    Falach 50XL Briquette Machine

    Falach · Briquette & Wood Waste
    A continuous-run hydraulic briquette press for workshops that generate enough wood waste — shavings, dust, chippings, or MDF — to justify dedicated daily production. Converts material that would otherwise cost money to dispose of into usable, saleable fuel briquettes.

    Typically chosen by

    • Joinery shops and timber yards running dust extraction systems who want to offset waste disposal costs by converting shavings, dust, and chippings — including MDF — into usable briquettes
    • Workshops with enough daily waste to keep a machine running continuously through a full working day, typically those with extraction running across multiple machines
    • Operations where a largely hands-off briquetting process is needed, rather than batch pressing — the 50XL is designed to run alongside production without requiring constant attention

    Send us a sample - we’ll test your material first

    Not all waste streams briquette equally. Moisture content, particle size, and material mix all affect output quality and briquette consistency. We’ll run your material on the machine and report back before you make any decision.

    Key specification considerations

    Output
    40–60 kg/hour
    At the upper end, a typical eight-hour shift would yield approximately 480 kg of briquettes — worth confirming this against your actual waste volume before specifying.
    Briquette Size
    50 mm diameter · 35–50 mm length (adjustable)
    Hopper Volume
    0.80 m³
    The extended funnel-shaped hopper reduces how frequently operators need to reload, which matters if the machine is running alongside other production work.
    Noise Level
    68 dB
    68 dB is roughly equivalent to a normal conversation — this machine is unlikely to require acoustic treatment or to dominate the workshop environment.

    Output
    40–60 kg/hour
    At the upper end, a typical eight-hour shift would yield approximately 480 kg of briquettes — worth confirming this against your actual waste volume before specifying.
    Briquette Diameter
    50 mm
    Briquette Length
    35–50 mm (adjustable)
    Adjustable briquette length lets you tailor output to your storage or packaging requirements without changing tooling.
    Operation
    Continuous
    Accepted Waste Types
    All wood waste — shavings, dust, chippings, MDF
    Hopper Volume
    0.80 m³
    The extended funnel-shaped hopper reduces how frequently operators need to reload, which matters if the machine is running alongside other production work.
    Pump Motor Input
    5.5 kW
    Power Consumption
    3.8 kW/hour
    Electrical Supply
    3-phase, 16A
    Three-phase 16A supply is required — confirm your workshop supply is suitable before ordering.
    Dimensions (L × W × H)
    1960 × 1150 × 1350 mm
    Allow additional clearance around the machine for hopper loading, briquette collection, and operator access — the footprint is notably wider than the smaller models in this range.
    Weight
    430 kg
    Noise Level
    68 dB
    68 dB is roughly equivalent to a normal conversation — this machine is unlikely to require acoustic treatment or to dominate the workshop environment.
    Certification
    UKCA compliant
    UKCA marking confirms the machine meets UK product safety requirements — necessary for legal sale and use in Great Britain.
    Oil Cooler
    Yes
    The hydraulic cooler allows the machine to run continuously without heat build-up causing shut-downs — important if you intend to run it for extended periods.
    Auto Reverse Vertical Agitator
    Yes
    This automatically breaks up bridging material in the hopper so production continues without manual intervention.
    Automatic Switch-out
    Yes
    The machine will shut itself down safely when required rather than needing constant operator supervision.
    Electrical Interlocked Lid
    Yes
    The machine cannot operate with the lid open, which is a practical safety requirement in a working workshop.
    Chromed Piston and Press Chamber
    Yes
    Chromium hardening on the pressing surfaces extends service life in abrasive dust and shaving environments.
    Vibration Unit
    Yes

    Is this the right
    machine for you?

    Choose the Falach 50XL Briquette Machine if...

    • Your workshop generates enough waste to keep a machine running continuously through the working day — the 50XL is sized for sustained production, not occasional batch use
    • You need the larger 0.80 m³ hopper to reduce how often operators need to attend to the machine during a shift
    • Floor space is not a limiting factor — the 50XL's footprint (1960 × 1150 mm) is considerably larger than the 20-series machines
    • You want the oil cooler and continuous-run design to handle extended shifts without thermal shutdown

    Consider an alternate model if...

    • Your waste volumes are lower or more intermittent — the Falach 20XL or Falach 20 both run continuously and produce 10–25 kg/hour, making them the better fit for smaller operations
    • Your workshop has limited floor area; both the Falach 20XL and Falach 20 are substantially more compact than the 50XL (1250 × 740 mm footprint)
    • You are new to briquetting and want to start with a smaller machine to assess output volumes before committing to a larger unit — the 20-series is the more sensible starting point in that case
