Wood waste briquetters compact loose sawdust, shavings and fine wood offcuts into dense briquettes using mechanical or hydraulic pressure. Material is fed into the machine and compressed into uniform blocks, which can be collected in containers or discharged into a storage area depending on the setup.
These machines are used for wood waste generated during cutting, machining and finishing processes. Compacting this material reduces the space it takes up and keeps working areas cleaner and more manageable.
Finished briquettes can be stacked and stored until they are removed from site, keeping loose material contained.
All briquetters we supply meet relevant UK and CE safety requirements.
Materials Processed
Wood waste briquetters handle:
- Sawdust and wood shavings
- Fine wood offcuts and chips
- Wood dust from cutting and machining processes
Output varies depending on the material, moisture content and volume.
Wood Waste Briquetter Selection
Briquetter choice is driven by the amount of wood waste produced and how the briquettes are stored or removed.
Lower-output machines are commonly used in workshops and smaller production areas where sawdust and shavings build up steadily. Higher-capacity briquetters are installed where wood waste is generated throughout the day.
We supply wood waste briquetters across the UK.
Wood Burners and Briquettes
Briquettes produced by wood waste briquetters are used alongside wood burners on sites that manage wood waste internally. Rather than storing loose sawdust or shavings, briquettes provide a consistent fuel format that is easier to handle and store.
Where a suitable wood burner is installed, briquettes can be stored and used as required as part of the site’s wider wood waste handling setup. Suitability depends on the burner specification and local operating requirements.
Landfill Alternatives supply wood burners, based on how wood waste is handled on site.
