The Bushblok Production Process Following an
environmental assessment and economic assessment, encroaching bush is
harvested either by hand or mechanically. The harvested bush is dried in
the sun and then fed into a mechanical chipper before being transported
to the processing plant where the chips are milled to size. These
smaller chips are dried and then passed through an extrusion press.
Under heat and pressure the chips bond and are extruded as compacted
Bushblok product, cut to size, bundled, wrapped and labeled, ready for
distribution. |

CCF BUSH produces wood chips for direct sale as a raw material and as
raw material for our own extrusion plant. CCF BUSH produces wood fuel
briquettes (fuel logs) by an extrusion process. Wood extrusion is the
process of joining biomass together by the use of pressure and heat
which causes the natural lignin, cellulose and hemicelluloses in the
product to form a natural binder, there is no additive involved. |

Our briquette product is trademarked as Bushblok. Bushblok is useful for
cooking fires, braii, home heating, and industrial heat applications. As
a result of the extrusion process, it has a caloric value approaching
coal, some 4870 Kcal. It has an after burn ash content of 0.35-0.5% and
is classified as a Smokeless Fuel. |
