WEIMA TH 1200: Streamlining Woodworking Waste Management

WEIMA will debut the TH 1200, a highly versatile briquette press designed to meet industrial demands, at the IWF Atlanta trade show in August, 2024. Its modular design easily integrates into existing wood shops or production setups. Capable of processing materials such as wood shavings, dust, and biomass, the TH 1200 ensures high throughput rates and superior briquette quality. The machine is also available in a Duo version, which doubles throughput with minimal additional space required.

WEIMA will have this machine on display in booth #B7149 at IWF Atlanta.

Key Benefits of the TH 1200

The WEIMA TH 1200 briquette press includes enhanced dust control for increased safety and cleanliness in work environments, efficient space usage through the compression of wood shavings, and the potential for energy production. The briquettes are formed using only hydraulic pressure and without any added adhesives or binders, making them safe for energy use. Briquetting woodworking byproduct like dust and shavings protects employees and keeps production facilities cleaner and safer.

Advanced Features for Improved Operation

The TH 1200 features a large material hopper, available in two sizes (1,400 x 1,400 mm or 2,000 x 2,000 mm). It comes equipped with a rotating agitator and discharge auger to increase surge capacity. Standard hydraulic oil cooling allows for multi-shift, unattended operation, and the touchscreen PLC control system display ensures optimal component coordination. The large hydraulic oil tank prolongs operation by keeping the oil cooler for extended periods, enhancing throughput and overall machine robustness

Key Reasons to add a briquette press

Safety: Enhanced dust control for increased safety
Space: save on wasted space through the compression of wood shavings
Fuel: Briquettes can be used as another source of fuel
Additional Income: high-quality briquettes produced with the TH 1200 could be sold as an alternative fuel source
Easy Integration: The TH 1200's modular design simplifies integration into existing woodworking shops or production lines
Sustainability: recycling wood waste by giving it another purpose

Wood waste management is where it all began over four decades ago. WEIMA will have a variety of size reduction machinery, including the TH 1200, on display in booth #B7149 at IWF Atlanta.
