Benefits of a sawdust briquette press

Instead of dumping sawdust in a landfill, you can convert it into carbon-neutral wood briquettes, which can be used as clean, burnable fuel for industrial use or sold for home heating and outdoor recreational use.

How are sawdust briquettes made?

Sawdust briquettes are made of two things: sawdust and pressure. That’s it. There are no chemicals or additives, making them a natural product.

Step 1

Wood materials (sawdust, shaving, or chips) are moved to a pre-charging chamber by a screw conveyor.

Step 2

A pre-charger presses the material into the main pressing chamber.

Step 3

The main pressing ram compresses the material into the mold and forms the briquette into its final shape and density.

Step 4

Wood briquettes are pushed out of the machine one at a time.

When wood waste stops draining your business, the results are immediate.
