BM-1090 Iron Chip Briquetting Line | ENERPAT Success Case

ENERPAT BM-1090 Iron Chip Briquetting Line solves iron chip problems for large steel enterprises—10:1 compression ratio, 5% max briquette oil content, automated operation with 1-2 workers, cutting oil recycling & 90% space saving.

Are you also troubled by the problems caused by a large amount of iron chips generated in the production process? Such as excessive space occupation, difficulty in stacking and transportation, failure to separate cutting oil, high labor costs, and failure to meet environmental compliance requirements? This case will show you how ENERPAT’s BM-1090 Iron Chip Briquetting Line solves these pain points for a large iron and steel enterprise.
Why Do You Need an Iron Chip Briquetting Machine?
For large manufacturing enterprises, especially iron and steel complexes with massive machining operations, iron chips generated by machine tools are not just "waste"—they are potential resources that can be optimized to reduce costs and improve efficiency. However, loose iron chips take up a lot of workshop space, are difficult to stack and transport, and the attached cutting oil not only pollutes the environment but also causes waste of resources. In addition, manual processing of iron chips requires a lot of labor, increasing labor costs, and failing to meet environmental standards may even affect normal production.
An efficient iron chip briquetting machine can solve all these problems: it compresses loose iron chips into dense briquettes to save space, separates and recycles cutting oil to achieve environmental protection and resource reuse, and realizes automated operation to reduce labor input—bringing dual value of environmental benefits and economic benefits to enterprises.
Customer Background & Core Pain Points
The customer is a large integrated iron and steel enterprise, mainly engaged in the production and manufacturing of steel, iron, vanadium, titanium, stainless steel, special steel, and non-ferrous metals. There are more than 30 machine tools in the enterprise’s workshop, and a large amount of iron chips are generated during the machining process. The excessive volume of iron chips has become a major problem, and the enterprise urgently needs to purchase an iron chip briquetting machine to reduce the occupied area and separate and collect the cutting oil from the waste chips.
Core Equipment Requirements
- Meet the iron chip processing needs generated by more than 30 machine tools every day;
- Reduce the occupied area of iron chips to facilitate stacking and transportation;
- Ensure that the compressed iron briquettes are not easy to loosen, no oil drips when standing still, and meet environmental protection requirements;
- Separate the cutting lubricating oil from the iron chips and collect it centrally;
- Realize automation in iron chip processing, and the supporting production line can be completed with only 1-2 people to reduce labor costs;
- Design a reasonable layout plan according to the workshop area.
ENERPAT’s Customized Solution
After multiple communications and on-site surveys with the customer to fully understand their needs and pain points, ENERPAT recommended a complete set of iron chip processing solutions: AGV Trolley + Feeding Elevator + BM-1090 Iron Chip Briquetting Machine + Central Feeding Silo + Discharging Conveyor + Cutting Fluid Purification and Collection Tank.
First, after confirming the needs with the customer, we invited the customer to send samples to our company for free actual material testing to ensure that the solution is fully applicable. The production line is equipped with AGV trolley for automatic feeding, elevator for automatic loading, and silo for material storage, which can process iron chips automatically at fixed time and quantity, realizing fully automatic operation from feeding to briquetting. After iron chip briquetting, the workshop occupied area is significantly reduced. The entire processing line adopts an integral sealed design and is equipped with 3 liquid collection devices, ensuring no leakage of waste liquid and iron chips during the whole production process. The oil content of the briquettes is below 5%, and there is no dripping when standing still, which ensures the cleanliness of the production environment and the passing of environmental inspections.
Project Value & Benefits
ENERPAT is committed to standing from the customer’s perspective, always focusing on meeting customer needs when providing services and designing solutions, and solving each problem in a targeted manner after understanding the customer’s pain points and concerns. While helping the customer solve environmental protection problems, we designed an automated production line for the iron chip briquetting machine, reducing manual participation and saving costs. During the project follow-up, we maintained continuous communication with the customer, provided targeted solutions, established mutual trust, and finally reached cooperation.
1. Space Saving
After briquetting, the compression ratio of iron chips is 10:1, which saves 90% of the workshop area and facilitates the stacking, recycling and transportation of the factory.
2. Environmental Benefits
After compression, the cutting oil can be squeezed out from the iron chips. The oil content of the briquettes is below 5%, with no dripping when standing still. At the same time, the cutting lubricating oil is collected centrally for secondary use, realizing resource reuse and environmental protection.
3. Economic Benefits
The recycling price of iron chips after briquetting is about 800 yuan per ton higher than that of loose chips, which increases the enterprise’s recycling income.
