The BrikStar hydraulic briquetting plant is ideal for storing and compacting of high-cellulose waste dust

Storing and disposing of non-compacted dust is not only expensive but also potentially dangerous. Hydraulic briquetting presses simplify, without adding any binding agents, the disposal of your high cellulose-content production waste, and briquetting is safe and economical.

The extreme compacting of the raw material of about up to 90 % has a lasting effect in reducing your costs of storage and disposal to a minimum. Unlike to the fine particles of paper dust, the pellets can be disposed of easily and inexpensively. A high throughput (20-100 kg/hour) is possible no matter whether the material is light or coarse.

Managing Partner

Höcker Polytechnik was founded 1962 by Günther Höcker. Since then the “dust collection systems” produced in Hilter have developed into a modern medium-sized family company with about 200 employees.

Since 14 years Frank Höcker is now managing partner of the company. Höcker Polytechnik is market leader in dust collection and filter installations as well as pneumatic conveying systems for the paper- and cardboard industry in Germany. Nevertheless the export quota of Höcker Polytechnik is about 45% with focus on west and east Europe.

In Poland the company is represented since 1990 with an 80% owned subsidiary, producing units for the air purification. In the Czech Republic they have a minority holding in a company manufacturing briquetting presses sold by Höcker Polytechnik. To extend their lead concerning control systems for air purification installations Höcker Polytechnik took a share of 40% in FlowChief GmbH in Erlangen/Germany.

The rising sales in the last years basically attributes to overseas orders. The largest customer is the wood-working industry, followed by paper industries and air technologies for waste disposing and recycling systems. The expected sales for 2007 will be approx. 30 Mio. EUR.
