The Steel Chip Compactor, also known as metal briquetting press, metal briquetting machine, metal chips briquetting press, or metal chip briquetter. It is specially designed to compress steel chips (including iron chips, steel slag, etc.) generated during machining, cutting, grinding, etc. under high pressure to form regular, compact cake-shaped agglomerates. This process not only greatly reduces the volume of scrap metal, but also improves the convenience and efficiency of its handling. The metal briquetting press uses hydraulic systems or other mechanical forces to tightly combine loose steel chips to form cake-shaped solids that are easy to store, transport and reuse.
Significant space optimization:
The ENERPAT® steel chip compactor significantly reduces the space occupied by scrap steel chips. After compression, the volume of originally loose steel scraps can be reduced by up to 85%, greatly optimizing storage space, reducing warehouse storage costs, and improving the storage environment.
Enhance economic value:
Steel scraps compressed into cakes often command higher prices than loose steel scraps due to their dense shape and higher density. This not only increases the recycling value of scrap steel chips, but also brings additional economic benefits to the company.
Efficient coolant recovery:
The ENERPAT® metal chips briquetting press is equipped with an advanced filtration system that effectively separates and recovers cutting fluid or coolant during the compression process. This recovered coolant can be reused in machining processes, reducing the company’s coolant costs and reducing the environmental burden associated with waste liquid disposal.
Reduce transportation costs:
Since the volume and weight of steel chips after being pressed into cakes are greatly reduced, this directly reduces the cost of transportation. More compact packaging reduces the number of loading and transportation times in transport vehicles, improves transportation efficiency, and reduces carbon emissions caused by transportation.
Environmentally friendly processing:
ENERPAT® metal chip briquetter significantly reduces waste generation by promoting the recycling and reuse of scrap metal. This helps reduce environmental pollution and supports sustainable production and circular economy models. At the same time, soil and water pollution that may be caused by improper scrap metal disposal is reduced.
Improve production efficiency:
In some industrial scenarios, such as the foundry industry, the steel scrap briquettes after using pressed cakes can be directly sent to the furnace for melting, which shortens the melting time and improves the utilization rate and production efficiency of the furnace. In addition, the compression-formed steel chip cake is also convenient for mechanized operation, further improving the automation level of the production line.
Improve the working environment:
Our steel chip compactors effectively reduce the scattering and flying of scrap steel chips, improving the working environment in the workshop. This is not only beneficial to the health and safety of employees, but also improves the cleanliness and production efficiency of the workshop.
