peletas

Peletas, also known as pellets, are small, compressed units of material. They are typically cylindrical in shape and are produced by extruding a material through a die. The size and composition of pellets can vary widely depending on their intended use.

One common application of pellets is in animal feed. For livestock and pets, pellets offer a balanced and consistent nutritional intake, making them easier to digest and consume. They are also used as a fuel source, particularly biomass pellets made from wood, agricultural waste, or other organic materials. These pellets are burned in specialized stoves or boilers to generate heat.

In manufacturing, pellets serve as raw materials for various processes. For example, plastic pellets are melted and molded into a wide range of products. Metal pellets are used in powder metallurgy for creating components with specific properties. The pelletization process itself often involves grinding raw materials, adding binders if necessary, and then compressing them under high pressure. This method of forming materials into pellets facilitates handling, transportation, and processing in subsequent industrial applications.
