WM BriquettePress BP200 Wood Waste Briquetting Press

A briquetting press that compresses dust and shavings into dense fuel logs, turning a disposal cost into either heating fuel or a saleable product. Waste comes in from the extraction system and leaves as briquettes at roughly one tenth the volume, which for most shops means dumpster pickups drop from weekly to monthly.

No binder is used. The press works purely on pressure, and the lignin already in the timber does the bonding, so the briquettes are clean enough to burn in a domestic stove or sell to customers who do.
