The Rising Demand for Sawdust Briquetting in Iraq
In recent years, Iraq has been exploring sustainable energy alternatives to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and manage agricultural waste more efficiently. One of the most promising solutions is sawdust briquetting, a process that transforms waste wood particles into dense, high-energy fuel briquettes. At Weiwa Machinery, we recently completed the shipment of our advanced sawdust extrude machine to Iraq, marking a significant step in supporting the region’s transition to cleaner energy.
How Sawdust Briquette Machine Works?

The Role of a Sawdust Extruder in Briquetting
A sawdust extrude machine is a critical component in the sawdust briquetting machine line. It compresses sawdust under high pressure and temperature, forming dense briquettes without the need for binders. The process involves:
- Feeding raw sawdust into the machine.
- Heating and compressing the material to remove moisture and bind particles.
- Extruding or molding the briquettes into uniform shapes (cylindrical, hexagonal, or square).
Our sawdust extruder is engineered for high efficiency and durability, making it ideal for Iraq’s diverse biomass sources, including woodworking waste, agricultural residues, and forestry byproducts.
Why Sawdust Briquettes?
Sawdust briquettes offer several advantages over traditional fuels:
- High calorific value (comparable to coal but cleaner).
- Reduced smoke and emissions when burned.
- Cost-effective alternative for households and industries.
- Waste management solution for Iraq’s woodworking and furniture sectors.
The Iraq Market Potential for Sawdust Briquetting Machines
Iraq’s Need for Sustainable Biomass Solutions
Iraq faces challenges such as:
- Limited fossil fuel efficiency in rural areas.
- Abundant agricultural and woodworking waste (sawdust, rice husks, etc.).
- Growing demand for clean cooking and heating fuels.
Our sawdust briquetting machine provides a localized solution, converting waste into a valuable energy resource while reducing landfill accumulation.
Government and Industrial Interest in Renewable Energy
Iraq’s government is increasingly supporting renewable energy projects, including biomass. Our sawdust extruder technology aligns with these goals by:
- Reducing carbon emissions.
- Creating job opportunities in biomass processing.
- Providing affordable fuel for households and small businesses.
How Weiwa’s Sawdust Briquette Machine Reached Iraq?
Customized Solution for Iraqi Clients
Before shipment, we worked closely with our Iraqi partners to ensure the sawdust extrude machine met their specific needs, including:
- Capacity requirements (tons per hour).
- Power supply compatibility (voltage and frequency adjustments).
- Local biomass characteristics (moisture content, particle size).
The Journey: From Factory to Installation Site
Our sawdust briquetting machine was carefully packaged and transported via:
- Land freight to the port (ensuring secure handling).
- Sea freight to Iraq (with proper moisture-proof packaging).
- On-site assembly and testing by our technicians.
The entire process was smooth, thanks to our experience in international biomass equipment deliveries.
Environmental & Economic Benefits for Iraq
Reducing Waste and Pollution
By converting sawdust into briquettes, Iraq can:
- Minimize open burning of agricultural waste.
- Lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to charcoal or coal.
- Promote cleaner air quality in urban and rural areas.
Economic Advantages for Local Communities
- Affordable fuel alternative for households.
- New business opportunities in briquette production.
- Export potential for surplus briquettes.
