Benefits of briquetting:-

  • Reduction of waste volume by up to 90 % – and as a result a considerable saving of disposal, transport and storage costs.
  • Production of high-quality secondary raw materials and fuel briquettes high in heating value.
  • Considerable reduction of fine dust and pollutant burden through compression of shavings and dusty materials into clean, compact briquettes.
  • Reduction in the danger of fires and explosions by briquetting inflammable waste – the economic alternative to costly fire prevention measures.

  • Examples of materials which can be made into briquettes:-

    Waste Materials
    Light Alloy Plastic Wood  Paper  Polystyrene

    There are many types of business which can benefit from briquetting their waste:-

    Woodworking >Wood Briquetting
    For carpenters, joiners, sawing and planing mills, as well as the furniture industry, woodchips compressed into briquettes are an ideal fuel for heating their own workshops.Wooden briquettes are easy and clean to handle. And there is also a reduction in fine dust burdens and the danger of fire and explosions on the premises.

    Plastics processing plants >Plastic Briquetting
    Whether model or mould-making or the insulation and packing industry – the briquetting of plastic shavings, polystyrene or foam reduces the volume of waste considerably. And, consequently, the costs for transport and disposal.

    Metal-working industry >Aluminium / Light Alloy Briquetting
    Aluminium granulate and other residue from light alloy shavings or dust are pressed into briquettes to form a material with considerably improved melting properties. The effect: Excellent marketing chances. In addition, the expensive coolant used in processing is recovered during the compression stage and can be used again in production.

    Paper-processing industry >Paper Briquetting
    Paper fibres and dust represent a huge danger of fire and explosion. For this reason, briquetting residual material is absolutely vital. The reduction of the material volume also makes disposal a lot more economical. And briquetting also plays a decisive role in security for destroying files etc.

    Agricultural operations >Straw / Bio Fuel Briquetting
    Whether straw, wood shavings or bio-fuels such as elephant grass (miscanthus) – briquetting the materials is a guarantee for clean, space-saving and dust-free handling. In addition, there is a great reduction in the danger of fire for agricultural operations.

    Briquettes: Round and Square

    The shape of briquettes and therefore the packaging can be varied. Round section briquettes to be bagged in a bagging carousel can, for example, be produced in one press unit, while square section briquettes are produced on the other press unit for packing in cardboard boxes or wrapping in film sealed by welding. This way, sales units can be produced quickly and flexibly in accordance with specific customer requirements.
