In the global metal recycling industry, the Metal Briquetting Machine has emerged as a revolutionary technology, transforming fragmented metal waste into high-density, transportable briquettes. This equipment addresses critical challenges in resource conservation, logistics optimization, and environmental protection by compressing loose metal scraps—such as steel shavings, aluminum chips, copper filings, and even entire car shells—into compact blocks without additives or heating. Its applications span steel mills, automotive dismantling plants, and non-ferrous metal smelters worldwide, driving circular economy practices across continents.

What is a metal briquetting machine

The metal chip pressing machine can directly cold press powdered cast iron chips, steel chips, copper chips, aluminum chips, high-quality mineral powder, etc. into cakes for storage, transportation, and furnace recycling and reuse. After being compressed into blocks, the loss for recycling in the furnace is extremely low. The entire production process does not require heating, additives, or other processes, and is directly cold pressed into shape, ensuring that the original material remains unchanged while forming. For example, using cast iron filings instead of cast pig iron after forming. For castings made of special materials, recycling has greater significance.

• Target Materials: Bulky scrap (e.g., car bodies, steel beams, aluminum cans, oil drums).
• Versatile Shaping: Produces cubes, cylinders, or octagons for optimized furnace charging.
• High Throughput: Processes 5–50 tons/shift, with dual-ram models handling mixed-material streams.
• Mobility: Diesel-powered variants operate in remote areas without grid access.

Metal Scrap Briquetting Machine Product Features

1. All models of metal packaging machines are hydraulic driven (or diesel driven);
2. Scrap metal briquetting machine：The discharge form of the machine body can be selected through different methods such as flipping, pushing, or manual pickup;
3. hydraulic baler：Easy to install, without the need for foot fixation, diesel engines can be used for power in areas without power supply;
4. There are ten levels of extrusion pressure from 63 tons to 400 tons for users to choose from, with production efficiency ranging from 5 tons per shift to 50 tons per shift;

Global Market Trends

• Asia-Pacific Dominance: China and India account for 45% of global production, driven by infrastructure booms and automotive manufacturing.
• European Precision: German and Italian manufacturers lead in high-end models, exporting to 60+ countries with 98% customer satisfaction rates.
• North American Demand: The U.S. recycling sector invests $200 million annually in briquetting tech to meet EPA emissions standards.

Product Features of Metal Forming Machines

1. Hydraulic metal chip pressing machine is mainly used to press various metal chips (iron chips, copper chips, aluminum chips, etc.), powdery metal powder (iron powder, aluminum powder, copper powder, lead powder, etc.), smelting additives, sponge iron, etc. into high-density cylindrical cake blocks (weighing 2-8 kilograms) without adding any adhesive. The cake block density can reach 5T/M3 or above (the density of the pressed cake blocks varies depending on the raw material). The pressed cake blocks can be directly put into the furnace for use, and the cast iron grade can reach HT200-250, saving costs of about 700 yuan per ton of casting.
2. Forming machine metal：Adopting advanced hydraulic transmission technology and high-quality wear-resistant oil seals, the oil cylinder is processed and assembled using the latest high-tech technology in China, ensuring continuous operation without reducing cylinder pressure, durability, and smooth operation; Computer control, high degree of automation, low failure rate, easy maintenance, etc.

Aluminum chip metal briquette machine is widely used

Hydraulic packaging machines can extrude various metal waste materials (such as scraps, shavings, scrap steel, scrap aluminum, scrap copper, scrap stainless steel, scrap cars, etc.) into qualified furnace materials in various shapes such as rectangular, octagonal, cylindrical, etc. This can not only reduce transportation and smelting costs, but also improve furnace feeding speed.

Metal forming machine manufacturers：Steel mills, recycling and processing industries, non-ferrous and ferrous metal smelting industries, and renewable utilization industries
