Comparing Briquetting and Centrifugation

What metal processing facility wants wet chips that bring along dirty work areas and container storage spaces, leading to high disposal efforts with lots of forklift traffic? Wet chips also result in a discharge of a significant amount of coolant (cutting fluid or emulsion) and low scrap returns. The solution: Separating metal chips from the coolant. But the question remains: how?

Ruf Maschinenbau offers a wide range of feeders

How to briquette metal chips properly not only depends on the press. Also the right hopper and feeder are crucial to the reliability of the process. RUF Maschinenbau has the right solution for all needs.

The year 1993 witnessed at RUF Maschinenbau the culmination of the exchange mould’s evolution from wood debris to metal chips. Just two years later, as many as ten metal briquetting systems had been sold in addition to the original wood processors. Today, RUF briquetting technology has become an integral constituent in the recycling of chips generated by the metalworking industries. A success story in the SME segment.
