ENERPA Metal Briquetting Press – Maximize Resource Utilization and Upgrade Metal Recycling

In industries such as machinery manufacturing and automotive processing, large volumes of steel chips—shredded, swarf, or granular—are generated. Though often considered waste, these steel chips hold significant recycling value. The ENERPAT Door-Type

Why Steel Chip Recycling Matters

Steel chips represent valuable iron resources, environmental savings, and economic opportunity. In 2023, China’s total scrap steel recovery exceeded 280 million tons, with steel chips accounting for approximately 12%. Recycling these chips reduces the need for virgin iron ore, lowers smelting energy consumption and carbon emissions, and contributes to carbon neutrality and circular economy goals. Each ton of recycled steel can cut up to 1.5 tons of CO₂. Proper recycling also prevents oil leakage and dust pollution, while offering short investment cycles and stable returns, making steel chip recycling a promising green industry.

ENERPAT Door-Type Metal Briquetting Press

The ENERPAT lid-Type Metal Briquetting Press offers a highly efficient and automated solution for steel chip processing:

Automated Cold Briquetting: Loose steel chips are fed via a tilt-feeding system into the press, where the door-type hydraulic head compresses them in multiple stages without heating or additives. The process simultaneously separates residual oil, which can be collected and reused.
Robust & High-Capacity: Equipped with German Siemens motors and dual hydraulic cylinders, the press delivers 100–1500 tons of compression force, supporting 24-hour continuous operation.
Smart & Maintainable: Features detachable hydraulic valve blocks, intelligent touchscreen control, and automatic alarms for easy operation and maintenance.
Durable Construction: Mortise-and-tenon welded frame ensures long service life under intensive industrial use.
Benefits
Economic: Briquettes increase bulk density from 0.2–0.3 t/m³ to 3.5–4.5 t/m³, reducing storage and transport costs by 50%, and commanding 200–500 CNY/ton higher resale prices compared to loose chips.
Environmental: Oil content drops below 3%, transforming “hazardous waste” into “general waste,” reducing dust and soil contamination, and avoiding environmental penalties.
Processing Efficiency: High-density briquettes melt faster and with less oxidation loss in electric furnaces, improving metal recovery and final product quality.
Applications
Steel chips, shavings, and swarf from turning, milling, and other metalworking processes.
