Our scrap metal briquette machines are suitable for pressing aluminum, steel, cast iron, copper, and countless other metals. Expensive cooling lubricants, residual oils, and emulsions can be recovered, greatly increasing the value of metal scraps.
Briquettes can be made up to 90% smaller than loose metal scraps. A briquette press extracts harmful coolants from metal shavings, forming briquettes that usually contain less than 2% moisture.
With the special experience we have gained in the field of metal scrap recycling, we can offer briquetting solutions tailored to your specific requirements.
What are the applicable raw materials?
This machine is capable of briquetting a wide range of metals, including light metals like aluminum and magnesium, as well as copper, brass, and bronze. It can also handle waste from sawing and milling steel.
Additionally, it efficiently briquettes special alloys in powder form, slag compounds, battery waste, and grinding sludge from various materials. The briquetting process transforms metal shavings into dense briquettes, providing an ideal foundation for further processing or commercial sale of compressed metal chips.
advantages of metal briquetting
- High pressing pressure and high briquetting density.
- Generate additional income by selling briquettes to foundries at premium prices.
- Chip briquetting machines offer volume reduction ratios up to 8:1 for easy shipping.
- Save costs by reclaiming and reusing metal scrap, cutting fluids, grinding oils, and emulsions.
- Briquetting machinery reduces the risk of hazardous liability and enhances the recovery of cutting fluids.
finished product of scrap metal briquette machine
The finished product of the metal briquetting machine has the characteristics of high density, regular shape, easy stacking, and transportation. This reduces the transportation cost and improves the transportation efficiency of scrap metal. The shape and size of the finished product can be customized.
In addition, the finished block metal is convenient for subsequent metal recycling treatment. It can be directly used in smelting or other reuse processes, which promotes the effective use of resources. Finally, this machine helps to minimize the scattering and flying of metal chips, thus reducing the possibility of environmental pollution.
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.
