pelletized
Formed into balls
Pelletized describes material that has been compressed or formed into small, rounded pellets.
The process makes loose or powdery substances easier to handle, store, and transport.
Pelletized fertilizer spreads more evenly than powder, and pelletized biomass burns more efficiently than loose wood chips.
The term appears most often in industrial, agricultural, and manufacturing contexts where bulk materials need standardized form.
