Introduction
Environmentally efficient ways of disposing of all types of waste has become increasingly important in recent years. Many companies both large and small are now looking into the most economic forms of waste reduction and removal. This is particularly true of the woodworking sector who traditionally have large amounts of waste to dispose of. However one of the unique features of wood waste is that it lends itself to being recycled or re-used in a number of different forms, with one of the most popular being briquettes.

What is Briquetting?
Briquetting your waste wood shavings and / or dust is essentially compressing the material into a cylindrical form. This is done through a dedicated briquetting machine which can be specified to suit the amount of waste that needs to be handled. Not only can these machines process woodwaste, they can also be used for cardboard, paper, straw and in some cases waste metal shavings.

Why Briquetting?
Unlike wood shavings and dust, briquettes are easy to handle and dispose of. They can be re-used within the factory in dedicated wood fired heaters or bagged and re-sold. Briquettes are recognised as being ideal to burn due to their high calorific value. Generally the larger the diameter briquettes burn longer and give out most heat. The Briquetting machines themselves are simple to operate and do not require regular operator intervention. They can be either filled manually or on request be directly linked to a dust extraction system. Companies who are able to recycle their waste in this way can greatly reduce their carbon foot print.

Main Advantages Summary: Reduce, remove, recycle. Reduction of waste volume. Savings on traditional methods of waste disposal and transport. Briquettes ideal for burning due to high calorific value. Machines can be specified to work with wood waste, paper or cardboard. (Note special machine specification maybe required)

Nazzareno OL-D Series of Briquetting Presses

The OL-D series of briquetting presses comprises of three different models, the 52, 62 and 72. While compact in design they are of heavy duty construction and are ideally suited to the small to medium size company who require a throughput of approximately 30kg to 100kg per hour. As standard the machine has an integral hydraulic power unit, hopper unit, electrical switch cabinet and a stainless steel plated extruder unit. These machines can work with a variety of waste material including hardwood and softwood shavings/dust or a combination of both. Ideally the moisture content should be between 15 to 18%.

Method Of Operation:
The material to be processed is manually loaded in to the storage hopper, usually being emptied from waste extraction bags. It then gravitates down and is fed in to the worm screw which in turn then feeds the waste in to the die head. Here it is compressed both vertically and horizontally by heavy duty hydraulic cylinders into its final compact cylindrical shape. The briquette density and length can be controlled by regulating the hydraulic clamping pressure and screw timer switch. On request other methods of loading the waste in to the hopper are available. These include via belt conveyor or directly from a waste extraction unit where the briquetting press can be positioned directly underneath.

Optional Extras:
Sensor level indicator for automatic operation. Briquette breaker (1000mm long) and head for interlinking briquettes to obtain briquettes of a length of 200mm - 300mm. Inspection door on silo. Inspection window on silo. Oil cooling system. Extruder cooling unit. 10 Bag Carousel bagging unit. Plastic bag sealing unit.

Shredders, Pellet Plants and Combined Systems

In addition to standard briquetting presses we are also able to offer dedicated woodwaste shredders, turnkey wood pellet biomass plants along with combined all in one dust filter units complete with integrated wood briquetting press.
