RUF press system technology (briquette machine)

Welcome to RUF, your Partner for sustainable cost optimisation! 

RUF system technology is worldwide employed to profitably reduce the volume of shavings and swarfs, to recycle wood and compress biomass. RUF Hydraulic machines compact saw dust, wood chips, bark and wood dust and biomass such as peat, hay and miscanthus. Even residues such as paper, cotton, styrofoam or dusts can be disposed of safely and clean by means of a briquetting machine. RUF metal presses compact scrap metal, aluminium, steel and castings. They a improve the melting yield, drain-off water and de-oil. RUF Briquetting systems offer a compact solution for almost any kind of organic and inorganic material.

Let us have more information through below video.




Did you still have many questions after watching above video?
EX: is it need to add binder together? Is it have very big pressure?? ...etc.

Please watching another video as below which is our machine working theory, you can have more sense about RUF press.

Our Applications:

Compress. Recycle. Improve.

Wood is a natural product. Briquetting changes only the form, not the content. Wood is and remains wood. Even better – as a valuable source of energy, RUF briquettes have an even higher commercial value and an optimal CO2 balance.

Examples: Sawdust, wood chips, bark, wood shavings, wood dust

RUF machines are hydraulically powered, which ensures that the wood waste is compressed under high pressure into briquettes of uniform size and hardness – without the need for binders. So even after briquetting, wood remains exactly what it is – a pure natural product. 

Compressed wood burns at high temperatures, ensuring that a more even combustion process takes place. This results in a number of benefits: briquettes burn longer, more efficiently and produce less ash. The energy content and combustion behaviour of a high-density briquette equates approximately to that of lignite. The circle closes and a natural cycle is complete; wood briquettes only return as much CO2 to the atmosphere as is absorbed by a growing tree through photosynthesis. 

If the material requires any kind of pre-treatment such as drying or crushing, the effort involved is significantly lower than with alternative methods of compaction. This results in considerable savings in production costs.

Using energies efficiently

For many years, the majority of organic matter created by humans, animals and plants was viewed as a waste disposal problem. In light of increasingly scarce resources, a gradual rethink of the situation came about. Biomass is now playing an increasingly important role in the field of renewable energies.

Examples: peat, hay, hemp, MDF, horse manure, rape straw, palm straw, miscanthus, coffee grounds, tobacco dust, nut shells, rice husks, almond shells, sunflower seeds

Most organic materials can be transformed into compact, naturally pure briquettes possessing excellent calorific value by means of the RUF equipment‘s compaction process. The sale of briquettes to private individuals is also an additional, lucrative source of income. Both the environment and the company profit in equal measure. Compacting dust into briquettes not only reduces the risk of explosion but also significantly simplifies the logistics involved. In the agriculture sector, the cost-efficient production of feed as well as the ease of handling hay and straw are key economic factors.

Valuable Recycling Technology

Briquettes make an economically and ecologically valuable contribution to your corporate environmental management system. Multifunctional RUF briquetting equipment is distinguished by its innovative processing technique – the crucial requirement necessary for converting metallic residues into valuable secondary raw materials. The energy required for briquetting is just a small fraction of the amount that can be saved in follow-up costs. 

Examples: aluminium, steel, castings, grinding sludge, brass, copper, bronze, titanium, zinc, magnesiun

Metal shavings, swarf and sludges which are produced in steelmaking, in foundries or in the metal-working industry can be profitably reclaimed. RUF machines take care of the complete process of draining off water, de-oiling and briquetting.

Benefits of briquettes over chips:

• reclaim expensive cutting fluid
• higher melting yield
• greater yield of valuable metal 
• significant volume reduction    
• considerable savings in storage and transportation costs
• higher profits thanks to briquettes
• positive evaluation in environmental audits
