The process of manufacturing Logs Direct Peat Briquettes has a number of stages.
Peat which has been milled on the surface of the bog, is air dried and stored. It is then brought by narrow gauge railway across the bogs to the factory.
Different grades of peat are carefully blended in the factory to ensure raw material consistency. It is then ground to a fine particle size and dried to 10% moisture content using heat from large industrial boilers at this stage, the peat is a fine, powdery material.
The peat is extruded through a twin-stamp briquette press. The compression is sufficient to bind the remaining water with the peat, so forming the briquette.
When the Logs Direct Peat Briquettes have cooled they are baled and automatically baled and palletised.
