Abstract :In this study, cutting characteristics of camelina stem, the physical properties of camelina pellets and burn values were investigated in 2013 which was made the summer production in Konya. The cutting experiments were made in humidity values and loading speed values of the camelina stem with five replicates as6.86%, 10.51% and 15.93% (y.b) and 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 ve 1mm s-1, respectively. Also, camelina stems were pelleted in the pellet diameter of 10 mm and the height of 45 mm. The physical properties of the pellets and elemental analyzes were made. In result of the research, the values of cutting force of camelina stem as 8.23-23.99 N, cutting stretching as 0.84-1.82 N mm-2, cutting energy as 0.027-0.082 J and specific cutting energy as 0.380-1.325 mJ mm-2 were found in the experiments. The calorific value of pure camelina pellet as 4406 cal g -1, carbon as 40.61%, hydrogen as 5.86%, sulphur as 0.09%, and ash as 4% were found in the result of elemental analysis.Keywords : Ketencik, Kesme gerilmesi, Spesifik kesme enerjisi, Pelet özellikleri, Elemental analiz
