Waste Briquetting Systems
“Turn Your Shavings
Into Savings...”
www.jjsmith.co.uk

Introduction
Environmentally efficient ways of disposing of all types of waste has become increasingly more 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 different 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 intern 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.
