Success Story: Duffield Timber
Duffield Timber provides fuel to Northern England with a Briquetter
Monetize waste. Reduce Cost. Maximize Efficiency.
CLIENT
Duffield Timber is a family-owned timber importer in the United Kingdom producing a mix of machined hardwoods and sawed boards.
CHALLENGE
Duffield processes a mix of hard- and softwoods every day. This leaves them with a lot of sawdust— around 20 tons every week. Through research, they became aware of an unmet demand for wood fuel in Northern England. Additionally, they sought to reduce their energy bills that had grown to be four times greater than normal.
SOLUTION
Duffield found C.F. Nielson, a RUF member company, and they installed BP6500 HD Mechanical Press and BS350 Saw to start turning their byproduct into income.
