Metal Chip Cake Press

What is a metal shavings compression molding machine

Box-type metal chip press cake machine is a box-type compact design of metal scrap processing equipment, through the hydraulic system will be iron, aluminum, copper and other metal shavings high-pressure compression into high-density round or square cake, to achieve the volume reduction of 70% -90%, easy to store and transport and reduce the cost of recycling, and at the same time is equipped with a waste liquid collection device to achieve oil-liquid separation, with a small footprint, easy to operate, high degree of automation, significant benefits for the environment, etc. Features are machining, foundry, automobile manufacturing and other industries to achieve the resourcefulness of metal scrap and green production core equipment. With the features of small footprint, easy operation, high degree of automation, environmental protection and significant benefits, it is the core equipment for metal waste resourceization and green production in the industries of machining, casting, automobile manufacturing and so on.

Why Are Metal Chips Such a Special Problem for You?

Loose metal chips and turnings are one of the most difficult types of industrial waste to manage. Unlike larger pieces of scrap, these fine particles are incredibly bulky. A large pile of metal chips is mostly air. This means they take up a huge amount of floor space in your workshop. They are also messy. They can get everywhere, creating a dirty and unsafe work environment. Sharp chips can be a hazard to your employees.

Furthermore, these chips are almost always soaked in expensive cutting fluids and coolants. When you dispose of this scrap, you are throwing away that fluid. This is a direct financial loss. Transporting this bulky, low-density material is also very inefficient and costly. You are essentially paying to ship air. Because of their messy nature and low density, loose metal chips have a very low value on the scrap market. Many businesses find that just getting rid of them is a major expense.

How Does a Metal Chip Briquetting Machine Solve This Problem?

Our metal chip briquetting machine tackles these problems head-on by transforming the physical state of your scrap. It uses a powerful hydraulic system to apply immense pressure to the chips. This pressure squeezes out all the air and liquid. It forces the tiny metal particles to bind together. The result is a dense, dry, solid block of metal. This process is fully automated with our advanced PLC control system. You simply feed the chips in, and the machine produces uniform, high-density briquettes.

This transformation has immediate benefits. The volume of your scrap is reduced by as much as 90%. This frees up a huge amount of valuable floor space. The briquettes are clean, dry, and easy to handle. You can stack them neatly on pallets. This makes your workshop safer and much more organized. The high density also makes them far more efficient to transport and more desirable for foundries. Simply put, our machine takes your biggest scrap headache and turns it into an easy-to-manage, valuable asset. Find out more about the general process in our guide on what a metal briquetting machine is.

Working Principle of Metal Chip Briquetting Machine

Box-type metal chip press cake machine is a set of efficient compression and environmental protection treatment in one of the metal waste molding equipment, which adopts a closed box structure, through the hydraulic system drive the press head of iron chips, aluminum chips and other metal shavings to apply high pressure, rapid compression into a high-density cake and automatic demolding, the process of simultaneous separation of cutting fluid to realize the recycling of resources, with a small footprint, safe operation, the rate of reduction of more than 80% of the advantages of the rate and so on.

The Critical Benefit: Recovering Your Valuable Cutting Oil

One of the biggest advantages of a metal chip briquetting machine is its ability to recover cutting fluids. When the machine applies hundreds of tons of pressure, it doesn’t just squeeze out air. It also squeezes out almost all the oil and coolant clinging to the chips. Our machines are designed with an integrated collection system. This system captures all the extracted fluid.

This recovered fluid can then be filtered and reused in your CNC machines. You can recover up to 95% of the cutting fluids that were previously being thrown away. For a busy machine shop, this can add up to thousands of dollars in savings every month. You drastically reduce the amount of new, expensive cutting oil you need to purchase. You also turn an environmental liability—oily waste—into a clean, recyclable product. This single feature often provides a rapid return on investment for the machine. It is a win for your finances and a win for the environment.

Why choose a metal chip cake press

Firstly, it can compress discarded metal shavings into circular cakes under high pressure, greatly reducing the volume of waste and facilitating storage and transportation. Secondly, during the compression process, the metal cake press can also recover the cutting fluid from the metal chips, effectively preventing the splashing of the cutting fluid and protecting the environment. In addition, the automation level of the metal cake press is very high, the operation is simple, the processing efficiency is high, and there is no need for specialized training personnel. The metal cake press is controlled by a computer and has the characteristics of high automation, low failure rate, and convenient maintenance.

The application scope of metal chip cake press

Suitable for iron filings, aluminum filings, steel filings, alloy filings, cast iron filings, iron concentrate powder, magnesium powder, and other metal filings. The compressed waste metal filings form a cake shape, which is not only convenient for workshop packaging, stacking, and transportation, but also greatly improves the efficiency of the furnace when the cake is returned to the furnace for reconstruction. Widely used in industrial sites such as landfills, recycling plants, steel plants, metallurgical plants, etc., it is one of the important equipment in copper iron plants, non-ferrous metal plants, and smelters.

Metal chip press has become the core equipment for industrial metal waste treatment, promoting the industry chain to green and efficient upgrading. With the deepening of the “double carbon” policy, its application will be extended to new energy, electronic information and other emerging fields, helping enterprises to realize the dual goals of cost reduction and efficiency and environmental compliance.
