Many of the economic and environmental benefits of introducing a briquetting system into production and waste management processes are well documented. Reducing the bulk entering into landfill, minimising handling, transport and storage costs of waste, as well as improving the working environment are among these, however, there are other equally significant benefits that should be acknowledged.
Efficiency, sustainability, profitability are all key benefits when introducing a briquetting system. Hydraulically compacting residues such as wood, metal shavings/swarf and sludges can reduce the bulk by a ratio of 20:1. The resulting briquettes can then be re-used through the manufacturing cycle.
There are other significant benefits which businesses are exploiting to literally squeeze even more profit out of their waste. Introducing a RUF briquetting machine into production processes can result in up to 90% recovery of extracted fluids for re-use. Not only that, but briquetting grinding chips in accordance with locally responsible authorities has the benefit of converting previously classified hazardous waste into non-hazardous.
