Why Briquetting? – From Waste to Value

Waste materials cost money, occupy valuable space, and burden the environment. Briquetting transforms these challenges into opportunities—turning waste into compact, sustainable briquettes that save space, reduce costs, and generate new value for your business. Discover the key advantages of choosing briquetting:

  • Additional revenue from the sale of briquettes
  • High-quality, carbon-neutral fuel
  • Higher calorific value than firewood
  • Extended burning duration
  • Attractive alternative to pellets

Hydraulic or Mechanical? – Which Solution Fits Your Needs?

Mechanical or hydraulic briquetting — both technologies offer specific strengths. Depending on your materials, volumes, and individual requirements, one method might be the better fit. Explore the key differences and advantages at a glance:

Hydraulic Briquetting by RUF

Precision Hydraulics for Consistent Compaction

RUF hydraulic briquetting presses compress a wide range of materials into dense, durable briquettes – without the need for binding agents. A precisely controlled piston ensures optimal compaction, while the continuously refined hydraulic system delivers consistent briquette quality, high energy efficiency and reliable performance.

Mechanical Briquetting by C.F. Nielsen

Robust Technology for High Throughput

C.F. Nielsen mechanical presses are built for high-capacity briquetting across various materials. Based on eccentric press technology, they compact the material through conical dies with adjustable counterpressure – enabling precise control of briquette density and shape. This robust technology guarantees consistently high briquette quality – ideal for applications with demanding production volumes.

What Our Customers Say

Portrait von Thim Boesen, Maintenance Manager, Carl Hansen & Søn (Denmark)

„They (C.F. Nielsen Briquetting Press) are very easy to use. Start the machines up in the morning, and after running for 8 to 10 hours they only require a quick cleaning process. Besides that, they mostly take care of themselves.”
