Transforming Wood Residues into High-Value Briquettes: Duffield Timber's Sustainable Solution with C.F. Nielsen
Duffield Timber, a family-owned business now in its third generation, specializes in producing high-quality hardwoods and clearest grade softwoods. With a combination of machined hardwoods and sawed boards, Duffield Timber generates around 20 tons of wood residues every week. To address both environmental challenges and rising energy costs, Duffield Timber invested in a briquetting press from C.F. Nielsen, transforming wood residues and forest residue waste into high-demand briquettes used as fuel.
Addressing Duffield Timber’s Wood Residue Management
Duffield Timber identified two key reasons for investing in the briquetting press. First, they saw untapped potential in their sawdust and wood by-products. Second, they faced a substantial increase in energy costs—over four times higher than before. By implementing C.F. Nielsen’s press, Duffield Timber has successfully converted low-value by-products into high-value fuel, ideal for both residential and industrial markets.
High-Quality Briquettes from Forest Residues
Duffield Timber machines a large volume of hardwood, resulting in dense briquettes with a high calorific value. This allows them to offer a premium product that not only reduces wood residues but also meets the growing demand for eco-friendly fuel in northern England. These briquettes, made from forest residues and wood waste, provide a sustainable and renewable energy source.
C.F. Nielsen’s Support Throughout the Process
Duffield Timber has been very satisfied with C.F. Nielsen and UK agent, David Harper from Steelviper. The support provided—from the design and layout of the factory to post-installation customer care—has been crucial to the success of the project. Duffield Timber has transformed their wood residues into a profitable, high-demand product, while contributing to sustainability efforts.
By converting wood residues into valuable fuel, Duffield Timber has significantly reduced waste and created a new revenue stream. Discover how C.F. Nielsen can help your business turn wood residues into high-quality briquettes, driving both profitability and environmental benefits.
