Project Background

In 2025, a medium-sized metal recycling and machining service provider based in Pune, India, approached us for a solution to handle large volumes of metal chips generated from CNC machining operations.

The client mainly processes cast iron and steel components, producing over 2–3 tons of metal chips per hour. Previously, these loose chips were stored in bulk and sold directly, leading to several operational challenges.

Customer Situation & Challenges

Based on communication with the client, their main issues were:

• Loose metal chips occupied excessive storage space
• High transportation costs due to low density
• Residual cutting oil causing environmental and handling issues
• Low resale value of untreated metal scrap
• Difficulty feeding loose chips directly into furnaces

These challenges are quite common in India’s growing metal processing industry, especially among CNC machining clusters.

Our Solution

After evaluating the client’s material type, output, and working conditions, we recommended the Y83-6300 Scrap Briquetting Press.

Key Configuration:

• Nominal Force: 6300 kN
• Briquette Size: Φ180 × (70–100) mm
• Capacity: 2000–3000 kg/h (Cast Iron Chips)
• Cycle Time: 20 seconds per briquette
• Operation: PLC semi-automatic control
• Drive System: Hydraulic

This configuration ensures stable operation under continuous heavy-duty conditions and produces high-density briquettes suitable for direct furnace charging.

Results & Benefits

After installation and commissioning, the client reported significant improvements:

• Storage space reduced by over 60%
• Transportation efficiency greatly improved
• Briquettes could be directly used in melting furnaces
• Increased scrap value due to higher density
• Cleaner workshop environment with reduced oil contamination

The machine now operates continuously in the client’s production line and has become a key part of their recycling process.

Why the Client Chose Us

The customer compared several suppliers before making the final decision. They chose us because:

• Over 40 years of manufacturing experience in recycling machinery
• Proven solutions already used in similar industries
• Ability to provide customized configurations
• Stable hydraulic system and reliable performance
• Compliance with CE and ISO9001 standards
• Responsive communication and technical support

Project Summary

This project demonstrates how a properly selected scrap briquetting press can significantly improve operational efficiency and reduce costs in metal processing industries.

For companies dealing with large volumes of metal chips, investing in a high-pressure briquetting system is not only a technical upgrade but also a long-term cost-saving solution.
