Industrial Shredders
& Briquette Presses

ADFC Industrial Shredders and Briquetting Systems convert bulky timber offcuts, pallets, paper, cardboard, and composite scrap into compact, valuable secondary resources.

Australian Dust & Fume Control is the exclusive Australian agent for GROSS Apparatebau GmbH in Germany, supplying a full range of industrial shredders using the latest European technology.

Our low-speed, high-torque shredders crush heavy timber beams and solid blocks quietly and efficiently with minimal dust generation. Integrated with our pneumatic extraction or screw conveyors, shredded material can be fed directly into automated briquetting presses to produce high-density solid fuel briquettes, reducing disposal skips and landfill costs by up to 90%.

  • Exclusive Australian partnership with GROSS Apparatebau GmbH (Germany)
  • Four-sided indexable concave cutting inserts made from high-strength alloy tool steel
  • Smart load-sensing hydraulic pusher ram automatically optimizing feed rates
  • Hydraulic briquette presses compacting wood shavings under 2,000+ bar pressure into fuel logs
