Briquetting machines made to measure – individual and sustainable

Our briquette presses compact materials such as wood, plastic, paper and cellulose, metal, and biomass (among others) into consistent and valuable briquettes without the use of a binding agent. Depending on the throughput and the intended use of the briquettes, the machines can be configured to produce briquettes of a specified size and shape. All models boast robust construction and require minimal maintenance, and are able to be easily integrated into any production line.
