Metal Briquette Press Solution for CNC Metal Scrap Recycling
This solution provides an automated recycling workflow for CNC machining and metal processing plants to transform loose metal scrap (aluminum, steel, copper, cast iron) into high-density briquettes.
-
Cost Savings: Reduces scrap volume by 80%, cutting transport and storage costs.
-
Oil Recovery: Reclaims up to 90% of cutting fluids for reuse.
-
Higher Value: Increases scrap resale price by 40% due to improved melting efficiency.
-
Automation: Seamlessly integrates with CNC lines for 24/7 labor-free operation.
Solve Metal Scrap Handling Problems in Modern Workshops
In CNC machining, aluminum extrusion, and metal processing factories, large volumes of loose metal chips are generated every day. These scraps are difficult to handle, costly to transport, and often contaminated with cutting oil.
A metal briquette press solution converts loose metal chips into high-density briquettes, helping manufacturers reduce waste, recover valuable oil, and significantly increase scrap value.
This solution is especially suitable for factories dealing with aluminum chips, steel turnings, copper scrap, and cast iron filings.
Why Metal Scrap Recycling Fails in Many Factories
Many manufacturers struggle with inefficient scrap handling systems:
- Loose metal chips take up too much storage space
- Cutting fluid and oil leakage create safety and environmental risks
- Scrap sold at low prices due to poor form
- High transportation costs due to low density
- Manual handling reduces efficiency
Without a proper metal briquetting system, these problems continue to increase operational costs.
Solution Overview: Hydraulic Metal Briquette Press System
Our solution is centered around a hydraulic metal briquette press machine, combined with automated feeding and oil recovery systems to create a complete recycling workflow.
System Configuration:
- Metal Briquette Press Machine (100T–1000T)
- Automatic Conveyor Feeding System
- Chip Crusher (for long steel turnings)
- Oil/Coolant Collection & Filtration Unit
- Storage Hopper & Briquette Output System
How the Metal Briquetting Process Works
- Collection – Metal chips are collected from CNC machines
- Crushing (Optional) – Long chips are reduced into smaller pieces
- Feeding – Conveyor transports material into the press
- High-Pressure Compression – Chips are compacted into briquettes
- Oil Extraction – Coolant is squeezed out and recycled
- Output – Dense briquettes ready for storage or resale
Before vs After: Real Improvement
| Before Briquetting | After Briquetting |
