Metal Scrap Briquette Press
Brass Chips Briquetting Press
The Vertical Brass Chips Briquetting Machine compresses loose brass turnings and CNC chips into high-density briquettes for easier storage, transport, and furnace recycling. It improves metal recovery while recovering valuable cutting fluids and reducing workshop waste.
Key Highlights:
- High-density briquettes for better melting efficiency
- Compact vertical design saves workshop space
- 95–98% cutting fluid recovery system
- PLC automatic hydraulic operation
The Brass Chips Briquetting Machine is a high-pressure hydraulic system designed to compress loose brass turnings, shavings, and machining chips into dense, solid briquettes for efficient recycling and furnace charging.
It is widely used in CNC machining workshops, brass component factories, valve manufacturing plants, and metal recycling facilities where brass scrap is generated daily.
By converting loose and oily chips into compact blocks, the machine helps manufacturers reduce waste handling cost, improve melting efficiency, and significantly increase metal recovery rate.
Why Brass Chips Need Briquetting?
Brass chips generated from CNC machining are usually lightweight, oily, and difficult to manage.
Without briquetting, factories face:
❌ High furnace oxidation loss (up to 20–30%)
❌ Large storage space occupation
❌ Coolant oil leakage and environmental issues
❌ Low and unstable melting efficiency
❌ Increased transportation cost
After briquetting:
✔ Volume reduced by up to 90%
✔ Stable furnace charging material
✔ Higher metal recovery rate
✔ Cleaner and safer workshop environment
✔ Reusable cutting fluid recovery
Vertical Hydraulic Design Advantage
The machine adopts a vertical hydraulic compression structure, which is optimized for CNC workshop layouts.
👉 The vertical structure is not just a design choice, but a space-saving industrial optimization solution for modern workshops.
Working Principle
The machine operates through a fully hydraulic automated cycle:
- Feeding System – Brass chips are loaded into the hopper
- Vertical Compression – Hydraulic ram applies 100–300 tons pressure
- Oil Separation – Cutting fluid is extracted during pressing
- Briquette Formation – Chips are compressed into high-density blocks
- Automatic Ejection – Finished briquettes are discharged for furnace use
The entire process is controlled by a PLC automation system, ensuring stable pressure and continuous operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can this machine handle long, tangled brass chips?
Yes, but a chip crusher is recommended before briquetting for best performance.
Q2: How much cutting fluid can be recovered?
Up to 95–98% of coolant and oil can be extracted and reused.
Q3: Does it require binding materials?
No, high hydraulic pressure compresses brass chips without any binder.
Q4: Is installation complicated?
No. The machine is self-supported and only requires a flat concrete floor.
