In many industries, especially in wood processing, large quantities of wood waste are produced every day. This waste not only takes up valuable storage space, but often also means considerable costs for disposal and transportation. The solution: WEIMA briquetting presses. They transform loose wood waste such as sawdust, wood shavings or wood chips into high-quality, compact wood briquettes that offer a wide range of benefits.
With compression by WEIMA briquetting presses, companies can not only efficiently reduce their wood waste, but also use it profitably. The compact wood briquettes have a high energy density, which makes them ideal for heat generation or sales. The use of these machines helps to improve profitability by reducing storage and transportation costs while at the same time enabling sustainable utilization of the wood waste.
WEIMA wood briquettes offer a significantly higher calorific value than loose wood chips. Compacting with WEIMA briquetting presses reduces the space required and makes handling easier. Wood briquettes also produce less dust.This increases safety when heating and minimizes the risk of dust explosions in industry. WEIMA briquetting presses are therefore the ideal choice for companies that focus on cleanliness and safety.
The briquetting of wood offers economic advantages for the entire furniture industry, sawmills, planing mills, joineries and carpentry workshops. A volume reduction of up to 90 % is possible - regardless of whether it is hard or soft solid wood, chipboard, plywood, multiplex, OSB or MDF. This applies to wood chips, shavings, sawdust or sanding dust. This significantly reduces storage and transportation costs and offers maximum efficiency for industrial companies of all sizes.
By reducing the volume of wood waste, WEIMA wood briquettes require significantly less storage space. This is particularly advantageous for companies that only have limited storage capacity available. The compact wood briquettes, produced with WEIMA briquetting presses, can be stacked to save space and are easier to transport than loose wood chips or wood waste. This means Greater efficiency in logistics and lower storage costs – a real advantage for companies of all sizes.
WEIMA briquetting presses not only contribute to efficiency, but also to safety during operation. The reduced dust generation during the production of Wood briquettes reduce the risk of explosions and minimize pollution in production areas. This ensures cleaner working environments and less cleaning effort. At the same time, the stable wood briquettes offer even combustion without flying sparks, making them a safe and clean heating material.

The use of self-produced wood briquettes with WEIMA briquette presses offers companies the opportunity to heat independently of rising energy prices and energy crises. Wood briquettes have a high calorific value and ensure sustainable heat generation based on the company’s own residual materials.This not only creates autonomy, but also significantly reduces heating costs. At the same time, the complete utilization of waste wood makes a valuable contribution to sustainability – without the use of additives or adhesives.
WEIMA wood briquettes are a Pure natural product made without additives or adhesives. Through processing, such as shredding and drying to a water content of usually less than 10%, compacted wood residues achieve a high degree of homogeneity. The cross-linking of the wood fibers and the adhesive effect of the natural wood components such as lignin and wax make the briquettes dimensionally stable – without the use of binding agents. These sustainable briquettes offer an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional fuels and are made from 100% natural raw materials.
Thanks to their high compression, WEIMA wood briquettes offer a significantly higher calorific value than loose wood waste. Whether solid wood, chipboard, plywood, OSB or MDF - the briquettes burn longer and more efficiently. As a result, companies not only save on heating costs, but also rely on a sustainable energy source that offers maximum efficiency.
With WEIMA briquetting presses, companies can do more than just recycle their wood waste. They create an additional source of income. WEIMA wood briquettes are in great demand as a heating material due to their high density and stability. This means that companies can not only use their wood briquettes themselves, but also sell them successfully.
