WEIMA TH 1200 Industrial Briquetting Press | Wood, Metal, Paper

The galvanised hopper, into which the material to be briquetted is fed either manually, via a conveyor belt or a screw conveyor, is fitted at the bottom with a rotating agitator and a discharge screw. It is available in dimensions of 1,400 x 1,400 mm or 2,000 x 2,000 mm, depending on the required buffer volume. The machine can be operated in automatic mode using level monitoring.

We manufacture all the control cabinets for our briquetting presses in-house at our German plants in Ilsfeld, Abstatt and Annaburg. We use only branded components for this purpose – including for our machine control systems. The high-quality Siemens PLC control system with touchscreen display ensures that the components are perfectly coordinated, enabling us to achieve a consistently high quality of briquettes.

The larger the hydraulic tank, the longer it takes for all the oil to heat up. This has a positive effect on the briquette press’s operating time. The hydraulic unit is also temperature-controlled. Taken together, this results in a significantly higher throughput thanks to faster pressing cycles and a more robust machine overall.

If required, individual components – such as the container, the pressing unit or the oil tank – can be flexibly positioned. We call this option ‘Vario’. The machine adapts to your specific production requirements – not the other way round. Integration into existing production lines is extremely straightforward. This means that all options remain open to you, even for future optimisations.

The briquetting process takes place without the addition of adhesives or binding agents, which means the resulting briquettes are safe for subsequent use as fuel. Thanks to a closed pressing system, the continuous release of dust is also effectively prevented. This protects your staff and keeps your production halls clean.

As the only machine featuring pliers technology, the TH 1200 produces rectangular briquettes measuring 150 x 60 mm with variable lengths. These are ideal for stacking, packaging and subsequently selling at a profit. The high-capacity hydraulic unit enables multi-shift operation with high throughput rates. A generously sized pliers cylinder ensures the production of highly compacted briquettes.
