At those prices I had better dust off my briquette press and start producing again.

Italian Comafer did reasonable quality but I gave up when price dipped below £200 per tonne.

No offence, but a Comafer press is not exactly regarded as a quality press within the industry.

Ideal for a joinery workshop looking to compact there waste, but no good for a high quality producer

Never said it was a high quality press being Italian what do you expect. We bought the machine to produce firelighters which it does very well, to be able to produce briquettes was an added bonus.
