Every year vine pruning results in a huge amount of grape vine cuttings like branches and twigs. In the past most of the prunings were just burned in the field, but we have together with vineyards developed a technology to make the very best out of these resources by introducing our briquetting technology.
The prunings are collected and baled under dry conditions. The material is shredded on a special shredding line and later briquetted on our standard equipment.
In the U.K. there is a large market for producing and selling bedding for horses. Most of the bedding is made from shavings from softwood. The shavings have to be clean from dust, so the dust is removed during the processing of the shavings.
One of our customers in the U.K. has decided to utilize the left over dust from the production of shavings to produce briquettes for consumers.
