Cast Iron Swarf Briquetting Machine

Cast Iron Swarf Briquetting Machine | ECOHYDRAULIC Manufacturer, Supplier in China

The Cast Iron Swarf Briquetting Machine designed by ECOHYDRAULIC is a hydraulic recycling solution used for compressing loose cast iron chips, swarf, and machining residues into high-density briquettes. As a professional China manufacturer and supplier of metal recycling equipment since 1997, ECOHYDRAULIC provides industrial-grade briquetting systems that help foundries, machining workshops, and metal processing plants reduce waste volume, recover cutting fluids, and improve furnace efficiency.

What is Cast Iron Swarf Briquetting Machine?

Cast iron swarf generated during machining processes is often wet, loose, and difficult to store or transport. The briquetting machine uses high-pressure hydraulic compression to convert these low-density chips into compact blocks. This process not only reduces storage space but also increases metal recovery rate during remelting, making it an essential machine in modern metal recycling systems.

Working Principle

The system operates through a vertical or horizontal hydraulic pressing chamber. Cast iron chips are fed into the hopper, then compressed under high pressure without adding binders. During compression, cutting fluids are separated and collected for reuse or proper disposal.

• Hydraulic cylinder applies high pressure
• Metal chips are compressed into dense briquettes
• Coolant and cutting oil are separated automatically
• Finished briquettes are discharged for stacking or melting

Technical Advantages

With more than 30 years of manufacturing experience, ECOHYDRAULIC integrates advanced hydraulic technology and stable control systems to ensure continuous industrial operation. Each machine is designed for durability, energy efficiency, and high output stability.

Key Benefits

• Volume reduction ratio up to 8:1 or higher
