Bulk density of the charge can be raised by increasing the inhomogeneity of the constituents in terms of size consist, by way of selective crushing, or by partial briquetting or pelletising. Maximum density can be achieved in a charge composed of 65-68% briquettes or coarse fraction material, the increase in density being a direct function of the coarseness of the material. UKhIN suggest top size limits for prime caking coal as 10-12 mm and 6mm for gas caking coal. Any schemes proposed are necessarily limited by crushing facilities available at the plant.
