Product Overview

The Dershan Vertical Metal Scrap Briquetting Machine is a hydraulic briquetting device developed for the metal processing, casting, recycling, and automotive parts manufacturing industries. Utilizing powerful hydraulic compression technology, the machine can compress loose cast iron, steel, aluminum, copper, and other metal cutting waste into high-density cylindrical metal blocks with a diameter of 60–240 mm and a weight of approximately 1.2–25 kg.

The equipment features a vertical structure and continuous briquetting output, with selectable automatic or manual control. The hydraulic pressure range is 1250–6300 kN, suitable for production needs of varying output volumes, metal types, and finished product specifications.

Main Applications

Dershan metal shavings briquetting machines can process the following materials:Cast iron shavings, ductile iron shavings.Carbon steel shavings and stainless steel shavings.Aluminum shavings, aluminum shavings, and aluminum alloy scrap.Copper shavings, brass shavings, and copper alloy scrap.Bearing steel shavings and gear machining scraps

The equipment is suitable for CNC machining centers, lathe workshops, automotive parts factories, foundries, steel companies, metal recycling stations, and renewable resource processing centers.

For metal chips containing oil or cutting fluid, a conveying, crushing, degreasing, liquid collection, and automatic feeding system can be configured according to actual working conditions to form a complete metal shavings recycling production line.

Advantages of using a metal shavings briquetting machine

Reduced space occupation

Loose metal chips are bulky and piled up haphazardly. After high-pressure compression, the metal chips can be formed into regular and dense cylindrical briquettes, significantly reducing storage space occupation.

Reduced Transportation Costs

High-density briquettes are easier to stack, load, and transport, increasing the load capacity of a single vehicle or container and reducing the number of transport trips. Actual savings will vary depending on raw material density, briquette size, and transport distance.

Increased Recycling Value

Regular, dense metal briquettes are easier to weigh, sell, and remelt than loose metal scraps. Briquetting reduces material loss during transport and smelting and helps improve scrap pricing power.

Improved Remelting Results

Higher metal briquettes are less likely to float and scatter in the furnace, reducing oxidation loss. Specific smelting benefits depend on the type of material, briquette density, and the customer's smelting process.

Recovered Cutting Fluid

The briquetting process can squeeze out some residual oil or cutting fluid from the metal scraps. After filtration, the recovered fluid can be recycled or centrally processed according to the customer's process conditions, thereby reducing consumable costs.

Improved Workshop Environment

Centralized processing of metal scraps reduces spillage, dripping, and dust problems, making the processing area cleaner and reducing the workload of manually handling loose scrap. Technical Parameters

Parameter or Description

The above parameters are reference ranges for this series of products. The loose density, oil content, length, and hardness of different materials will affect the equipment output, briquette weight, and final density. Specific configurations are subject to technical confirmation.

Equipment Structure and Workflow

Metal shavings enter the compression chamber manually, via conveyor, or through an automatic feeding system. After the equipment starts, the hydraulic system drives the pressing mechanism to compress the metal shavings under high pressure. After reaching the set pressure and holding conditions, the formed briquettes are continuously discharged from the outlet.

The standard workflow is as follows: Collect and convey metal shavings. Crush or pre-treat according to material conditions. Feed the material into the briquetting machine hopper. Automatically complete feeding, compression, holding, and briquetting. Collect briquettes and liquid discharged during the pressing process. The equipment transports finished metal blocks to warehouses, recycling plants, or smelting workshops.

The equipment supports both manual and automatic operation. Manual mode facilitates installation, commissioning, equipment maintenance, and single-step operation; automatic mode is suitable for continuous production, reducing manual intervention and improving processing efficiency.

Cooling and Hydraulic System

The equipment is equipped with an industrial chiller to control the hydraulic oil temperature, ensuring stable operation under continuous production conditions. The hydraulic system uses a pressure configuration of 1250–6300 kN, matched with a pump displacement of 63–320 ml/r depending on the specific model.

A reasonable hydraulic and cooling configuration reduces the risk of system overheating, improves the stability of continuous operation, and extends the service life of hydraulic components and seals. Customers can select the appropriate cooling specifications based on ambient temperature, daily working hours, and raw material processing volume.

Optional Production Line Configurations

Based on the customer's material condition and automation requirements, the following supporting equipment can be provided: metal shavings conveyor, metal shavings crusher, centrifugal degreasing machine, automatic feeding and quantitative feeding system, cutting fluid collection and filtration system, briquetting finished product conveying device, PLC automatic control system, oil temperature monitoring and industrial cooling system, material level detection and safety protection device.

Through reasonable configuration, a complete production line can be formed from metal shavings collection, crushing, degreasing, conveying to briquetting.

Case Study : Aluminum Alloy Processing Company Handling Aluminum Shavings

An aluminum alloy parts manufacturing company generates a large amount of loose aluminum shavings during CNC machining. These shavings are lightweight and bulky, often filling transport vehicles before reaching their maximum load capacity.

The client adopted a production line with metal shavings crushing, conveying, and automatic briquetting functions to pre-process the long, loose aluminum shavings and compress them into high-density aluminum blocks. After the upgrade, the company can store more recycled material in the same storage space and improve the effective loading rate of transport vehicles and containers.

Dershan provided a briquetting solution with interchangeable molds and adjustable parameters based on the client's material requirements. The client produces in batches according to material category, obtaining different specifications of briquettes by adjusting the feed rate, pressure, and holding time, making the metal scrap easier to classify, store, and sell.
