Briquetting presses are machines for pressing wood waste and scraps and therefore useful for the disposal and recycling of manufacturing waste.By solely applying pressure, without adding any substance or glue, the briquetting presses can compact materials that contain less than 18% moisture. For many years our expertise in design, research and construction have made our "O.LD" range of hydraulic presses the ultimate in efficiency and reliability.Standard rangeThe briquetting press comprises two basic parts: the press and the mini silo. This solution offers the advantage of freer maintenance and the possibility of replacing the press without the mini silo, as the latter is interchangeable. The customer may also purchase a silo with size and capacity according to available space and in particular the quantities of product.A horizontal feeding screw provides a continuous and constant load for each cycle. The mechanical constructional features of the machine include the use of pistons (loading and compression), compression heads,extruders and oversized piston clamps that ensure a saleable briquette and a long operating life of the machines.The briquetting press is equipped with a highly reliable PLC. Compact rangeThe new COMPATTA briquetting press (compact range) comprises a single element on which a mini silo and hydraulic control unit are mounted.The advantages of this solution lie in the limited amount of space it occupies.A horizontal feeding screw provides a continuous and constant load for each cycle. The mechanical constructional features of the machine include the use of pistons (loading and compression), compression heads, extruders and oversized piston clamping assemblies that ensure a saleable briquette and a long operating life of the machines. The briquetting press is supplied with a highly reliable PLC.
