Aluminum Briquetting Machine Manufacturer

A briquetting machine is a hydraulic press that compresses loose metal chips, turnings and swarf into dense, easy-to-handle briquettes — without any binder or heat.

Material is fed into the pre-press chamber, then compacted by the main cylinder at 1,800–3,150 bar of specific pressure. The final briquette reaches a density of 5.5–6.8 g/cm³ for steel and 2.4–2.7 g/cm³ for aluminium — close to the density of solid metal.

ARZIR briquetting machines are designed for a wide range of metallic and non-metallic chips, including:

• Steel & cast iron turnings, milling chips and grinding sludge
• Aluminium chips, foil scrap and extrusion off-cuts
• Copper & brass chips and machining swarf
• Stainless steel turnings and shavings
• Magnesium, zinc, titanium and other non-ferrous chips
• Sawdust, wood shavings and biomass (with specific tooling).

Capacity varies by model, material type and chip condition. Typical throughput is:

• Small models (BM-100/200): 150–400 kg/h
• Medium models (BM-400/630): 800–2,500 kg/h
• Heavy-duty models (BM-1000/1500): 3,000–6,000 kg/h.

Cycle time is as short as 15–30 seconds per briquette, with fully automatic continuous operation for 24/7 production.

Every ARZIR briquetting machine meets CE / ISO safety standards and includes:

• Fully enclosed safety guarding around all moving parts
• Emergency stop buttons at every operator station
• Hydraulic overload protection and pressure relief valves
• Safety light curtains on feeding hopper (optional)
• Temperature and oil-level monitoring on hydraulic tank
• Interlocked access doors for inspection and maintenance.

Standard lead time is 60–90 days for small to medium models and 4–6 months for heavy-duty or fully customized briquetting lines with conveyors, centrifuges and chip dryers.

All ARZIR briquetting machines come with a 2-year warranty on the main frame and hydraulic system, plus lifetime technical support and a free supply of critical wear parts during the first year.

ARZIR offers a complete range of hydraulic briquetting machines, including:

• Horizontal briquetting presses (BM-100 to BM-1500) — for steel, cast iron and aluminium chips
• Vertical briquetting presses — compact footprint for limited-space workshops
• Double-cylinder briquetters — for high-density briquettes of hard alloys and copper
• Complete turnkey briquetting lines with chip crusher, centrifuge / dryer, conveyor and briquette discharge system.

ARZIR briquetting machines deliver pressing forces from 100 to 1,500 tons, producing briquettes with a diameter of Ø50 mm to Ø150 mm (cylindrical) or 60×60 mm to 150×150 mm (square / rectangular).

Briquette weight ranges from 0.3 kg to 5 kg each, with final density of 5.5–6.8 g/cm³ for steel — meeting the requirements of steel mills and foundries for direct furnace charging.

Briquetting transforms loose, oily and bulky chips into clean, dense and traceable blocks. Key benefits include:

• 10–20× higher selling price compared with loose chips
• Up to 90% recovery of cutting oil and coolant for reuse
• 80% less storage space and lower transport cost
• Higher melting yield in furnaces (less burn loss & oxidation)
• Cleaner, safer workshop environment and easier scrap handling.

ARZIR briquetting machines are controlled by Siemens S7-1200 / S7-1500 PLC with industrial HMI touchscreen, offering fully automatic, semi-automatic and manual operation modes.

Optional upgrades include remote IoT diagnostics, production data logging, recipe management for different materials, and integration with MES/ERP and upstream chip-conveying systems.
