Make, Model & Classification
| Name | Briquette Press |
| Model | RUF Lignum |
| Classification | Compacting/Compressing |
Operations
| Description or Purpose | To process waste timber into high quality firewood or boiler fuel, reducing the need for this material to be sent to landfill for disposal |
| Operating Principles | Waste dry sawdust and shavings are transferred into the briquette press. The briquette press then compresses the material to produce a very high density briquette, that is an environmentally safe product to burn as domestic or industrial heating source |

Approvals Related to Use of Output
Important Note on Composting in NSW
In NSW, applying waste to land – including a processed waste such as compost - or using it as a fuel may trigger various regulatory requirements. Depending on the proposed use you may be required to comply with a Resource Recovery Exemption or need to hold an environment protection licence, and pay the waste levy.
While there is a Compost Exemption (2014) it is important to note that drying or dehydrating food waste, or any other compostable waste, is specifically excluded from consideration under this exemption. Drying or dehydrating equipment uses externally supplied energy to heat and ventilate food waste or any other compostable waste in order to rapidly dry the waste material over a short time period (typically 24 to 48 hours), either with or without the addition of an inoculum. If you are interested in this type of equipment you should refer to the resource recovery exemptions for information on lawful use of outputs.
If it is intended to use the material as a fuel, it must comply with the NSW Energy from Waste Policy Statement. http://www.epa.nsw.gov.au/waste/140056enfromwasteps.htm
