Pellet

A pellet is a small, dense, cylindrical piece of material made by compressing substances like wood, plastic, or metal powders. These uniform-sized units are often used for fuel, where wood pellets are burned to generate heat, or in industrial processes requiring precise material handling. The manufacturing process involves grinding raw materials into fine particles, then compressing or extruding them into compact cylinders. Pellets are valued for their consistency, efficient combustion or processing, and ease of transportation and storage. They serve roles in energy production, manufacturing, and recycling, making them versatile and practical in various applications.
