Brriquette press?

[rupert w]

Has anybody had any dealings with Northern energy systems. Thinking of buying large press hammer mill combo,diesel model but any other alternatives or advice welcome.This would mainly be for carpentry waste.

 

thanks in advance Rupert

Looking at there web site most of the equipment appears to be chinese so I would be concerned about quality. I have one of the chinese pellet presses only real use is as a paper weight. The Italian machine looks like my briquette press which is made by Comafer and produces briquettes but the quality is very poor and that includes using a hammer mill to reduce chip size.

Thanks for your advice John, will look into this further, we are not going to be rushing into anything. Can you recommend any other machines?

Hello Rupert,

 

We are also considering a briquette press and Northern Energy Systems are only a few hours away from us so we may go & see them sometime soon if they have a machine for us to see in the flesh.

The SPM type flywheel machines make excellent briquettes but they sell for crazy money. My hydraulic machine produces acceptable briquettes but quality wise will always be at the low end of the market.

thanks John,will keep looking at options.

Hello AM,

We will need to see one in action before we spend out,but we are near Cheltenham,so a long way to travel. What wood are you intending to use? We are intending just building wood. We are in early stages at the moment but would be very interested in any feedback.

 

Thanks Rupert

How are you looking to market the finished product?, I have tried to sell them for 3 years without any real success. Suspect its a cost issue.

Perhaps this is why,

 

Home Bargains. Verdo

 

The Verdo briquette is a top quality product, the price is though where is needs to be to be cost effective against logs. £5 a bag for briquettes and they wont sell.

Verdo are a mile up the road from me and people buy a tipper full of rejects cheap. I dont bother it just about burns with out heat. I like the hotmax better but best is beech.
