Learn more about briquetting and the energetic use of wood waste

Future-oriented and environmentally conscious

The economic added value for the entire furniture industry as well as for sawmills and planing mills, joineries and carpentries: In the case of wood, a volume reduction of up to 90 percent is possible – regardless of whether the wood is hard or soft solid wood, chipboard or plywood, multiplex, OSB or MDF as chips, shavings, sawdust or sanding dust.

In times of increasingly scarce raw materials and a rapid increase in the cost of energy and heat supply, the utilization of waste wood is of enormous importance. Waste from the wood processing and woodworking industry is a valuable raw material that can be efficiently used in briquette form as a fuel for energy or heat generation.

5. Better residue handling
6. Minimized disposal costs
7. Reduction of transport and storage costs
8. User-friendly design
9. High maintenance friendliness

Passion for wood waste recycling

Wood chips and sawdust accumulate daily in trade and industrial companies and take up an enormous amount of space during storage and transport. Compact briquettes are not only space-saving, but also easier to transport and, in contrast to loose material, less inflammable. With WEIMA briquetting presses you can produce compact briquettes and use them to generate heating energy, for example in a heating oven.

Did you know?
Two kilograms of wood briquettes can replace a whole liter of heating oil.

Free from additives

By processing, i.e. shredding and drying to water contents of usually less than 10 %, compacted wood residues achieve a high degree of homogeneity through briquetting. Due to the cross-linking of wood fibres and the adhesive effect of the wood's own ingredients (e.g. lignin, wax), WEIMA wood briquettes are dimensionally stable without any added binders.
