Transform Production Waste into Value: Briquetting for Sustainable Recycling

Briquetting provides companies with a valuable way to efficiently utilise production waste and reduce costs. By compressing materials such as wood, metal, paper, or plastic into compact briquettes, you can minimize storage and transportation expenses while contributing to resource conservation. Our range includes wood briquette presses, metal chip briquetting machines, aluminium briquette presses and special biomass briquetting machines. These briquetting machines are designed to turn waste materials such as sawdust, metal swarf and metal sludge into high-quality briquettes that can be reused or easily disposed of - ideal for companies that focus on efficiency and sustainability when recycling carbide, metal waste, aluminium or grinding sludge, for example.

Whether you're looking for a briquetting machine for wood, metal, biomass or other materials like paper, our briquette presses for sale offer customised options to suit your needs.

Voices of our valued customers

"Since purchasing our machine Sam has been invaluable to us. From the excellent install and teaching that we received on delivery to the ongoing service and help that he has provided since, we cannot thank him enough.”

Oko Solid Fuels
RUF Lignum Classic Customer

"We’ve had a RUF briquetting machine now for a number of years, we’ve been using it exclusively for compressing Aluminium milled swarf. It was brought in for a number of reasons, the main ones being; compressing the sheer volume of scrap, reducing the frequency of bin changeover and an increased value of scrap through fluid reduction. On all of these fronts it has been an absolute success and exceeded our expectations. It’s also had other benefits including; coolant recovery, we consider it as a green process – the recycling lorries visit us less frequently and cleaner workshop to name but a few. 

When it came to purchasing two more automated machining cells the acquisition of another accompanying RUF briquetting was a very easy decision."
