Why More Brazilian Manufacturers Are Choosing Complete Metal Chip Briquetting Systems Instead of Standalone Briquette Pr

A Changing Approach to Metal Chip Recycling in Brazil

Brazil's machining, automotive component, agricultural machinery, and metal fabrication industries generate significant quantities of metal chips every day. As production volumes continue to increase, many manufacturers have realized that purchasing only a briquetting press is no longer enough.

The efficiency of the entire recycling process largely depends on how consistently the material is fed into the machine. A complete feeding system can significantly improve production continuity while reducing labor requirements.

Customer Requirements

The Brazilian customer serves local machining and metal recycling businesses and processes large volumes of cast iron chips and steel chips daily.

The customer expected to:

  • Reduce manual feeding
  • Maintain continuous material flow
  • Improve workshop cleanliness
  • Increase recycling efficiency
  • Prepare for future production expansion

After evaluating the production process, the customer decided to invest in a complete briquetting system rather than a standalone machine.

WANSHIDA Complete Solution

To match the customer's production requirements, WANSHIDA supplied a complete metal chip recycling system consisting of:

  • Y83-2500 Hydraulic Scrap Metal Briquette Press
  • Storage Hopper
  • Screw Conveyor
  • Lifting Conveyor

The material flow is:

Metal Chips → Storage Hopper → Screw Conveyor → Lifting Conveyor → Briquetting Press → Finished Briquettes

Compared with manual feeding, this configuration provides more stable material supply, reduces production interruptions, and improves overall operating efficiency.

Why Did the Customer Choose the Complete System?
Stable Material Feeding

The screw conveyor continuously delivers metal chips to the press, ensuring a more consistent production process.

Lower Labor Requirements

Operators no longer need to manually feed material throughout the production cycle.

Better Performance for Loose Metal Chips

Cast iron chips, steel chips, and similar loose materials can be transferred more smoothly through the integrated feeding system.

Easy Future Expansion

The complete system allows production capacity to be upgraded without redesigning the entire production line.
