Briquetting Presses for Wood, Paper & Metal

Storing and disposing of loose dust or chips is not only expensive but also dangerous due to the fire load. Briquetting presses from Höcker Polytechnik enable efficient and sustainable processing of wood chips, paper dust, and metal chips into high-quality briquettes. By compressing the materials, we significantly reduce the volume, save space and transport resources, and recover valuable raw materials. Additionally, briquettes are easy and safe to store and represent an environmentally friendly method of waste processing. Hydraulic briquetting presses simplify the safe and cost-effective disposal as well as processing of your production waste into metal, cellulose, and wood briquettes.

Choose from our various briquetting machines to find the right solution for your requirements. Whether it's a wood briquetting press or briquetting presses for metal and cellulose waste, we have the right product for you.

The Briquetting Presses from the BrikStar series by Höcker Polytechnik combine over 60 years of experience in plant engineering with innovative technology. Thanks to their compact design, modern control systems, and powerful hydraulic units, these presses allow for a clean and safe operation—while ensuring high compaction.

Briquetting Presses for Wood

The wood briquetting press impresses with energy efficiency and sustainability. Especially when processing wood waste into biomass, the systems excel: With a hydraulic briquetting press, high-quality briquettes can be made from wood chips. These are valuable energy carriers with an impressive calorific value. Two kilograms of such briquettes are roughly equivalent to 0.9 liters of heating oil—a highly attractive alternative in times of rising energy costs.

Using the wood chip press, fine, potentially explosive dust is reliably compacted into solid briquettes. This significantly reduces the risk of dust explosions. At the same time, it creates a safe, storable material that can either be disposed of or returned to the recycling process.

Briquetting Presses for Paper

When processing cellulose waste, Höcker Polytechnik also offers well-thought-out solutions. The briquetting press for paper is ideal for companies that wish to sustainably and efficiently process large amounts of paper waste.

Through briquetting, not only is the volume significantly reduced, but a stackable, storable material is also produced. At the same time, storage and transport costs are minimized—a clear advantage for logistics and the environment.

Briquetting Presses for Metal

For metalworking companies, the hydraulic briquetting presses from the BrikStar series offer tailored solutions. These briquetting presses for metal are specifically designed for processing metal chips—whether steel, cast, aluminum, magnesium, or non-ferrous metals.

Thanks to their compact design, they require little space but offer high throughput. A central element of the briquetting press is the optimized hydraulic system. This enhances energy efficiency and supports sustainable production.

An additional advantage: The presses enable the recovery of cooling lubricants. These are largely pressed out during the briquetting process. This is not only economically sensible but also legally relevant. Moreover, the volume reduction of process waste results in higher revenues—as briquettes fetch significantly higher prices on the market than loose metal chips.
