Efficiency up to 120 kg/h
The AECO range of hydraulic briquette presses is designed primarily for application in small or medium-sized joiner workshops. The briquette press serves the purpose of processing wood waste with a moisture content of 8-15% in order to produce briquettes (fuel) from sawdust, wood shavings and wood dust, using a hydraulic piston mechanism. The briquetting process reduces the volume of waste material by up to 90%. The benefits are savings in the storage area, the creation of a dust-free environment and easy transportation, all of which is achieved without bonding material.
Fuel efficiency of 1 kilogram of briquettes: 15 – 18 MJ/kg
AECO briquette presses are modern, fully automated machine systems. The computer of the control unit, in cooperation with the press mechanism, provides a constant quality of the briquettes and automated operation. All presses are fitted with a level sensor to monitor the level of the waste material in the feeding hopper of the briquette press.
The feeding hopper is designed for setup with filtration superstructures and a ventilator. This comprehensive, unmanned system of wood dust extraction from the machinery directly to the briquette press provides maximum convenience in the processing of your waste.

Material types suitable for briquetting
- sawdust, wood shavings
- wood and paper dust
- milled paper
- milled biomass
- chaff, straw
- waste from impregnated material – DTM, MDF
Advantages and hallmarks of the AECO briquetting presses
- High briquette quality – provides a high quality of combustion (low briquette residue) and maximum possible fuel efficiency
- Resistance to failure combined with a long operating life – application of high-quality materials for the manufacturing of the press mechanism, its robust design, as well as modern technology and high-precision machining
- Ease of operation – the entire process of briquetting is controlled by a computer
- Inspection and maintenance – oil level reader and a counter of the machine hours are standard features of AECO presses
- Low operation cost – low-consumption motors reduce the electricity costs to a minimum
- Hopper – designed for use together with a filtration superstructure and a ventilator for the direct transport of waste to the briquetting press
- Hopper inspection door – for inspection and easy access to the hopper body
- Left- or right-side mount – upon the customer’s request, we offer positioning of the press mechanism to accommodate the unit for a left- or right-side mount
- Outdoor operation – when supplied with special oil, AECO briquetting presses are capable of operation outdoors at temperatures as low as -25 °C
- Low level sensor – this feature turns the press off automatically once the level of the material in the hopper is too low. After material is resupplied, the press resumes operation automatically
Standard equipment
- electrical switchboard with a control computer for unmanned operation of the press
- automatic regulation of the length and quality of briquettes
- piping system for transporting briquettes to the packing site – 2 arches to a height of 1,200 mm
- thermostat for oil temperature control
- pressure gauge for working cycle control
- level mark of the hydraulic oil tank
- screw feeder of material to the pressing chamber
- extracting cutter on the hopper bottom
- sensor of the material level in the hopper for automatically turning the press on and off
- emergency entrance port on the hopper wall
- operation hours counter
- oil cooler or preparation for its installation
