Steel press machine

Briquetting steel and stainless steel

Whether in mechanical engineering, the automotive industry, aviation, steelworks or foundries: steel chips accure in many machining processes. They are usually contaminated with cooling lubricants like oil or emulsions and often have low bulk densities.

By briquetting alloyed (stainless steel) and/or unalloyed chips you streamline internal logistics, save storage space and costs and also recovers expensive cooling lubricants. A briquetting press for steel chips is therefore not only an ecological but also an economical alternative for chip processing.

Benefits of steel briquetting

Recovering cooling lubricants
Simplified internal logistics
Savings in storage space and costs
Improved order & cleanliness at the workstation or chip container space
Increased scrap revenue through separation of alloys

Efficiently briquetting steel chips of any kind

Our hydraulic briquetting presses operate with a specific pressing power of up to 5,000 kg/cm² and are suitable for a wide range of steel types (e.g. stainless steel, structural steel, machining steel, case hardened steel, X5CrNi18-10, tool steel, V2A & V4A, heat treatable steel or duplex steel). In each case the result is compact briquettes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the requirements for producing briquettes?

In general, almost all materials can be made into briquettes. However, the chip particles should not be bigger than 50mm. The chips should not contain any impurities. For Wood & Biomass the moisture content should be less than 12 % (max 15 %).

How do I find the right briquetting machine?

We have many years of experience in briquetting which means that our experts are well-qualified to provide you with professional advice in choosing the right briquette press. We work with you to identify your individual requirements on the basis of the material in question and the production conditions. This then allows us to offer you custom-made briquetting machines or even complete briquetting solutions.

How do I get my chips into the briquetting machine?

In addition to our briquette presses, we also offer additional peripheral equipment, such as conveyors, silos or chip hoppers. These allow the material flow of your chips to be optimised, and RUF peripheral devices can also be used to enable the briquetting of your chips to be fully-automated. Your briquette press will always be individually custom-made in accordance with your specific requirements.
