Metal Briquette Machine

Metal Briquette Machine | ECOHYDRAULIC Manufacturer & Supplier in China

The Metal Briquette Machine designed and manufactured by ECOHYDRAULIC is an advanced hydraulic system engineered for compacting metal chips, swarf, and turnings into high-density briquettes. With more than 30 years of manufacturing experience since 1997, ECOHYDRAULIC has become a reliable China manufacturer and supplier of metal briquetting equipment, serving global recycling, foundry, and metallurgy industries.

Metal Scrap Recycling Challenges in Industrial Production

In modern machining and metal processing workshops, large volumes of metal chips and swarf are generated daily. Without proper treatment, these waste materials create several operational and economic problems.

Common Pain Points

• Metal chips take too much storage space and quickly fill workshop areas
• Loose scrap increases transportation cost due to low density and high volume
• Oil-containing chips reduce recycling efficiency and complicate handling
• Direct melting of loose chips leads to material loss and energy waste

These challenges make metal waste management inefficient and costly, especially for large-scale manufacturing plants.

Hydraulic Metal Briquetting Solution

The ECOHYDRAULIC Metal Briquette Machine provides an efficient hydraulic compaction solution for converting loose metal chips into dense, uniform briquettes. The system uses high-pressure hydraulic force to compress materials such as steel chips, aluminum swarf, cast iron filings, and copper shavings without adding binders.

Working Principle

The machine operates through a vertical or horizontal hydraulic pressing system. Metal chips are first fed into the chamber, where hydraulic cylinders apply high pressure to compress the material. Oil and coolant are separated during the process, improving both environmental performance and recycling efficiency. The final output is a compact briquette that is easy to store, transport, and remelt.

Application Industries

The ECOHYDRAULIC Metal Briquette Machine is widely used in global industrial production environments where metal waste recycling is required.

Typical Applications

• Machining workshops and CNC production facilities
• Steel and casting foundry industries
• Aluminum recycling and processing plants
• Copper and non-ferrous metal recovery systems
• Automotive parts manufacturing industry

By integrating briquetting systems into production lines, factories can significantly reduce waste handling cost and improve recycling value.

Briquetting vs Traditional Metal Waste Handling

Loose Chips vs Briquettes

Loose metal chips occupy large storage space and are difficult to transport efficiently. After briquetting, the material volume can be reduced by up to 90%, making logistics and storage significantly more cost-effective.

Briquetting vs Direct Melting

Direct melting of loose chips often leads to oxidation loss and unstable furnace efficiency. In contrast, briquettes produced by ECOHYDRAULIC machines have higher density, lower moisture content, and improved melting yield.
