Briquetting Grinding Sludge Grinding sludge recycling with an efficient briquetting press

Our high-performance briquetting press for grinding sludge enables efficient processing of grinding sludge. This offers a double advantage: on the one hand, the amount of material to be disposed of is significantly reduced, and on the other hand, the integrated cooling lubricant recovery system allows valuable operating materials such as oil or emulsion to be recovered – often more than 50% of the original material.

The briquetting technology developed by RUF is specially tailored to the abrasive material of grinding sludge. The compact design ensures that the press can be easily integrated into existing production processes and runs reliably in 24/7 operation.

Grinding sludge recycling not only offers ecological advantages, but also significant savings in disposal costs. In addition, the resulting briquettes can be classified as ‘non-hazardous waste’ – depending on agreement with the authorities. This enables companies to make an important contribution to sustainability and occupational safety.
Our grinding sludge presses are available in a range of configurations and cover throughput rates between 40 and 350 kg per hour – optimally tailored to individual production requirements.

“After purchasing our first RUF briquette press, we decided in favour of RUF again for all subsequent systems - we were completely satisfied right from the start. We particularly appreciate the reliable after-sales service: the systems run stably and the service team is quick to respond to any problems.”



Markus Schober 

COO, Hammerer Aluminium Industries (Austria)

“We had such encouraging experience with the first press that we immediately decided to install another ten briquetting systems of the same type.“

Jürgen Reichart
Multivac Group (Germany)

Free Test Pressing – your entry into Briquetting

Not all grinding sludge can be briquetted. We would be happy to advise you and give you the opportunity to test your material without obligation. The test pressing is free of charge and takes place at our technical center, using various RUF machines if desired. You only cover transport of the material. With no risk, you receive reliable results that provide a solid decision-making basis.

We are happy to invite you to accompany the test live on-site – or alternatively, we send you a detailed pressing report along with sample briquettes.
