Dust as a time bomb? Safe and dust-free briquetting with WEIMA!

Paper waste, especially dust from filters and cutting processes, poses an invisible health and explosion risk in many companies. But with WEIMA briquetting presses, this fine dust is safely converted into compact briquettes. In addition to the dust from production processes, the processing of paper often produces fine paper dust, which poses additional risks. Briquetting helps to drastically reduce this dust and ensures a clean, safe working environment. At the same time, the waste is compacted into a usable and valuable resource for heat generation. In this way, you not only minimize the risk, but also create valuable raw materials!
