SEM Briquetting Systems

While shredding sensitive documents eliminates security concerns, it doesn’t solve disposal issues — which is where briquetting systems come in. From small systems to room-size, fully automated processes, SEM briquettors reduce large volumes of loose waste into small, manageable — and fully recyclable — briquettes that are the cornerstone of SEM VKE Green systems.

What to Know About Briquetting Systems

Briquett Silo shadow 1000x1000

Briquettes

This is a briquette. A SEM briquettor compresses destroyed paper particles into compact pucks called briquettes, reducing total volume by about 90%! Unlike regular disintegrated paper waste, SEM briquettes are fully recyclable. (Fun fact: they can also be used as a fuel source! – campfire, anyone?)

Works With Any SEM Disintegrator

SEM briquetting systems are fully customizable to be compatible with any of SEM’s disintegrator options. That means whether you’re looking for a low volume solution like the SEM Model 1012/5 or a high volume solution like the Model 3000, a briquetting system can be combined to make a complete destruction system.

Value Kit Compatible and User Friendly

SEM Briquettors can be integrated into disintegrator value kits that includes a disintegrator, hour meter, push button controls, a visual load meter, sound enclosure, and air system.

Lower Your Carbon Footprint

When using a SEM briquettor waste can be reduced by up to 90% of the original volume size. But not only is the waste reduced, it also becomes recyclable, making the briquettor solution waste 100% green.

Federal Goals

SEM Briquettors can be used to count towards LEED points and other government mandates for sustainability goals first introduced in the early 2000s. Working on getting a higher rating? A SEM briquettor might be your answer.

Social Responsibility

SEM briquetting systems allow companies to meet their own internal targets for sustainability goals as well. It has never been more important to focus on where individuals and organizations can go more green. Reducing waste by 90%, lowering transportation costs, and making shredded material recyclable are just the tipping point of where you can begin.
