This Nord is a wood press — also known as a briquetting press — designed for the continuous production of charcoal briquettes from wood-derived material. Rather than a standalone machine, this is a complete briquetting plant: a fully integrated production line encompassing feeding, mixing, pressing, drying, and finished-product handling, built around the Nord NL-BM 200 warm air generator.
The line begins at a feeding hopper and material loading conveyor, which deliver raw material to a 600-litre belt helix paddle mixer manufactured by Eberhard Bauer. From there, a conveyor belt carries the mixed material to the press, which is equipped with its own hopper and produces briquettes measuring 30 × 40 mm. The plant is rated to process between 2.5 and 4 tonnes of material per hour.
After pressing, briquettes travel on a conveyor belt into the first drying section, which consists of three stainless steel cooling belts manufactured by NIKO. Two of these belts measure 7 m × 1 m and one measures 3.6 m × 1 m, the latter supplied with its own housing. A further conveyor belt connects to a continuous oven drying line, which forms the thermal core of the system. This continuous furnace, manufactured by AIGLE Machine srl and operated via an integrated control cabinet, measures 17.5 m × 2.2 m × 2.3 m and is constructed in two sections of 8.5 m each. Transport through the oven is handled by a Kevlar belt with an internal working width of approximately 1.80 m. A sheet metal chute and removal conveyor then carry the dried briquettes to a BigBag filling conveyor, complete with a dedicated rack to receive the BigBags.
Heat for the drying process is supplied by the Nordluft warm air heater NL-BM 200, which delivers a nominal heat output of 180 kW and a warm air volume flow of 8,000 m³/h. The heater is fed from a wood chip bunker of approximately 10 m³ capacity, with a screw conveyor of approximately 3 m in length transporting fuel to the furnace. The system includes a feeding motor and ash screw, both rated at 3 × 400 V / 4.0 kW, along with an air heat exchanger with blower and approximately 30 m of insulated pipework.
The plant was manufactured in 2014 and is offered used from its current location in Germany. A second drying line referenced in the configuration is explicitly not included in this offer.
