POR Machines: Market-leaders in briquetting technology

Briquette Press Machines compress raw materials like wood shavings, chips and dust into small log shaped carbonneutral fuel sources and have grown in popularity since The Clean Air Strategy 2019 announcement. This introduced the subsequent banning of the burning and sale of wet wood from 2021, impacting many companies nationwide.

The Italian recycling company, POR Micucci Systems, appointed UK-based A & G Toseland as their exclusive distributor and re-seller of briquetting and shredding machinery across UK and Irish markets. These machines are ideally designed for small to medium sized companies to convert wood waste into a saleable product or useable internal fuel resource.

A & G Toseland Ltd was established in 1992 by founding director George Toseland. The familyowned business is based in Kettering and supplies an extensive range of industry-leading POR Micucci machines. Renowned across the recycling sector, they are exceptionally costeffective and precision-designed to convert dust and other loose materials into a valuable resource, negating the need for landfill. To date, over 400 machines have been sold across UK and Ireland, signalling a clear growth trajectory in this area.

“We have installed a briquetting machine for demonstration purposes at our Kettering facility, with new customers always welcome to trial materials for potential fuel sources or waste stream management. We work with wood-fuelled power stations that repurpose dust into a fuel source to power the station. Many of our customers come from the wood industry or print and packaging sector and are looking to repurpose wood or dust or make it more handable for waste management,” explains George.

The POR Micucci briquetting machines are built to high Italian engineering specifications, using superior components and assembly processing. In line with Industry 5.0 and the circular economy, they are designed for longevity, with minimised maintenance and downtime. All machines include: level sensors, inspection doors with viewing panels, remote controlled electric panels, superior oil quantity and quality, adjustable vices to maximise pressure and variable control of the loading drawer, to suit compatibility with a range of materials.

The range of machines includes the following models: • Junior• A6• A6 plus• Standard• A100N• Oscar Plus• Super Oscar

“We provide a fully comprehensive sales and aftercare programme to all our customers. From initial inquiry to site surveys and consultations, we offer full installation from our skilled engineers, with training and handling and maintenance throughout the machine’s lifespan. Our product range is designed to suit all budgets and capabilities and we are more than happy to advise on the correct one for different material.
