Modern briquetting remains straightforward, but this simplicity is due to the know-how that briquetting press manufacturers have developed over time, according to C.F. Nielsen and RUF Briquetting Systems. The company manufactures mechanical, hydraulic and screw extruder briquetting lines.
C.F. Nielsen began developing consumer briquetting solutions at the start of the 21st century, as consumers started to demand efficient and environmentally friendly solutions for heat generation.
Since then, the company has worked hard to become a leading manufacturer of mechanical briquetting machines for the consumer segment.
In most cases, the raw material used for consumer briquetting comes from wood residue because it has low ash content, thereby providing a better and longer burn in the briquettes. However, it is also possible to use raw materials such as wheat straw and miscanthus residue.
In recent years, as the focus on renewable energy has grown, the applications for briquettes have expanded concurrently. Prices and demand over the last 4-5 years have been higher, and suppliers have been struggling to keep up with the progressive market.
