C.F. Nielsen – From waste to value

C.F. Nielsen was founded more than 135 years ago in 1889, as a local forge. C.F. Nielsen later evolved and became an engineering company that has specialized in briquetting technology for more than 80 years. Today the company is recognised as one of the world’s leading suppliers of mechanical briquetting solutions.

As we see a growing focus on sustainability and circular economy principles, efficient use of wood resources, waste handling and other has become more important than ever. C.F. Nielsen supplies complete briquetting solutions that help companies maximise the value of their by-products while reducing waste and thereby support overall sustainable goals.

With installations worldwide and more than eight decades of briquetting expertise, we are proud to support customers across both wood, agri and waste industries. We offer a wide range of briquetting lines with capacities from 200kg/h up to 3500kg/h per single press.

Turning Wood Waste Fines into High-Value Energy

As the waste wood industry continues to evolve, the utilisation of wood waste fines is receiving increasing attention. Rising disposal costs and changing market conditions are encouraging processors to find new ways to create value from this challenging fraction.

At C.F. Nielsen, we see wood waste fines not as a disposal issue, but as an opportunity.

Our briquetting presses enable waste wood processors to convert low-value fines into high-density briquettes suitable as industrial fuel, creating additional value while reducing handling and disposal costs.

Key benefits include:

• Payback often less than a year
• Lower quality fines will transform from waste to value
• Can be sold as industrial fuel
• Removes landfill costs
• Decreasing transport costs

Compared with pellet production, mechanical briquetting offers greater flexibility when processing lower-quality and heterogeneous materials, including demolition wood, MDF residues and RDF fractions.
