Organic fuel brick

Abstract

A method or process for creating ecologically friendly organically composed fuel bricks whose composition includes, but is not limited to, the following ingredients: 58 to 60 per cent decomposed straw, 38 per cent horse or cow manure, two per cent hay mixture from various blends used as feed, and two per cent straw dust from material pounded on by animals wherein the above ingredients are subjected to a number of processing steps with the end product being a hydraulically compressed fuel brick, block, briquette, blank, pellet, etc., weighing approximately two pounds and dried to a less than 10 per cent moisture content. While the process is primarily applicable to the creation of eco friendly organic fuel bricks, it is conceivably possible that other ingredients than those to be described hereinafter could undergone the discloses process to produce other types of fuel items, both organic and inorganic, with the ingredients comprising wood chips, other kinds of animal manure, and wood chips.

1 . A process for creating an organic fuel brick from raw organic material that includes natural field straw, hay, straw dust and manure, which comprises:
 collecting the natural field straw and placing the natural field straw in a grinder for grinding;   conveying the natural field straw to a cleaning chamber for seed removal;   subjecting the natural field straw to a hammering process;   heating the natural field straw to a temperature of at least 110 degrees;   conveying the natural field straw to a second grinder for mixing and grinder;   adding composted manure to the second grinder for mixing and grinding with the natural field straw;   conveying the mixed and ground natural field straw and manure to a tumble dryer for drying to an amount that is less than ten per cent of the original moisture content of the natural field straw;   transferring the intermixed natural field straw and manure to a collection chamber for collection therein;   conveying the intermixed natural field straw and manure to a hopper feeder; and   transferring the intermixed natural field straw and manure from the hopper feeder to a hydraulic briquette machine for compacting and compressing the intermixed natural field straw and manure thereby creating an organic fuel brick.   
     
     
         2 . The process for creating the organic fuel brick of  claim 1  wherein hay that is used as feed and straw dust is added to and intermixed with the natural field straw and manure. 
     
     
         3 . The process for creating the organic fuel brick of  claim 2  wherein the hydraulic briquette machine subjects the natural field straw, the manure, the hay used as feed, and the straw dust to a pressure of at least 22,000 pounds per square inch. 
     
     
         4 . The process for creating the organic fuel brick of  claim 3  wherein 58 to 60 per cent of the organic fuel brick is composed of natural field straw. 
     
     
         5 . The process for creating the organic fuel brick of  claim 4  wherein 38 per cent of the organic fuel brick is composed of manure. 
     
     
         6 . The process for creating the organic fuel brick of  claim 5  wherein the manure can be derived from horses. 
     
     
         7 . The process for creating the organic fuel brick of  claim 6  wherein the manure can be derived from cows. 
     
     
         8 . The process for creating the organic fuel brick of  claim 6  wherein the manure can be derived from swine 
     
     
         9 . The process for creating the organic fuel brick of  claim 6  wherein the manure can be derived from poultry. 
     
     
         10 . The process for creating the organic fuel brick of  claim 7  wherein 2 per cent of the organic fuel brick is hay that is used as feed. 
     
     
         11 . The process for creating the organic fuel brick of  claim 8  wherein 2 per cent of the organic fuel brick is straw dust. 
     
     
         12 . The process for creating the organic fuel brick of  claim 9  wherein the configuration of the fuel brick can be in the form of cylindrical pellet. 
     
     
         13 . The process for creating the organic fuel brick of  claim 10  wherein the configuration of the fuel brick is at least six inches long, at least two and one half inches wide and at least three and one half inches high.
