Maximize capacity while saving energy

What if your plant could raise its capacity or wood fibers’ caloric value without additional investments and excess thermal power investment? That is possible with Saalasti Press 1803. The machine is extremely energy efficient and offers long-time OpEx savings on energy costs.

Thanks to the new technology and modular structure, you do not need to invest more in heat production, which offers huge saving potential. This machine also offers the possibility to increase capacity modularly by adding machines in the same line.

More safe and environmentally-wise operation

In the squeezing process, also half of the suspended solids are removed. This reduces the amount of CO2 and volatile organic compounds (VOC) in air – and since the so-called blue haze emissions are minimized, the process is more environmentally friendly and safe for your employees.

With the press, you can also reduce or eliminate the use of fossil fuels as a biofuel – and save money and the environment.

The drying process reduces energy use and CO2 emissions.
