If your workshop generates shavings, dust, or offcuts, a briquette machine can turn that waste stream into something genuinely useful. By compressing dry wood waste under high pressure, these machines produce dense, slow-burning briquettes that work well in log burners, biomass boilers, and workshop heating systems.
The practical appeal is straightforward: you reduce skip costs and haulage, and you end up with a fuel source you can use on site or pass on. For heavier production environments, the output can be considerable enough to offset heating bills meaningfully.
Getting the right machine depends on your waste volumes, moisture content, and available floorspace. Talk to us and we can help you work out whether a briquette press makes sense for your operation, and which capacity suits your output.
Dust extraction is not optional in a working timber or joinery shop — it is a health and safety requirement. A good extractor removes dust, chips, and shavings at source, keeping the air breathable, the floor clear, and your machines running freely.
Units range from compact single-machine extractors to larger models capable of serving several machines simultaneously, or feeding into a central ducted system. The right choice depends on the number of machines you are running, the types of waste they produce, and the layout of your workshop.
If you are unsure whether a standalone unit or a central extraction arrangement suits your situation better, talk to us. With long experience specifying extraction for workshops of all sizes, we can help you avoid both under-specifying and unnecessary over-spend.

Businesses producing wood waste at a modest but consistent rate — typically under 25 kg per hour at the press — where a larger machine would be underused
- This Product List:
- List Item:
Your workshop generates a modest, consistent volume of dry wood waste — the Falach 20's 10–25 kg/hr capacity will be a good match rather than an over-specified machine sitting largely idle
- List Item:
Floor space is constrained and you need the smallest practical footprint in the Falach range
- List Item:
You only have single-phase power available, or prefer a lower electrical draw — the single-phase version of this machine makes it accessible without rewiring
- List Item:
You want a continuously-rated press for steady daytime use without the cost or complexity of a larger hydraulic unit
- Alternate List:
- List Item:
You need additional height clearance for your extraction or feeding arrangement — the <a href="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=15&catid=13">Falach 20XL</a> shares the same floor footprint (1250 × 740 mm) but stands 330 mm taller, which may suit certain installations better
- List Item:
Your waste volume regularly exceeds 25 kg/hr — the <a href="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=19&catid=13">Falach 50XL</a>, rated at 40–60 kg/hr, would be a more appropriate specification and avoid the press running at or beyond its upper limit
- List Item:
You anticipate running the machine in a warm environment or for very long continuous shifts — in that case it is worth discussing your shift pattern with us before specifying, so we can confirm the machine is a good fit

- List Item:
You are comfortable with manual hopper feeding and operator supervision, and do not need automated features to justify the investment
- Alternate List:
- List Item:
You need higher throughput — the Falach 35 (30–40 kg/hour) or Falach 50 (40–60 kg/hour) would be more appropriate if waste volumes are consistently higher, and the Falach 50 also adds an oil cooler and automatic agitator as standard
- List Item:
Your workshop generates lighter, more intermittent waste and a smaller machine would suffice — the Falach Cube 20 (10–25 kg/hour, 30 × 30 mm square briquette) may be worth discussing with us instead
- List Item:
You require an oil cooler for sustained heavy-duty runs or automated features such as an agitator or automatic switch-out to reduce operator involvement — talk to IWM about which Falach models carry these as standard

Your waste volumes are lower or intermittent — the <a href="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=19&catid=13">Falach 50XL</a> (40–60 kg/hour) or <a href="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=17&catid=13">Falach 35</a> (30–40 kg/hour) may be better matched to your actual throughput
- List Item:
Floor space is limited — the <a href="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=14&catid=13">Falach 20</a> or <a href="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=15&catid=13">Falach 20XL</a> has a significantly smaller footprint (L 1250 × W 740 mm) and may suit a tighter workshop layout
- List Item:
You are running a single-phase supply and cannot easily upgrade — the electrical requirement here is 3-phase 32 amp, which some smaller workshops cannot accommodate
- List Item:
Your budget or waste volume does not justify the step up from a smaller Falach model — talk to us and we will help you calculate whether the throughput gain is worth it for your situation

Shredders handle the first stage of most wood-waste recycling processes, breaking down offcuts, trim, pallets, and general timber waste into a manageable form. The shredded material can be stored more easily, fed into a briquette or pellet press, or used directly as a fuel or biomass feedstock.
Where space and handling are concerns on a busy factory or warehouse floor, shredding makes a practical difference — reducing bulk significantly before any further processing takes place.
If you are putting together a waste-handling system or simply need to deal with a particular type of wood waste more efficiently, talk to us about which shredder configuration would suit your output volumes and material types.
