Fully Automatic Metal Briquetting Line
Overview: Optimize Your Scrap Metal Workflow UT Machinery’s fully automatic metal briquetting line is designed for CNC machining centers, metal recyclers, and industrial scrap facilities worldwide. Our integrated system synchronizes chip crushing, centrifugal deoiling, and high-pressure briquette pressing into a seamless production flow, delivering high ROI and operational efficiency. This line converts messy, oily metal chips into furnace-ready briquettes, while recovering valuable cutting fluids and reducing labor and handling costs. The 4-Stage UT Briquetting Process Stage 1: Heavy-Duty Chip Crushing Shears long, curly metal swarf into uniform 10–30 mm fragments. Reinforced alloy knife rollers prevent jams and maintain consistent feed for the press. Integrated tramp metal release protects blades from solid contaminants. Stage 2: High-Speed Centrifugal Deoiling Uses extreme G-force to remove residual oils and coolants. Produces clean, dry chips ready for immediate smelting. Ensures minimal smoke or oil leakage in the workshop. Stage 3: Smart Buffer Silo with Anti-Bridging System Mechanical arch-breaking device prevents bridging or clogging. PLC-monitored feeding guarantees smooth, continuous operation. Supports 24/7 automated production with minimal labor. Stage 4: High-Pressure Hydraulic Briquette Press Cold-presses metal particles into solid briquettes. Density: 6–8 t/m³ (material-dependent). Smelting Yield: Briquettes submerge instantly, reducing oxidation burn-off by up to 15%. Streamlines storage and logistics by compressing metal scrap efficiently. Key Advantages for Industrial Metal Recycling 01 Premium Scrap Value: High-density, dry briquettes fetch higher prices at smelters. 02 Cost Savings: Recover coolant, reduce transport volume, and lower labor requirements. 03 Environmental Compliance: Prevent oil leakage, support ESG and zero-waste initiatives. 04 Industrial Durability: Wear parts made from hardened alloy steel for long service life.
