Vertical Metal Chips Briquetting Press is a specialized industrial machine designed to compress metal chips, swarf, or shavings (such as aluminum, steel, copper, brass, and other ferrous/non-ferrous metals) into dense, compact briquettes. These briquettes are easier to handle, store, transport, and recycle, significantly improving material recovery and reducing waste.

Key Features of a Vertical Metal Chips Briquetting Press:

1. Vertical Design: Compact footprint ideal for workshops with limited floor space, Efficient use of vertical space; often includes a hopper on top and compression chamber below.

2. High-Pressure Compression: Uses hydraulic systems to apply pressures typically ranging from 150–630tons, Produces solid briquettes with high density (up to 6–7 g/cm³ depending on the metal).

3. Automatic Operation: Fully automatic cycle: loading → pressing → ejection → reset, PLC-controlled system ensures consistent performance and safety.

4. Adjustable Parameter: Adjustable pressure, cycle time, and briquette size based on material type and desired output.

5. Briquette Size & Shape Options: Common shapes: cylindrical, rectangular, or square, Standard sizes: 100×100 mm, 150×150 mm, or custom dimensions.

6. Material Compatibility: Suitable for various metals:Aluminum, Steel (carbon & stainless), Copper, Brass, Bronze, Titanium (in some models)

7. Low Maintenance & Durability: Heavy-duty construction using high-strength steel, Wear-resistant tooling and hardened die plates.

8. Safety Features: Emergency stop buttons, Safety interlocks, Protective guards and pressure relief valves

9. Optional Accessories: Chip conveyor feeding system, Dryer or pre-drier for wet chips, Cooling system for hot metal, Automatic stacking or palletizing systems.

Typical Applications: 

- CNC machining centers;- Automotive manufacturing plants;- Aerospace component production;- Metal fabrication shops;- Foundries and recycling facilities

Benefits of Using a Vertical Metal Chips Briquetting Press:

- Reduces Waste Volume by Up to 80%

- Increases Recycling Value – Briquettes sell at higher prices than loose scrap.

- Improves Material Handling & Storage – Compact form saves space.

- Lowers Transportation Costs – Fewer trips needed due to reduced volume.

- Supports Sustainable Manufacturing – Promotes circular economy and environmental compliance.

Tips When Choosing a Vertical Metal Chips Briquetting Press:

- Match capacity to your chip production rate.

- Consider whether you need dry or wet chip processing.

- Ensure compatibility with your metal types (e.g., non-ferrous vs. ferrous).

- Look for energy efficiency and low noise operation.

- Check availability of spare parts and technical support.
