparison. Incredibly, we do produce wood pellet in our factory, but we haven't a pellet stove on which we can do some tests. i don't know what's the smell when it burns, but for sure I can tell you that when we were doing coffee pellet, the coffee aroma and flavour was strongly present in the air!

@@profilo_is_back could you make 100% coffee ground pellets? I understand it is not good for burning. If it works, could it be good for something like cat litter?

​@@nickj2508 Hi! Thank you for the comment! Well, I don't think ti qill be so easy. Maybe with an higher compression ring die you can use much higher coffee percentages, however I think a bit of wood hsould be still necessary. About combustion, we will do some tests in the next week. I don't expet any big troubles. About cat litter, this may be a very good intuition! I've never tought about that. Stay tuned for the video about combustion test! Bye!

Plx share the burning results as compaire to other pellets... Also share is it work if we add coffee in to hard wood as compaire to chestnut... Actually people wants those raw materials that easily access

​@@nickj2508crazy fact about cats and dogs. They cannot breakdown caffeine. It is toxic to them. I'm unsure how specific the absorption would be on the pads of their feet. But I would certainly keep the coffee and anything else known for caffeine content away from them.

@@profilo_is_back ok, thanks!!!!

@@leonardodavinson You're wlecome! thank you for having watched the video!

Yes you mix with flour and hot water

@@carpamihai9126 oh! Thanks a lot!

Hi! Thank you for the comment! Well, we have tried but it was too softf. No consistency. The material wasn't able to stay compacted all toghether. Only coffee ground is too 'oily', 'greasy'. You need like a 'structural' component in the whole mixture. We found out that these percentages where the correct to get the best product out of our machine.

​@@profilo_is_back If you extracted some of the oils out of the grinds would they bind better?

Hi! YOu should definitely talk me about that!
