Unlock Maximum Value from Your Metal Chips with the Wanshida Y83-500 Hydraulic Metal Briquetting Press.

The Wanshida Y83-500 Briquetting Press is a powerful and efficient solution for metal chip recycling and waste metal management. Designed to compress loose metal shavings, turnings, swarf, and powders from materials like steel, aluminum, copper, cast iron, and brass into dense, high-quality briquettes.

This heavy-duty briquetting machine drastically reduces waste volume, saves storage space, improves handling, and significantly increases the market value of your scrap. Recover valuable cutting fluids during the process, minimizing environmental impact and boosting your operational efficiency. Ideal for foundries, machining shops, automotive manufacturing, and metal processing plants seeking to optimize their scrap metal recovery and enhance profitability.

Key Benefits of the Y83-500 Briquetting Press:

• Maximized Scrap Value: Transforms low-value loose chips into high-density briquettes, commanding better prices.
• Significant Volume Reduction: Reduces chip volume by up to 90%, freeing up critical floor space.
• Coolant Recovery: Extracts and recycles valuable cutting fluids, leading to cost savings.
• Improved Handling & Safety: Briquettes are cleaner, easier to store, transport, and reduce fire hazards.
• Enhanced Melting Efficiency: Dense briquettes lead to less burn-off and slag during remelting.
• Durable & Reliable: Built with robust components for long-term, consistent performance in industrial settings.

• Motor Power: 40/45 kW (depending on configuration)
• Pressure on Briquet: 283-196 MPa (ensures high density)
• Briquette Density: Typically ≥5.0 T/m³ (tons per cubic meter)
• Operation Mode: Automatic (PLC Controlled, often with Omron system) or Manual
• Applicable Materials: Steel chips, Iron chips, Aluminum chips, Copper chips, Brass chips, etc.
• Bale Discharge: Push-out (common for briquettes)
• Control System: PLC automatic control for precise operation.

Application :
Under the situations that it is not heated or added with additives, the scrap metal briquette press is capable of pressing diversified granular and powdered materials into high density cylindrical briquettes that are hard to become loose. It processes the waste materials like scrap steel, cast iron, pig iron, aluminum ingot, waste copper, magnesium, titanium and molybdenum for secondary fusion instead of using them directly.

Our product makes it easy to recycle, smelt, store and transport the scraps. Moreover, it reduces the cost and melting loss so that the utilization rate of the waste is increased.
This product is commonly seen in the aluminum alloy section plant, steel, aluminum and copper casting plants, etc.

Basic Q&A:

Q1: What materials can the Y83-500 Briquetting Press process? A1: The Y83-500 is designed to process various metal chips, turnings, swarf, and powders including steel chips, cast iron chips, aluminum chips, copper chips, brass chips, and other metal filings.

Q2: What are the main benefits of briquetting metal chips? A2: Briquetting significantly increases the value of your scrap, reduces storage volume by up to 90%, allows for recovery of valuable cutting fluids, improves handling and transportation efficiency, and reduces burning loss during the remelting process.

Q3: Is the Y83-500 suitable for continuous operation? A3: Yes, the Y83-500 is engineered for heavy-duty, continuous industrial operation, delivering high production rates to meet demanding requirements in busy facilities.

Q4: Does the machine recover cutting oils or coolants? A4: Yes, a key advantage of briquetting with the Y83-500 is the efficient recovery of cutting lubricants and oils, which are pressed out during the compaction process. These fluids can then be reused, leading to significant cost savings.

Q5: What kind of maintenance is required for the Y83-500? A5: Regular preventative maintenance, including lubrication of moving parts, checking hydraulic fluid levels, and inspecting wear components, is essential to ensure long-term efficiency and reliability. Wanshida provides comprehensive maintenance guidelines and after-sales support.
