Briquetting Machines
Briquetting machines are key equipment in the waste-processing industry, enabling sawdust, straw, agro-biomass and other loose materials to be transformed into compact, eco-friendly briquettes – ready for use as fuel or secondary raw material. At Comerc, we offer solutions tailored to any production scale, combining innovation with reliability.
Why is a briquetting machine an investment in the future?
• reduced storage costs – briquettes take up to 6× less space than loose material
• eco-friendly and economical – no chemical binders, fully compliant with EU regulations
• versatility – machines adapted to various materials, from wood waste to agro-biomass
• automation – modern HMI control systems and integration with production lines (dryers, shredders, packaging systems)
How to choose the ideal briquetting machine?
The decision depends on the type of raw material, production scale and desired briquette shape. At Comerc, we support our clients by offering:
• free technological audits – we analyse your material and production needs
• sample testing – we verify machine performance using your own waste material
• complete service – from line design to operator training
Briquetting Machines
Hydraulic briquetting presses for sawdust and straw
Hydraulic briquetting presses are the key components of production lines used for forming biomass into briquettes. Their role is to compress pre-processed material into blocks, cylinders or Pini-Kay shapes. Many models exist on the market, varying in power and mechanical design. Presses work alongside dryers, shredders, bucket elevators and other equipment that together form a complete briquetting line.
Hydraulic briquetting presses use high-pressure hydraulic fluid to compact material. This makes them highly efficient and reliable. Our hydraulic presses are energy-efficient, user-friendly and heavily automated, making them an ideal solution for companies seeking effective and environmentally friendly production.
How does a briquetting machine work?
Briquetting machines are mainly used to produce eco-friendly fuel from wood waste. Sawdust presses are the most common, but machines can also process straw, fruit waste and other biodegradable materials. The principle is simple: high pressure compacts loose biomass into dense, cohesive briquettes.
Hydraulic presses use hydraulic force, while mechanical presses rely on an electric-motor-driven ram. Both compress material in a chamber, forming it into blocks (more rarely cylinders, octagons or custom shapes). The finished briquette is then discharged and conveyed to the packaging section.
Modern briquetting machines are highly reliable, energy-efficient, heavily automated and easy to operate. Their output depends not only on technical parameters but also on material properties. For maximum efficiency and lowest operating cost, a complete automated briquetting line is recommended. Our experts design and deliver turnkey systems tailored to each client.

Sawdust Briquetting Machines
Sawdust briquetting machines operate similarly to pellet mills, transforming wood waste into clean, renewable fuel. The material is compacted under high pressure into blocks or cylinders. Machine efficiency depends on factors such as material quality, moisture level and machine specifications.
Straw Briquetting Machines
Straw briquetting machines convert agricultural waste into valuable fuel. They operate on the same principle as sawdust presses but are engineered to handle fibrous agricultural biomass. Their output and performance depend on model specifications, making proper selection essential for efficient operation.
