RUF Maschinenbau – Global Leader in Briquetting Systems “Made in Germany”
As a family-run company with over 40 years of experience, we are pioneers and global market leaders in the field of briquetting systems. At our headquarters in Zaisertshofen, Bavaria, more than 190 employees design and manufacture modular hydraulic, mechanical, and extruder briquetting systems – customized for wood, metal, biomass, and many other materials.
Our Mission: Turning Residuals into Resources
Our briquetting presses transform production waste into valuable briquettes. The benefits: significant volume reduction, lower storage and transport costs, recovery of cooling lubricants, increased melting yields, and additional revenue from sellable end products.
Technical Diversity & Process Optimization
We offer a wide range of solutions – from compact plug-and-press units to fully automated 24/7 briquetting systems. Our machines are energy-efficient, durable, and easily integrated into existing production lines.
Sustainability & Quality by Conviction
Sustainability is at the core of our philosophy. Our presses reduce waste, optimize material cycles, and improve environmental performance. We also operate our own photovoltaic system that generates more energy than we consume. “Power made in Germany” stands for premium quality, high in-house manufacturing depth, and long-lasting machines with low wear.
