Waste Wood Industrial Briquetting

Turn your waste wood and other industrial residues into valuable industrial fuel with a briquette press machine. At C.F. Nielsen, we provide unique solutions to companies in Europe, the Americas, Africa, and every other continent around the globe.

We can provide you with a sustainable and cost-effective solution for almost any type of industrially generated waste. Our briquette press machines come with a lot of different benefits, both environmentally as well as economically:

  1. Save transportation costs by recycling and reusing your waste wood and other residues instead of paying for the disposal of it.
  2. Contribute to a circular economy with a briquette press machine that can turn your waste into valuable industrial fuel for industrial boilers in your factory.
  3. Or sell your briquettes to other companies that operate with industrial boilers to gain a profit from your waste wood and industrial residues.

Our briquette press machines come with the latest technology and can be adapted to meet your company’s individual needs.

What are wood waste fines?

Wood waste fines are the small particles generated during the shredding, crushing and screening of waste wood. They are typically produced when processing demolition wood, pallets, construction timber, MDF, chipboard and other recycled wood materials.

Although fines contain valuable energy, their small particle size makes them difficult to handle, transport and utilize directly in many industrial applications. As a result, they are often regarded as a low-value by-product that increases handling and disposal costs.

Turn wood waste fines into valuable fuel with briquetting

Mechanical briquetting offers an efficient way to upgrade wood waste fines into a valuable industrial fuel. By compressing the fines into dense, durable briquettes, waste processors can reduce storage and transport costs while creating a product suitable for industrial boilers.

Compared to loose fines, briquettes are easier to handle, have a significantly higher bulk density and provide a more consistent fuel quality. Their uniform size and shape also simplify storage, transportation and automated feeding into combustion systems.

Briquetting can also help reduce disposal costs by diverting fines from landfill or other low-value waste streams. Instead of paying to dispose of the material, companies can convert it into a marketable fuel product with commercial value.

Compared to pelletizing, mechanical briquetting is particularly well suited for handling heterogeneous and lower-quality wood waste materials, including demolition wood, MDF and mixed waste wood fines. The process requires no binders, making it a robust and cost-effective solution for many waste wood processors.

By transforming wood waste fines into high-density briquettes, companies can recover value from a challenging by-product, improve resource efficiency, reduce transport volumes and support a more circular approach to waste wood recycling.

Turning MDF dust into valuable boiler fuel

From by-product to fuel: Turning MDF dust into valuable boiler fuel

Southern Pine Products in Canterbury is turning MDF dust into valuable boiler fuel, which it sells to a local flower producer. By installing a briquette press it has cut waste disposal costs by more than $180,000 a year and created a new revenue stream – and it sees scope to get even more value from its investment.
