A sawdust briquetting machine is a machine that compresses sawdust and other biomass materials into compact briquettes. These briquettes can be used as an alternative to traditional fuels like coal and wood.
The machine uses high pressure to compress the sawdust and other materials into briquettes. These briquettes are then released from the machine and can be used for heating or cooking.
There are several benefits to using a sawdust briquetting machine. These machines are environmentally friendly, as they reduce the amount of waste produced by sawdust. They also provide a cost-effective alternative to traditional fuels.

Hi Bkueber,
We have been using compressed sawdust logs on SY Gondola for three years now, the ones we use, after trialling a few different makes, are 'Blazer Logs', manufactured by Clifford Jones Timber Ltd. in Wales, UK.
I will answer your questions in the order you ask them;
How well do briquettes burn in our boilers?
Very well is the answer- though they require a lot more top air to the grate, far less bottom air and we also need a flue damper to increase the dwell time of the flue gasses in the tubes of our loco' type boiler.
How do they compare to wood and coal?
They don't have the same calorific value of coal so you burn more by weight for the same energy output, but they are higher output than split wood.
They do take quite a while to catch properly, especially under heavy draft conditions, and this means recovering a dead fire is very hard, you HAVE to keep a deep bed on the grate.
What is the cost in Europe for a 20 and 50 lb bag?
Hard to answer as we buy in bulk to the tune of 70tons per summer season, but commercial price per ton is usually around the £370-390 mark.
Is the smoke good smelling and clean?
Respectively; 'a definite no' and 'sometimes', it depends on what woods the logs have been made out of, but in our experience what smoke there is is very dense, and foul smelling.
What are the pros/cons to using them?
Pro's;
-Cheaper than coal
-Vastly more environmentally freindly
-Easy to store
-Vastly reduced ash- we ash out every 4/5 days as opposed to having a full ashpan every day on coal
-What ash is made is potash and wholly re-usable as fertilizer
Con's;
-Hard to fire with a nonchalent mentality- you WILL end up with no fire on the grate- and to relight you MUST have flames, glowing embers will very quickly disappear.
-Easy to store- but it has to be a completely waterproof purpose built store- they expand to 200% their original volume when wet!!!
-They don't smell as nice
-Require modified grates/flues
-No good on vertical boilers, especially watertube- the dwell time of the products of combustion would be far too quick, and their radiant heat properties don't compare to fossil fuels.
