Wanshida Hydraulic Machinery Delivers 315 Briquetting Machine to Brazil
In 2026, Wanshida Hydraulic Machinery successfully delivered a 315 briquetting machine to a machining company in Brazil, helping the customer transform loose metal chips into compact, high-value briquettes.
With Brazil’s strong presence in automotive manufacturing, metal processing, and industrial production, workshops generate large volumes of steel turnings, aluminum chips, and machining waste every day. However, without proper processing, these materials are difficult to manage and offer limited economic return.
What Problems Are Brazilian Customers Trying to Solve?
1. Metal Chips Take Up Space and Reduce Efficiency
Loose chips quickly accumulate on the workshop floor:
- Difficult to store and transport
- Occupy valuable production space
- Create unsafe and disorganized working conditions
2. Scrap Value Is Low Due to Oil and Loose Form
Metal chips often contain cutting oil and moisture.
Because they are loose and lightweight:
- Buyers offer lower prices
- Handling becomes inefficient
- Additional processing may be required
3. Transport Costs Are Too High Across Long Distances
In Brazil, scrap materials often need to be transported over long distances to steel mills or recycling centers. Loose chips result in:
- Low truck loading efficiency
- Increased logistics cost per ton
- Reduced profit margins
Why the Customer Chose the 315 Briquetting Machine
The 315 briquetting machine, also known as a 315-ton briquetting press, provides strong compression capability with a nominal force of 3150 kN, making it suitable for processing both steel and aluminum chips.
With a production capacity typically ranging from 1500 to 3000 kg per hour, the machine can continuously convert loose metal chips into dense cylindrical briquettes. During the pressing process, excess cutting oil is also separated and can be reused, helping reduce material waste.
The machine is designed with a high-pressure hydraulic system and supports semi-automatic operation, with PLC control available as an option depending on customer requirements. Its compact structure makes it suitable for integration into existing workshop layouts without requiring major changes.
What Changed After Installation?
After putting the machine into operation, the customer quickly saw improvements:
- Up to 90% reduction in chip volume
- Significant recovery of cutting oil
- Higher resale price for compact briquettes
- Cleaner and more organized workshop environment
- Lower transportation cost per ton
Instead of being treated as low-value waste, metal chips became a valuable, standardized pro duct ready for resale or reuse.
Customer Feedback
“Before, metal chips were messy and difficult to handle.
Now they are compact, clean, and much more valuable.
This machine has improved both our efficiency and profitability.”
Conclusion
The 315 briquetting machine is not just a recycling tool—it is a profit optimization solution for Brazilian manufacturers.
By converting loose chips into dense briquettes, it helps businesses:
- Reduce storage and transport costs
- Improve workshop efficiency
- Increase scrap value
- Recover usable cutting oil
