SEM HIGH VOLUME BRIQUETTER

The SEM Advantage - Performance Guaranteed

In matters of national security, the US Military and Federal Government rely on Security Engineered Machinery every day. SEM has been designing, building and installing document destruction systems for over 40 years. In addition to virtually every government agency and military base, more than 350 central bank facilities in 50 countries rely on SEM. This includes large facilities like the US Federal Reserve and the The People’s Bank of China, small facilities like the central banks of Tonga and Aruba, and every size in between. Comprehensive engineering, site planning, installation and maintenance services, ensure trouble-free performance, long service life and lowest possible cost of ownership.

Waste Reduction Solutions

While shredding currency and sensitive documents eliminates security concerns, it doesn't solve disposal issues. That's why we've introduced a new line of Eco-Saver™ Briquetting Systems. From small batch systems to room-size, totally automated processes, SEM Briquettors reduce large volumes of loose waste into small, manageable briquettes. Any SEM disintegrator (new or retrofit) can be paired with a briquetting system to provide the ultimate waste reduction solution.

Advantages of Briquetting

Without question the most obvious advantage of a briquetting system is the significant volume of waste reduction and the immediate savings in disposal cost. In the case of paper, it’s not uncommon to see waste volume reduced by 90%. Other benefits include:

• Reduced transportation costs
• Improved housekeeping due to the elimination of dust and paper shreds
• Reduced danger of combustion versus loose waste -
  Can be an alternative to certain fire prevention measures
• Briquettes have secondary value as heating source -
  Sell your waste rather than pay for it to be removed
• Briquetted, disintegrated classified waste can be handled by paper mills and has true recycling value

Components of a Typical Briquetting System

SEM Briquetting Systems include:

• Disintegrator for the reduction of paper from sheets to particles/li>
• Material Evacuation System - air evacuation of particle from disintegrator to collection hopper/li>
• Briquetting Press - includes a high pressure hydraulic ram to compact waste particle/li>
• Material Transfer Tubes - direct compacted briquettes from briquettor to waste collection boxes/li>
• Optional Sound Enclosure - reduces equipment noise levels to below 85 dB

Pre-Engineered Systems

There are literally hundreds of disintegrateor and briquettor combinations that can be create with SEM products. However, our experience proves that most applications can be accommodated by one of the three pre-engineered systems described below. If your application requires customization, out engineers will design a system specifically to suit your needs.
