RUF 18,5-55 Briquette presses for larger quantities of metallic residues
The advantages for you at a glance:
- For larger quantities of metal chips
- Short amortisation period
- Recovery of cooling lubricants
- Fully automatic 24h operation possible
- Long service life & low maintenance requirements
Added value through the briquetting of metallic residues
Depending on the starting material, our metal presses in the RUF 18.5-55 series achieve a maximum throughput of up to 2,800 kg/hour and are thus ideally suited to briquetting larger quantities of metal chips. Through the briquetting process, you not only reduce transport, storage and handling costs, but also earn higher revenues. In addition, expensive cooling lubricants can be recovered and maybe even reused, depending on their properties. Whether you are dealing with aluminium, steel, brass, copper, titanium or any other metallic residues – RUF offers individually tailored briquetting solutions that will precisely match your individual requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
What is the smallest amount of chips that makes briquetting worthwhile?
Briquetting can be worthwhile even with very small quantities of chips. Briquette presses with a lower throughput should be considered here. Depending on the material, our systems can make economic sense in these cases too. Our specialists will be happy to advise you!
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 %).
