Customer Background

The Nigerian customer operates a metal fabrication and recycling facility, processing aluminum and mild steel components for local construction and manufacturing industries.

Metal chips were previously treated as low-value waste and sold cheaply or stored outdoors.

Local Pain Points

1. High transportation cost
   Loose chips took up excessive space, increasing transport frequency and logistics expenses.

2. Low recycling efficiency
   Scrap dealers offered poor prices due to mixed materials and contamination.

3. Limited manpower & automation
   Manual loading was time-consuming and inconsistent, affecting daily output.

• Robust conveyor system for continuous feeding

• Simple hydraulic control for easy operation and maintenance

• Dense briquette output suitable for local smelters

• Reduced footprint and low energy consumption

Results After Installation

✔ Scrap volume reduced by over 80%, saving transport costs
✔ Briquettes sold at a much higher price than loose chips
✔ Stable daily output with fewer operators
✔ Faster return on investment for the recycling facility

“Now our metal chips are no longer waste. They are a stable source of income.”
