Discover the advantages of briquetting scrap wood from the carpentries.
Spare resources and increase your profit.
Briquettes allow for sensible reduction in volume (depending on the type of material) due to their high pressure compactness rather than the chips. They make work environments considerably more organised and efficient. You can use new spaces to store products and for the production lines.
The briquettes ensures easy and practical handling, thus reducing internal and external transport costs (use of the forklift truck and, consequently, the time operators dedicate to collecting scraps).
The lower transport costs for briquettes have a direct impact on the sales margin at the collection facilities and can represent a valuable source of income.
Briquettes allow for reducing the environmental impact due to the conditions and state of the container or collection facilities, which are often not in a good state.
The briquettes improve combustion in boilers and fireplaces thanks to an exceptional heat capacity. In turn, this sensibly optimises the yield resulting in less fumes generated and very limited post-combustion residues.
The briquettes allows for concentrating high energy reserves in a limited volume with a high environmental conservation. During the combustion phase into boilers and fireplaces, the briquettes increase the yield quite sensibly owing to their fundamental characteristic of being compacted at extremely high pressures, as opposed to plain wood chips or shavings. Due to their exceptional heat capacity (wood briquettes have an average yield of 4,000/4,500 kcal, higher than of firewood, which is 2,000/2,300 kcal), they retain heat for longer keeping the temperature inside the boiler's firebox high. Owing to their physiological properties, they are ecofriendly, produce little smoke, have a high density, low percentage of humidity and burn slower and almost entirely with a very limited post-combustion residue. The boilers are cleaner and require less maintenance. Due to the very low porosity of briquettes, the embers produced during combustion are denser than to the ones produced by wood or by non-pressed biomass.
