Wood briquetting presses | For energy alternatives and easy storage

In many industries, especially in wood processing, large quantities of wood waste are produced every day. This waste not only takes up valuable storage space, but often also means considerable costs for disposal and transportation. The solution: WEIMA briquetting presses. They transform loose wood waste such as sawdust, wood shavings or wood chips into high-quality, compact wood briquettes that offer a wide range of benefits.

Independent and sustainable: defy the energy crisis with WEIMA wood briquettes!

The use of self-produced wood briquettes with WEIMA briquette presses offers companies the opportunity to heat independently of rising energy prices and energy crises. Wood briquettes have a high calorific value and ensure sustainable heat generation based on the company’s own residual materials.This not only creates autonomy, but also significantly reduces heating costs. At the same time, the complete utilization of waste wood makes a valuable contribution to sustainability – without the use of additives or adhesives.

100 % natural - briquettes free from additives

WEIMA wood briquettes are a Pure natural product made without additives or adhesives. Through processing, such as shredding and drying to a water content of usually less than 10%, compacted wood residues achieve a high degree of homogeneity. The cross-linking of the wood fibers and the adhesive effect of the natural wood components such as lignin and wax make the briquettes dimensionally stable – without the use of binding agents. These sustainable briquettes offer an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional fuels and are made from 100% natural raw materials.
