German wood briquetting, shredding and boiler technology was the thrust of woodworking machinery supplier JJ Smith’s marketing efforts at Ecobuild.
With timber frame volumes down, JJ Smith decided to show a Hocker Brikstar briquetter and show how companies can save on their woodwaste costs while also make a wood fuel product.
Hocker briquetters start at about £15,000, while a briquetter and Untha shredder is priced around £35,000.
“There are still a lot of woodworking companies out there putting their waste wood in a skip and it going to landfill,” said director Martin Smith.
