2500kN Hydraulic Scrap Briquetting Press

Φ100×50-80mm Briquettes for Metal Recycling

Product Overview

The Y83-2500 Hydraulic Scrap Metal Briquette Press is a compact and efficient scrap briquetting machine designed for processing cast iron chips, steel turnings, aluminum chips, copper chips and various metal swarf generated during machining operations.

By applying a powerful 2500kN hydraulic force, loose metal chips are compressed into high-density cylindrical briquettes, significantly reducing storage space and transportation costs while improving metal recovery efficiency during remelting.

This hydraulic scrap briquetting press is widely used by foundries, machining workshops, metal recycling facilities, automotive component manufacturers and industrial metal processing plants seeking to maximize the value of metal waste.

Cause

Metal chips and machining swarf create several challenges for manufacturers and recyclers:

• Large storage requirements

• High transportation costs

• Material loss during handling

• Low melting efficiency

• Environmental contamination from cutting fluids

• Difficult inventory management

Loose metal chips often occupy valuable workshop space while generating lower resale value compared to dense briquettes.

Solution

The Y83-2500 Scrap Briquetting Press converts loose metal chips into compact cylindrical briquettes through hydraulic compression.

Benefits include:

• Increased scrap density

• Reduced transportation volume

• Improved furnace charging efficiency

• Higher metal recovery rates

• Cleaner production environment

• Reduced storage space requirements

• Easier handling and logistics

The machine utilizes a stable hydraulic drive system with low vibration and reliable operation, making it suitable for continuous industrial production.

How It Works

1. Loose metal chips are fed into the compression chamber.

2. The hydraulic system generates high-pressure compression force.

3. Metal chips are compacted into dense cylindrical briquettes.

4. The briquettes are automatically discharged.

5. Finished briquettes are collected for transportation or remelting.

The entire process reduces material volume while increasing density and material value.

How To Choose

When selecting a scrap briquetting press, buyers should consider:

Material Type

Different materials such as cast iron, steel, aluminum and copper have different compression characteristics.

Production Capacity

Estimate daily or hourly metal chip generation to determine the required machine capacity.

Briquette Size Requirement

Select briquette dimensions based on furnace charging requirements and transportation considerations.

Automation Level

Manual operation is suitable for smaller workshops, while PLC semi-automatic operation improves efficiency for larger facilities.

Future Expansion

Choose equipment with sufficient capacity margin to accommodate future production growth.
