We are passionately committed to creating products for sustainable development.
Proudly Made in Italy.
For fifty years, we have been transforming shavings into resources.
We are well aware of just how problematic and complex it can be to manage metal shavings, dust, scrap, and other waste generated by industrial manufacturing processes. This is the basis for COMAFER’s commitment to offering efficient, reliable, and custom-designed machines and systems that turn waste shavings into profit.
To design and build quality machines with the best performance, we have always followed the best possible path: OUR OWN.

Respect for the past—that’s what sets us apart

Our History
1975 — The Origins in Brescia
COMAFER was founded in 1975 in Brescia, by Luciano Peroni.
The first machine produced, the IDRA Series briquetting machine, marks the beginning of an industrial history spanning 50 years, built on manufacturing quality, reliability, and customer focus.
From the very beginning, the company focused on the compaction of waste materials, anticipating one of the most strategic challenges of modern industrial production: transforming processing residues from a problem into a resource.
Respect for the past—that’s what sets us apart
Fifty Years of Continuous Growth
Thanks to continuous investment in design and development, COMAFER has built a complete range of machines over time with cutting-edge technology and performance, capable of processing dozens of types of materials — from wood to metals, paper to textiles, and even biomass and plastic.
Today, our facility covers more than 1,800m², featuring a production department, an in-house Research & Development department, and a spare parts warehouse designed to provide support even for machines that have been out of production for many years.
COMAFER: a promise of quality.

Quality at the heart of everything
ISO 9001:2015 Certification
COMAFER has been UNI EN ISO 9001 certified since 1999. Certification is not a finish line, but a daily commitment: every machine that leaves our facility has passed rigorous testing to ensure maximum quality and reliability.
130 specific checks during the testing phase.
Our quality policy involves all levels of the organization: rigorous supplier selection, monitoring of assembly times, continuous staff training, and constant updating of operating procedures.
Components of Excellence
Our ongoing relationship with the most qualified suppliers allows us to use mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, and electronic components that are among the best available on the market. The result is a longer service life for our machines compared to the competition and lower maintenance costs for our customers.
Our philosophy
Customer Orientation
We prioritize the needs of the customer and the market. Every machine is born from listening to real production processes — woodworking shops, mechanical workshops, textile industries, large industrial plants — and is designed to respond precisely to the specific needs of those who will use it every day.
Sustainability and Circular Economy
Our machines promote the use of renewable energy and minimize environmental impact. Briquetting is not just an economic advantage: it is a concrete green choice that reduces the number of containers for disposal, cuts down on trips to collection centers, and recovers precious resources — such as metalworking fluids from metal shavings — that would otherwise be lost, providing autonomous heating (for natural materials) and a potential advantage in melting yield for foundries (for metallic materials).
The pillars of our corporate policy
01
Customer orientation and context analysis
We invest in the continuous improvement of our products to meet customer expectations in terms of energy savings and product quality.
02
Qualitative risk analysis
We carefully monitor operational and regulatory criticalities, analyzing risk factors to prevent complex situations and ensure a safe and efficient service.
03
Responsibility and leadership
Every member of the organization is responsible for their own duties. Coordinators promote the best collaboration among people.
04
Approach through processes and continuous improvement
Management defines indicators and objectives annually to measure and monitor processes, communicating the results achieved to the staff.
05
Relationships with collaborators and suppliers
We select high-level suppliers and collaborators, establishing clear and profitable relationships to ensure a constant quality of service.
06
Sustainability and recycling
Our machines promote the use of renewable energy and minimize environmental impact, demonstrating our commitment to a more sustainable future.
Research and Development
Customer needs are always at the center of our attention. For this reason, COMAFER has an internal Research & Development department where it is possible to carry out briquetting tests on all types of materials, and an internal technical office ready to satisfy customer requests, especially custom ones.
Do you have an unusual material you would like to briquette?
Can’t find it in our compatibility tables?
Send us a sample: our team will analyze the characteristics of the material and provide you with a personalized technical evaluation, indicating the most suitable model and optimal compaction parameters.
After-Sales Service
The quality of our after-sales service and testing is ensured by highly qualified technicians and an extensive spare parts inventory, which allows us to provide service even for machines that have been out of production for many years.
We offer scheduled maintenance contracts to prevent the occurrence of problems and malfunctions, minimizing the time and costs associated with any breakdowns and achieving maximum operational efficiency over time.
We design and build industrial machinery and systems, but with the care of a craftsman. We’ve always done so.
Behind every Comafer machine and system lies more than just a collaborative effort in design and development: there are people who build them and test them with passion, responsibility, and pride, ensuring their quality at every stage of the process.
We design and manufacture technologically advanced machines and systems, without ever compromising on the care and attention to detail that characterize our work.
This is our approach to manufacturing: combining technology, experience, and production organization with the passion and artisanal craftsmanship that have always set “Made in Italy” apart.
Your problem is unique. So is our solution.
For this reason, COMAFER has an in-house Research and Development department where briquetting tests can be conducted on all types of materials, under real-world conditions and using the machines available in its product line.
