How It Works
Briquetting Machine Working Principle
Our hydraulic briquetting presses follow a simple four-step process to transform loose metal chips into dense, valuable briquettes.
1
Chip Loading
Loose metal chips, turnings, or swarf are fed into the briquetting machine’s hopper — manually, by conveyor, or via automatic chip transport system.
2
Hydraulic Compression
The hydraulic ram applies up to 1000 tons of force, compressing loose chips into a dense cylindrical or rectangular briquette in a single high-pressure stroke.
3
Coolant Extraction
During compression, cutting fluid and coolant are squeezed out and collected in the integrated recovery tank. Up to 95% of coolant is reclaimed for reuse.
4
Briquette Ejection
The finished briquette is automatically ejected and conveyed for collection. Dense briquettes are ready for storage, transport, or direct furnace charging.

FAQ
Briquetting Machine Questions & Answers
Get quick answers to the most common questions about our briquetting machines, material compatibility, and after-sales support.
What materials can a briquetting machine process?
ARZIR briquetting machines process a wide range of metal materials including aluminum chips and turnings, steel swarf, cast iron borings, copper shavings, brass chips, titanium turnings, and mixed metal powder. The machines handle both dry and wet (coolant-laden) chips from CNC machining, turning, milling, drilling, and grinding operations.
How much volume reduction can a briquetting machine achieve?
ARZIR briquetting machines achieve up to 90% volume reduction, compressing loose metal chips into dense cylindrical briquettes. For example, 1 cubic meter of loose aluminum chips can be compressed into approximately 0.1 cubic meters of solid briquettes, dramatically reducing storage space and transport costs.
Can briquetting machines recover cutting fluid and coolant?
Yes. ARZIR briquetting machines feature an integrated coolant recovery system that extracts up to 95% of cutting fluid, coolant, and oil from wet metal chips during the compaction process. The recovered fluid is collected in a built-in tank and can be filtered and reused, significantly reducing coolant purchase costs and environmental impact.
What are the standard briquette dimensions and density?
Standard briquette diameters range from 60mm to 200mm, with custom sizes available. Briquette density depends on material type — aluminum briquettes typically reach 2.2–2.5 g/cm³, steel briquettes 5.5–6.5 g/cm³, and cast iron briquettes 5.0–6.0 g/cm³. Higher density briquettes improve smelting yield and reduce oxidation loss.
What are the benefits of briquetting metal chips before smelting?
Briquetting metal chips before smelting provides significant benefits: up to 90% volume reduction for easier storage and transport, 95% coolant recovery for cost savings, 3–5% higher metal yield during smelting due to reduced oxidation, cleaner furnace operation with less smoke and slag, and compliance with environmental regulations by eliminating loose chip handling.
What warranty and support do you provide?
All ARZIR briquetting machines include a 12-month warranty covering manufacturing defects. We provide lifetime technical support via phone, email, and video call. Spare parts and wearing components ship globally within 3–5 business days. On-site installation, commissioning, and operator training are available upon request.
How long does it take to produce one briquette?
A single briquette cycle typically takes 15 to 45 seconds, depending on the machine model, compression force, and material type. Smaller models processing aluminum chips complete a cycle in approximately 15–20 seconds, while larger machines handling dense steel or cast iron borings may require 30–45 seconds per cycle. This translates to a continuous throughput of 80 to 240 briquettes per hour under normal operating conditions.
Can the machine run automatically or does it need an operator?
ARZIR briquetting machines are equipped with a Siemens PLC and touch-screen HMI that enable fully automatic operation. Once configured, the machine performs chip feeding, compression, coolant drainage, and briquette ejection in a continuous cycle without manual intervention. An operator is only needed for initial setup, periodic maintenance checks, and clearing any feed jams. The system also supports integration with chip conveyors and factory automation networks for unmanned production lines.
What power supply does a briquetting machine require?
Standard ARZIR briquetting machines are configured for 380V / 50Hz / 3-phase power supply, which is the industrial standard in most countries. Custom electrical configurations are available for other markets — including 415V (UK/Australia), 440V (North America), and 460V (Japan/US industrial). Motor power ranges from 7.5 kW for compact models up to 75 kW for heavy-duty 1000-ton machines. Please specify your local voltage and frequency when requesting a quotation.
How long does delivery and installation take?
Standard briquetting machine models are typically ready for shipment within 15–25 working days after order confirmation and deposit receipt. Custom-configured machines may require 30–45 working days. Sea freight delivery to major ports worldwide takes 15–35 days depending on destination. On-site installation and commissioning by an ARZIR engineer can be arranged and is usually completed within 2–3 working days after machine arrival. Remote installation guidance via video call is also available as a faster, cost-effective alternative.
