These briquette presses are currently particularly popular.
Biomass briquetting and pressing of biogenic waste materials
Use the energy that’s hiding within biomass! Straw, hay, tobacco, nut shells, peat, miscanthus, shells from legumes, cotton wool, and flax are valuable raw materials that can be used for the production of energy.

Economic and environmentally friendly biomass briquetting
When a loose material is pressed into a stackable briquette, the product is much easier to transport and resell. The calorific value of the highly compressed biomass briquettes is much higher than with loose mass, the burning properties are ideal. Biomass briquettes can be further used as a low-cost alternative for the production of feed/feedstock for the agricultural industry.

Safe and clean
The dust generated during the processing of biomass is not only cumbersome and contaminates the workplace, but it also poses a considerable health risk for your employees or even a risk of explosion.
This danger must be mitigated proactively – and biomass briquetting is the answer. The dust can be fed to the briquette press via an extraction system and then used or sold in briquette form for energetic use.
Briquettes are easily stackable
Biomass as fuel
Renewable raw materials are regionally and sustainably available as bioenergy sources and are have considerable production and utilization potential.
Biomass briquetting improves the combustion properties compared to the loose material. In briquette form, biogenic raw materials can be ideally used for combustion in a heating stove. Briquettes burn at a high temperature due to their dense nature.
By using your own energy, you can become independent and generate sustainable heat with a clear conscience.

Did you know?
For dimensionally-stable briquettes made of biomass, the moisture content of the material should be at or below 15 percent.
Waste material in top form thanks to WEIMA briquette presses
WEIMA offers you a briquette press individually adapted to your desired throughput capacity and application. This solution could consist of a single machine or a complete system for the energetic use of miscanthus, straw or other biomass materials. The throughput capacity of WEIMA briquetting presses for biomass is between 40 kg/h and 400 kg/h. With a WEIMA briquette press, you can press your biogenic waste materials into dimensionally stable briquettes without the addition of binding agents.
