Briquetting Cardboard and Corrugated Paper

Corrugated paper, commonly referred to as corrugated cardboard, is a packaging material comprising three layers: two flat outer sheets and a wavy inner layer known as fluting. This design offers both strength and cushioning, making it lightweight yet effective for safeguarding items during shipping. Its versatile nature makes it a popular choice for packaging boxes. However, its most significant advantage lies in its recyclability, allowing for sustainable material reuse.

Briquetting shredded cardboard and cardboard dust is easily achieved without the use of binders or glues with a WEIMA briquette press.

How does it work?

The durability of corrugated paper stems from its distinctive composition, featuring two flat layers known as liners bonded to a fluted layer in between. Corrugated paper is highly common in modern packaging and shipping industries. It is widely used across various sectors for packaging goods and materials due to its lightweight, durable, and versatile nature. Some common applications of corrugated paper include shipping boxes, E-commerce packaging, food packaging, industrial packaging, and more!

Shredded cardboard is easily briquetted for simplified handling.

Shred First, Compress later!

Shredding corrugated material is essential for effective separation and contaminant removal, preparing it for further processing. However, traditional paper shredding often generates dust particles, posing both cleanliness and health hazards in the workplace. To mitigate these concerns, a dust collection system becomes necessary, ensuring a clean and safe environment for employees.

Integrating a WEIMA briquette press into the dust collection setup proves invaluable. The briquette press transforms the shredded material into compact briquettes, effectively consolidating the mess into a manageable form.
