Chip Compactors & Briquetting Machines

Transform ordinary steel, copper, aluminum and nearly all other industrial turnings, fillings, chips, clippings - even metallic dust into dense, economically processed, compact briquettes. Superior scrap metal chip compactor equipment produces refined briquettes that typically command prices much greater than non-compacted scrap metal. But increasing your profits is only part of the advantage of using scrap metal chip compactors and briquetting machines. The chip compactor does considerably more.

Compacting & briquetting chips reduces transportation costs
Like a metal chip wringer, the chip compactor facilitates the removal and recovery of cutting fluids. However, due to the intense pressure of compaction in the briquetting press, the amount of cutting fluid recovered is considerably higher and increases the value of scrap metal over that processed in a metal chip wringer.
Using the chip compactor also reduces material handling costs. With a volume reduction rate of up to 8:1, the briquettes are much easier to ship, and the weight and liability of the coolant is negligible.
The chip compactor minimizes hazardous liability exposure associated with the transportation of loose turnings contaminated with cutting fluids, as the briquettes hold less than 2 percent moisture.
Compacting your scrap into briquettes also aides in converting valuable floor space currently allocated for scrap storage into revenue-producing manufacturing space.
