Aluminum Chips Recycling Machines to Improve Furnace Efficiency | Enerpat

Enerpat scrap metal recycling machines turn aluminum chips & turnings into briquettes or blocks—reducing moisture, cutting energy costs, and boosting furnace efficiency.

The Challenge: Inefficient Furnace Performance

Many manufacturers know that scrap metal recycling machines play a critical role in improving furnace efficiency. A Mexican aluminum recycler, serving the automotive industry, was struggling with performance: every month they processed 200 tons of aluminum chips and turnings, some with up to 22% liquid content. Feeding this wet, loose scrap directly into the furnace caused:

High energy consumption

Reduced melting efficiency

Increased smoke and slag

Lost metal recovery

They needed a smarter way to handle scrap: metal chips briquetting machines or scrap metal balers that could deliver cleaner, denser feedstock to the furnace.

Enerpat Solutions: Designed for Furnace Efficiency
Option 1: Briquetting Line – Maximum Performance

Machines: MSA-F150 + ED-1000 + BM-6320

Process: Compresses aluminum chips into high-density briquettes with minimal liquid

Impact on furnace:

Faster melting

Higher metal yield

Less energy wasted

Best choice if furnace performance is top priority

Option 2: Economic Block Pressing System – Balanced Investment

Machines: AMB-H1075-250 + feeding device + liquid collection system

Process: Produces compact aluminum blocks (1.5–1.6 t/m³ density)

Impact on furnace:

Improved efficiency compared to loose scrap

Lower smoke & oxidation

Affordable, easy-to-maintain system

Best choice if budget and simplicity matter
