Briquetting Machines

Briquetting machines for sale that turn your sawdust, shavings and wood chips into solid briquettes you can burn or sell, instead of paying to have waste taken away. We deliver, install and set up the machine, link it to your extraction where needed, and support it afterwards, with finance available. Tell us how much waste you produce each week and we’ll size the right machine.

How Does a Briquette Machine Work?

Waste is loaded into a hopper, often straight from your dust extractor. A hydraulic ram presses it into a die at high pressure, which packs it into dense blocks without any glue or binder. The briquettes come out ready to stack, bag or store.

Why Use a Briquetting Machine?

Briquettes take up a fraction of the space of loose sawdust, so you need fewer waste collections. You can burn them in a wood burner or biomass boiler, or sell them on. They also make the workshop safer. Bags and piles of sawdust are a fire risk, while briquettes are cleaner and easier to store.

What Can You Briquette?

Most dry wood waste works well, including sawdust and shavings from hardwood and softwood. Paper and cardboard can also be processed. Material that’s too wet or too coarse won’t compress properly, so tell us what your machines produce and we’ll check it suits.

Choosing a Briquetting Machine

Size the machine to how much waste you produce in a day, with some room to grow, and decide whether you’ll fill it by hand or feed it straight from your extraction. Check the floor space and power supply you have.

If you’re not sure what size you need, tell us roughly how much waste you produce each week and we’ll recommend a machine.
