The scrap metal briquette machines efficiently compress and recycle metal scrap, finding widespread application in metal recycling, foundries, machinery manufacturing, and scrap metal processing industries.
This equipment compresses loose metal shavings, chips, and powdered metals into high-density metal blocks. It not only significantly reduces metal volume (by approximately 90%) but also effectively recovers cutting fluids, coolants, and emulsified oils. This enhances the recycling value of metal scrap while minimizing environmental pollution.
What are the applicable raw materials?
This metal briquetting machine is suitable for compacting various metal raw materials, including light metals such as aluminum and magnesium, non-ferrous metals like copper, brass, and bronze, as well as ferrous metal chips and scrap from steel and cast iron.
Additionally, it can process specialty materials such as alloy powders, grinding sludge, battery waste, and slag compounds. The equipment compresses these metal scraps into high-density metal ingots, providing an ideal raw material foundation for subsequent smelting or sale.
advantages of metal briquetting
- High-pressure forming, high density: utilizing a powerful hydraulic system to achieve high-pressure forming, resulting in dense and robust metal blocks.
- Resource recovery, cost reduction: effectively recovers cutting fluids, grinding oils, and other cooling liquids, minimizing waste and saving production costs for enterprises.
- Space-saving and transport-friendly: compacted metal reduces to 1/8 of its original volume, significantly lowering transportation and storage expenses.
- Enhanced economic benefits: high-density metal blocks can be sold directly to foundries or recycling smelters for higher recycling returns.
- Intelligent operation, safe and eco-friendly: the automated control system simplifies operation, minimizes manual intervention, and prevents pollution and safety hazards caused by metal dust dispersion.
finished product of scrap metal briquette machine
Metal briquetting machines produce finished briquettes with uniform shapes, high density, and oil content below 2%, facilitating stacking, transportation, and storage. The compressed metal blocks can be directly fed into furnaces for reuse, enhancing metal recovery rates while reducing energy consumption.
Additionally, the briquetting process effectively prevents metal shavings from scattering, maintaining a clean working environment and supporting enterprises in achieving green production.
How does the metal chip briquetting machine work?
Briquetting is a suitable process for dewatering or degreasing wet metal scraps. The working process of a scrap metal briquette machine is very simple, usually including the following steps:
- Feeding: feed raw materials come from scrap metal such as chips, shear chips, lathe chips, etc. produced by machining.
- Compression chamber filling: the metal chips will be cleaned, sorted, or crushed through the pre-treatment system to ensure the compression effect.
- Hydraulic compression: through the action of a hydraulic cylinder, the metal chips will be squeezed gradually to form high-density and compact blocks.
- Block product discharge: once the metal swarf has been compacted into blocks, the portal of the compression chamber opens, allowing the formed metal blocks to be discharged.
2 types of metal briquetting machine
Metal briquetting machine is mainly divided into two types, vertical and horizontal, according to their structural form.
Vertical scrap metal briquette machine is capable of efficient metal briquetting operations in a small footprint. It is usually suitable for sites with limited space, while its operation is easier to observe and maintain than the horizontal type.
Horizontal metal chip briquetting machines, which usually have a relatively large footprint, are suitable for some working environments that require a high degree of machine smoothness.
The choice of a vertical or horizontal metal briquetting machine usually depends on the specific job site and operational needs. There is no essential difference between the two in terms of briquetting effect and function. The main difference lies in the structural layout, so the choice needs to be based on the actual situation for comprehensive consideration.
