BrikStar manufactures briquette presses built to convert the wood waste generated by sawmills, joinery shops, and timber yards into dense, burnable briquettes that can be used for heating or sold on. Their EK 20 is a compact, straightforward machine suited to operations generating moderate volumes of fine wood waste. We work with BrikStar because turning sawdust and shavings into a usable fuel product is a sensible way to extract value from what would otherwise be a disposal cost.
- Chosen By List:
- List Item:
Small joinery or carpentry shops generating moderate volumes of dry wood waste who want a straightforward way to reduce disposal costs
- List Item:
Workshops with a solid fuel boiler or stove on-site, looking to produce their own fuel rather than buying it in
- List Item:
Operations where waste storage space is limited and reducing volume before collection or burning is a practical priority
- This Product List:
- List Item:
Your workshop generates relatively modest volumes of wood waste and a throughput of up to 25–30 kg/hr is sufficient to keep pace with production
- List Item:
You want a low-power, low-running-cost machine — at 2.2 kW motor power this is one of the lightest electrical loads in the briquetting range
- List Item:
Floor space is at a premium and you need the smallest practical footprint for a hydraulic press
- List Item:
You are new to briquetting and want a straightforward, lower-capital entry point before committing to higher-capacity equipment
- Alternate List:
- List Item:
Your waste output regularly exceeds 30 kg/hr — the <a href="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=16&catid=13">Falach 30</a> (25–35 kg/hr) or <a href="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=17&catid=13">Falach 35</a> (30–40 kg/hr) would handle that volume more reliably
- List Item:
You need throughput in the 40–60 kg/hr range — the <a href="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=19&catid=13">Falach 50XL</a> is the appropriate step up
- List Item:
You want a slightly larger hopper or different physical footprint within a similar output class — the <a href="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=14&catid=13">Falach 20</a> and <a href="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=15&catid=13">Falach 20XL</a> share comparable capacity and are worth comparing on dimensions and build
- List Item:
Your input material is inconsistently dry or variable in particle size — a higher-pressure or larger machine may give more consistent briquette quality under those conditions
- Key Specifications:
- Specification Name:
Output, Specification Value:
10–30 kg/hr, Specification Notes:
Actual throughput depends on material type, particle size, and moisture content — drier, finer material will sit toward the higher end of this range.
- Specification Name:
Motor Power, Specification Value:
2.2 kW (hydraulic pump); 2.4 kW installed, Specification Notes:
Requires a 400 V three-phase supply — confirm your workshop supply before ordering.
- Specification Name:
Hopper Capacity, Specification Value:
0.6 m³
- Specification Name:
Noise Level, Specification Value:
~75 dB, Specification Notes:
75 dB is roughly comparable to a busy road or vacuum cleaner at close range — acoustic treatment is unlikely to be required, but hearing protection is advisable for prolonged exposure nearby.
- Full Specifications:
- Specification Name:
Output / Throughput, Specification Value:
~10–30 kg/hr (up to ~25 kg/hr quoted), Specification Notes:
Variation reflects differences in material density and moisture — treat the upper figure as a best-case with ideal input material.
- Specification Name:
Motor Power, Specification Value:
2.2 kW (hydraulic pump); 2.4 kW installed input
- Specification Name:
Power Supply, Specification Value:
400 V, three-phase; electrical protection IP54, Specification Notes:
IP54 rating means the electrical components are protected against dust ingress and water splashing — appropriate for a typical workshop environment.
- Specification Name:
Briquette Shape, Specification Value:
Cylindrical, 62 mm diameter, 20–30 mm length
- Specification Name:
Briquette Density, Specification Value:
~900–1,100 kg/m³, Specification Notes:
Higher density briquettes burn longer and store more compactly — actual density will vary with input material.
- Specification Name:
Max Working Pressure, Specification Value:
~180 bar
- Specification Name:
Permissible Moisture Content, Specification Value:
Up to ~15% by weight (optimal below 12%), Specification Notes:
Material above 15% moisture will compress poorly and may produce briquettes that break apart or burn inefficiently — pre-drying may be needed if your waste is freshly generated.
- Specification Name:
Hopper Capacity, Specification Value:
0.6 m³
- Specification Name:
Noise Level, Specification Value:
~75 dB
- Specification Name:
Operating Temperature, Specification Value:
Ambient +5 to +35 °C; oil working temp up to ~60 °C, Specification Notes:
Not suitable for unheated spaces in winter without adequate insulation — below +5 °C the hydraulic oil may not perform correctly.
- Specification Name:
Machine Weight, Specification Value:
~385 kg, Specification Notes:
Below the threshold where structural floor loading is typically a concern, but confirm with your building if the machine will sit on a mezzanine or raised floor.
- Specification Name:
Suitable Input Materials, Specification Value:
Sawdust, wood shavings, dry wood chips, carpentry waste
- Specification Name:
Machine Dimensions, Specification Value:
Contact IWM for confirmation, Specification Notes:
Allow additional clearance around the hopper for filling access and around the outlet for briquette collection — speak to us and we will confirm the exact footprint before you plan your installation.
- Specification Name:
Manufacturer, Specification Value:
BRIKLIS, spol. s r.o.

A compact hydraulic briquetting press for small joinery and carpentry shops that want a simple, low-cost way to convert dry wood waste into usable fuel. Single-switch operation, a modest footprint, and a low electrical load make it a practical first step into briquetting.
