LFA BQ 3 - Large Sawdust Briquetter

The LFA BQ 3 is a high-capacity industrial briquetting press designed to compact large volumes of fine wood waste into dense, uniform briquettes. It is used by UK woodworking, joinery and manufacturing businesses that generate significant quantities of sawdust, planer shavings, CNC dust, sanding dust and fine wood chips, and want to deal with this material on site rather than storing it loose or paying for disposal.

The LFA BQ 3 produces solid briquettes with a consistent 70mm cross-section, allowing finished briquettes to be stacked, stored and handled easily. Briquette length is adjustable, making it possible to tailor output for storage, handling or downstream use.

The machine is typically installed within workshops or production areas where dust and fine wood waste is generated continuously, and is often positioned beneath or alongside dust extraction systems, cyclones or filter units so material can be fed directly into the industrial briquetting press without additional handling.

By compressing loose wood waste into dense briquettes, the LFA BQ 3 delivers effective wood waste volume reduction, helping reduce skip collections, skip costs, storage space and waste handling time while turning sawdust and shavings into a carbon-neutral biomass fuel. The resulting solid fuel briquettes can be used on site or stored for later use. Landfill Alternatives also supply industrial wood waste burners allowing briquettes to be used directly for space heating where appropriate.

The LFA BQ 3 is designed for continuous industrial operation and is suited to sites with high daily wood waste output where smaller briquetting presses are no longer practical. It is intended specifically for industrial and commercial briquetting applications, rather than domestic or manual briquette production.

Operation is straightforward, with material fed into the hopper and compacted automatically into dense briquettes. The press is built for reliability and sustained use, making it suitable for busy production environments where wood waste is produced throughout the working day.

The LFA BQ 3 sits within the Landfill Alternatives briquetting press range, which includes small, medium and large industrial briquetters to suit different waste volumes and site requirements. The LFA BQ 3 is typically selected where daily waste output exceeds the capacity of entry-level and mid-range machines.

The machine is commonly referred to within the industry as a briquetting press, wood waste briquetting machine, sawdust briquetting press, sawdust briquetter or industrial briquetter, reflecting its role in processing fine residual wood material for reuse as fuel. It is designed for dry, fine wood waste only and is not intended for mixed waste, MDF offcuts or oversized timber sections.
