Product Overview

The Y83-3150 Scrap Briquetting Press is a heavy-duty hydraulic briquetting machine designed for compressing cast iron sawdust, steel chips, metal turnings, machining scraps, and other metal residues into high-density cylindrical briquettes. With a 3150kN nominal force, Φ150×80–120mm briquette size, 37kW motor power, and a reference capacity of around 1500kg/h for cast iron sawdust, this model is suitable for foundries, CNC machining workshops, metal recycling plants, steel processing factories, and industrial scrap recovery centers.

In metal processing industries, loose cast iron sawdust is often difficult to store, transport, and reuse efficiently. It has low bulk density, takes up large workshop space, and may cause material loss during handling. The Y83-3150 hydraulic scrap briquetting press solves this problem by compressing loose metal chips into compact, regular-shaped briquettes without adding adhesive. The finished briquettes are easier to stack, weigh, transport, sell, and return to the furnace for remelting.

For buyers, the most important concerns are usually briquette density, hourly capacity, equipment stability, operation safety, maintenance convenience, and installation cost. The Y83-3150 is designed to meet these practical needs. Its hydraulic drive system provides stable pressure output, smooth movement, no strong vibration, and safe, reliable operation. The machine can be equipped with manual operation or PLC semi-automatic operation, allowing customers to choose a cost-effective or more automated working mode according to their production requirements.

The Φ150mm briquette diameter is larger than many small briquetting models, making it suitable for customers who need bigger briquettes and higher single-piece weight. The briquette height of 80–120mm provides flexibility depending on material condition and compression result. With a capacity of around 1500kg/h for cast iron sawdust, this model is a practical choice for medium to large factories that generate a stable amount of metal chips every day.

Another advantage of the Y83-3150 is its simple installation requirement. The machine only needs a simple underground footing, helping customers reduce civil work preparation and shorten project setup time. For factories looking to improve scrap value, reduce storage pressure, and build a cleaner recycling process, the Y83-3150 Scrap Briquetting Press offers a reliable and efficient solution.

Cause

Loose cast iron sawdust and metal machining chips can create real operating problems for factories and recyclers.

First, loose metal chips occupy too much space. Even when the material weight is high, the scattered form makes storage inefficient and workshop management difficult.

Second, cast iron sawdust is easy to spill during collection, loading, and transportation. This leads to material loss, extra cleaning work, and lower recycling efficiency.

Third, loose chips are not always ideal for furnace feeding. Fine metal particles may oxidize more quickly during remelting, which can increase burning loss and reduce recovery value.

Fourth, many recycling buyers and foundries prefer compact briquettes because they are easier to handle, cleaner in appearance, more convenient to weigh, and more stable during melting.

Because of these challenges, converting loose cast iron sawdust into dense briquettes is an effective way to improve both operational efficiency and scrap metal value.

How It Works

The Y83-3150 Scrap Briquetting Press works through a hydraulic compression process.

First, the operator feeds cast iron sawdust or metal chips into the compression chamber. After the chamber is filled, the hydraulic system drives the pressing cylinder to apply strong pressure to the loose material. Under the action of the main pressing force, the metal chips are compressed into a dense cylindrical briquette.

The final briquette size is Φ150mm in diameter and approximately 80–120mm in height, depending on material condition and compression performance. Normally, no adhesive is required. The machine relies on hydraulic pressure and material compaction to form solid briquettes.

After the briquette is formed, it is discharged from the machine and can be collected for stacking, packing, transportation, resale, or furnace remelting. If the material contains cutting oil or coolant, part of the liquid may be squeezed out during compression, making the material easier to handle.

The machine can be operated manually or configured with PLC semi-automatic control. Manual operation is simple and easy to maintain, while PLC semi-automatic operation helps improve working efficiency and reduce operator workload.

How To Choose

Choosing the right scrap briquetting press depends on the material, capacity requirement, briquette size, and working environment.
