In today’s recycling market, small and medium-sized scrap yards face a tough reality — low scrap density, high transport costs, and storage limitations. Every ton of loose scrap takes up valuable space and sells for less.
That’s why more recyclers are switching to metal briquette machines — compact and efficient solutions that turn loose metal chips into dense, high-value briquettes.
What Is a Metal Briquette Machine?
A metal briquette machine compresses loose metal chips, turnings, or powders into solid, cylindrical briquettes under high pressure.
The machine uses a hydraulic system to squeeze materials like aluminum, steel, copper, iron, or brass without any binders — resulting in clean, reusable briquettes that are easy to handle, transport, and smelt.
How Does a Metal Briquette Machine Work?
- Feeding: scrap metal shavings, chips, or powder are fed into the hopper.
- Compression: a hydraulic piston applies high pressure, forming dense briquettes.
- Automatic discharge: the finished briquettes are ejected automatically and collected for storage or sale.
- Recycling and reuse: briquettes can be directly remelted in furnaces, improving metal recovery rates by up to 95%.
This process reduces waste volume by up to 80%, cuts handling costs, and boosts your plant’s environmental efficiency.
Advantages of Using a Metal Briquette Machine
Maximize Metal Value
By compressing light and oily metal chips into solid briquettes, recyclers can increase resale prices by 20–30%.
Save Space and Transportation Costs
The briquettes are dense and uniform, reducing storage space requirements and freight costs.
Cleaner and Greener Recycling
Our machine removes cutting oil and coolant during compression, allowing you to recycle both metal and oil — a win for both profits and sustainability.
Low Maintenance, High Reliability
Equipped with industrial-grade hydraulic systems and a fully enclosed structure, the machine ensures stable performance and minimal downtime.
Fast ROI
Many clients in Indonesia and Eastern Europe report a payback period of less than one year, thanks to higher material utilization and lower labor needs.
Applications Across Recycling Industries
The metal briquette machine is widely used in:
- Metal recycling plants
- Machining workshops
- Steel mills
- Foundries and smelting plants
- Automotive parts manufacturers
It is compatible with aluminum chips, iron filings, copper dust, steel shavings, and more, making it a versatile choice for any metal recovery business.
