The wood press for high-quality fuels
The RUF wood briquette machine forms briquettes from your wood chips to enable profitable sales. The LIGNUM wood chip briquette machine range has the flexibility to process various different grain sizes of the material into briquettes of a consistently high density and quality. The LIGNUM range works with a very high level of energy efficiency thanks to our innovative RUF hydraulics. Due to its compact structure, the sawdust press is easy to incorporate into existing production processes and is suitable for 24h operation.

Pressing wood chips – creating more revenue
Thanks to the great number of wood chip machines we have sold, RUF briquettes are popular all over the world as a sustainable, high-quality fuel. A consistent length and a constant weight of the briquettes can largely be ensured, even with different bulk densities, through our highly developed system of briquette length regulation.
To be able to press wood chips, it is important that the water content of the material is below 15%.
Depending on customer requirements, we offer wood briquette machines for throughputs between 410 and 1,050 kg per hour.

"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."
