How are wood briquettes made?
Wood briquettes are made of two things: wood and pressure. That’s it. There are no chemicals or additives, making them a natural product.
Step 1
Wood materials (sawdust, shaving, or chips) are moved to a pre-charging chamber by a screw conveyor.
Step 2
A pre-charger presses the material into the main pressing chamber.
Step 3
The main pressing ram compresses the material into the mold and forms the briquette into its final shape and density.
Step 4
Wood briquettes are pushed out of the machine one at a time.
What are wood briquettes used for?
More convenient than traditional firewood and more flexible than wood pellets, wood briquettes are easy to store and handle, cost-effective, and can be used in practically any wood-burning device.
- Living room fireplaces
- Wood-burning stoves
- Backyard fire pits
- BBQs
- Commercial boilers
- Industrial heat and power
