LFA BQ 1 - Small Sawdust Briquetter

The LFA BQ 1 is a small industrial briquetting press designed to compact sawdust, wood shavings and fine wood chips into dense, uniform briquettes. It is typically used by joinery shops, woodworking businesses and manufacturing sites where residual wood waste is produced daily and needs to be dealt with on site rather than stored loose.

Because of its compact footprint, the LFA BQ 1 can be installed directly inside a workshop where waste is generated, rather than outside in a separate waste area. This allows sawdust and shavings to be processed close to extraction systems and machinery, reducing the need for handling loose material in bags, bins or skips.

Loose wood waste is compressed into solid briquettes with a consistent cross section, making the material far easier to store, handle and reuse. Briquetting significantly reduces the volume of waste on site, cutting down skip movements and disposal costs while turning a waste stream into a usable product.

The finished briquettes can be used as a carbon-neutral fuel in suitable wood waste burners, providing an effective way to recover heat from material that would otherwise be paid to remove. Landfill Alternatives supplies a full range of industrial wood burners designed to run on briquettes, sawdust and wood offcuts, allowing customers to link briquetting directly to on-site heating.

The LFA BQ 1 is commonly specified as a sawdust briquetter or wood shavings briquetting press for joinery workshops, furniture manufacturers, carpentry businesses and woodworking operations producing fine wood residues rather than large offcuts.

The BQ 1 sits within the LFA briquetting range, which includes small, medium and larger briquetters to suit different waste volumes and extraction setups. It is intended for sites producing lower quantities of fine wood waste where a compact, straightforward briquetting solution is required.
