Metal Briquetting Machine

1.Main functions and purposes

The metal briquetting machine compresses various metal wastes ， such as scrap iron, scrap steel, aluminum, copper, etc.) into high-density blocks for easy transportation and storage.

2.Structure and working principle

1) Hydraulic system: This is the core part of the metal briquetting machine, including hydraulic pumps, hydraulic cylinders and hydraulic valves, etc. The hydraulic system provides strong pressure for the compression of metal scraps.

2) Compression chamber: Also known as the briquetting chamber, it is where the metal scraps are compressed into blocks. The compression chamber is usually made of high-strength steel to withstand high pressure.

3) Press head: The press head is the component that directly applies pressure to the metal scraps, and is usually made of wear-resistant materials to ensure durability for long-term use.

4) Frame: The frame is the structure that supports the entire equipment, usually made of heavy steel to ensure the stability and durability of the equipment.

5) Control system: Modern metal briquetting machines are usually equipped with electronic control systems for operating and monitoring the operation of the equipment.

6) Feeding system: The device that feeds the metal scraps into the compression chamber can be manual or automatic. The automatic feeding system usually includes a conveyor belt or a feeding hopper.

7) Discharging system: The compressed metal blocks are discharged from the equipment through the discharging system. The discharge system may consist of a chute, conveyor belt, or other device.

3. Workflow

1) Feeding: Metal scrap (such as scrap iron, scrap steel, copper, aluminum, etc.) is fed into the compression chamber through the feeding system. The feeding system can be manual or automatic, and the automatic system usually uses a conveyor belt or a feeding hopper.

2) Compression: The hydraulic system is started, and the hydraulic cylinder pushes the pressure head to apply high pressure to the metal scrap. Under strong pressure, the metal scrap is compressed into a high-density block.

3) Molding: During the compression process, the metal scrap is gradually formed into a compact block. The design of the compression chamber ensures that the metal block has a consistent shape and size.

4) Discharging: After the compression is completed, the pressure head is withdrawn, and the compressed metal block is discharged from the equipment through the discharging system. The discharging system may include a slide, a conveyor belt or other device to transport the metal block to a specified location.

5) Reset: The briquetting machine is reset and ready for the next compression operation. The control system ensures that the equipment returns to its initial state after each operation.

6) Cyclic operation: Repeat the above steps to continuously process metal scrap. Modern metal briquetting machines usually have automation features to enable continuous and efficient operation.

5.Advantages and environmental benefits

The metal briquetting machine has high-efficiency compression capabilities and is widely used in a variety of metal recycling, automobile dismantling, home appliance recycling and other industries. It can compress scattered metal waste into high-density blocks, reduce the volume of materials for easy storage and transportation, and reduce storage and logistics transportation costs. Through compression, the volume of metal waste is significantly reduced, which is more convenient for transportation and smelting, improves metal recovery rate, reduces dependence on primary resources, reduces energy waste, and promotes sustainable economic development.
