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.
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:
After evaluating the production process, the customer decided to invest in a complete briquetting system rather than a standalone machine.
To match the customer's production requirements, WANSHIDA supplied a complete metal chip recycling system consisting of:
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.
| Item | Specification |
|---|---|
| Model | Y83-2500 Hydraulic Scrap Metal Briquette Press |
| Nominal Force | 2500 kN |
| Briquette Size | Φ100 * (50–80) mm |
| Briquette Pressure | 220 kN |
| Motor Power | 18.5 kW |
| Reference Capacity | Approx. 800 kg/h (Cast Iron Chips) |
| Drive System | Hydraulic Drive |
| Operation | Manual or PLC Semi-Automatic |
| Feeding Equipment | Storage Hopper + Screw Conveyor + Lifting Conveyor |
The screw conveyor continuously delivers metal chips to the press, ensuring a more consistent production process.
Operators no longer need to manually feed material throughout the production cycle.
Cast iron chips, steel chips, and similar loose materials can be transferred more smoothly through the integrated feeding system.
The complete system allows production capacity to be upgraded without redesigning the entire production line.
WANSHIDA provides more than standalone machines.
With over 40 years of hydraulic machinery manufacturing experience, we design complete metal chip recycling solutions according to customer materials, workshop layout, and production targets.
Our services include:
Our experienced engineering team supports customers from project planning to installation, commissioning, and long-term technical service.
After installation, the customer achieved a smoother and more continuous production process.
Material feeding became more stable, manual intervention was significantly reduced, and workshop organization improved. The complete system also provides sufficient flexibility for future production expansion.
For manufacturers producing large quantities of machining chips every day, selecting a complete briquetting system offers greater long-term value than purchasing a standalone briquetting press.
The Y83-2500 Hydraulic Scrap Metal Briquette Press, combined with a storage hopper, screw conveyor, and lifting conveyor, delivers a practical and efficient solution for modern metal chip recycling operations.
Backed by more than 40 years of manufacturing experience, professional engineers, and CE & ISO9001 certification, WANSHIDA continues to provide customized hydraulic recycling solutions for customers worldwide.
