In the machining processes, residues arise in the form of chips, dusts and wood chips, which are recycled, used energetically or disposed of. For many applications, briquetting the residuals is a convincing alternative with notable advantages:
- volume reduction up to 90%,
- better handling of residual materials,
- production of sellable briquettes,
- recovery of cutting oils and cooling lubricants,
- reduced melting losses of metal briquettes,
- reduction of the risk of fire and explosion by particulate
Practice has shown that chips and dust from the following materials can be briquetted:
- solid wood
- chipboard, MDF, etc.,
- plastics (PU, styrofoam, fiberglass, etc.)
- varnish and abrasive dust,
- paper
- cardboard
- banknotes
- steel and casting,
- aluminium and other light metals,
- cotton, textiles,
- biomass (tobacco, rice husks, coffee husks, miscanthus, etc.)
