The three “Rs” of waste management are REDUCE (the amount produced), REMOVE (by efficient and effective extraction and handling, and RECYCLE (either back into production line or to generate heat in-house, or by creating a product that can be sold for re-use as a raw material).

TH720/S Duo Briquette Press

Waste with a maximum moisture content of 18% from wood, polystyrene, paper, foam, light alloys or biomass can economically be converted into briquettes with the WEIMA range of briquette presses.

The Benefits of WEIMA Briquette Presses

• Reduction of waste volume by up to 90% with considerable savings on disposal and transport costs.
• Production of high calorific value, quality fuel briquettes.
• Considerable reduction of fine dusts and other wastes through compression of the material, into clean and compact briquettes.
• Reduction in the danger of fires and explosions by briquetting flammable waste the economic solution to costly fire prevention measures.

Whatever aspects are important to you such as volume reduction, disposal, logistics, or the profitable recycling of your waste, WEIMA briquetting presses are the reliable solution which can be tailor-made to suit your specific requirements.

Woodworking Industry
For carpenters, joiners and saw mills, the wood chips are compressed into dense solid briquettes, effectively reducing explosion and fire risk, they are an ideal carbon neutral fuel for heating the workshop or to sell into the domestic market place. Wooden briquettes are clean and easy to handle, with a high calorific value and a residual ash content of less than 0.5%. Paper-processing Industry Paper dust and fibres represent a high explosion and fire risk, by briquetting the residual materials will greatly reduce the risks. The reduction of the materials volume achieved with a briquette maker also facilitates more economical disposal. Briquetting of security shredded paper can take the security of the residual material to a higherlevel.

Plastic processing Industry With mould or model-making, or the waste from the Insulation and Packaging industry, by the briquetting of the plastic shavings, polystyrene or foam reduces the volume of waste by up to 90%, considerably reducing the disposal and transportation costs.

Agricultural Industry Straw, wood shavings or bio-fuels such as Miscanthus (Elephant Grass) can be processed into briquettes, ensuring a clean space-saving environment.

Metal-working Industry Aluminium granulates and other residues from light alloy shavings are pressed into briquettes to form dense material with considerably improved melting properties. This creates excellent marketing opportunities and in addition the coolant present in the shavings is recovered during the processing of the briquette.
