Y83-4000 Metal Briquetting Press Power 30/37KW For Metalworking & Manufacturing
Product Overview
The Y83-4000 Hydraulic Metal Swarf Briquetting Press is a high-performance industrial machine specifically engineered for processing various metal chips and turnings, such as cast iron, steel, copper, and aluminum. Its core function is to apply immense static pressure (4000 kN / 400 metric tons) to cold-press loose, bulky metal swarf into dense, solid briquettes or pellets within a mold chamber. This process significantly reduces the volume of the scrap metal by up to 75-80% (to 1/4 or 1/5 of its original volume), drastically cutting transportation and storage costs while increasing its recycling value. It is the ideal solution for modern metalworking, foundry, and recycling industries aiming for cleaner production and a circular economy.
| Model | Nominal Pressure (kN) | Briquette Size (mm) | Pressure on the bale | Power (kW) | Capacity |

| Y83-4000 | 4000 | Ø140 x 300 | 260MPa | 30/37 |
800-1200kg/h Cast iron sawdust |
Q1: What are the benefits of briquetting metal swarf?
A1: There are three primary benefits: 1) Volume Reduction & Efficiency: Volume is decreased by 70-80%, saving enormous storage space and cutting freight costs. 2) Increased Recycling Value:The high-density briquettes oxidize less during melting, leading to a higher metal yield. 3) Cleanliness & Environmental Protection: It eliminates the mess of loose chips and contained cutting fluids, resulting in a much cleaner and safer workshop.
Q2: Is the machine easy to operate and maintain?
A2: Yes. The automated control system allows any operator to run it after basic training. The hydraulic system uses mature technology and standard, readily available components, making routine maintenance (like checking oil levels and filters) straightforward. We provide detailed operation and maintenance manuals.
Q3: Can it process wet chips containing cutting oil?
A3: Yes. The machine is designed to handle this common condition. During the compression cycle, a significant portion of the cutting fluid is squeezed out and can be collected via the integrated drip pan or drain port. For chips with extremely high oil content, pre-treatment with a centrifugal wringer is recommended for optimal results.
Q4: Can the size and weight of the briquettes be customized?
A4: Absolutely. While the machine comes with a standard mold size, we can custom-manufacture molds to produce briquettes of different diameters and weights to best suit your furnace charge box dimensions or specific handling requirements.
In summary, the Y83-4000 Briquetting Press is a powerful asset for boosting your productivity, reducing operational costs, and promoting green manufacturing. Contact us today for a detailed technical proposal and quotation!
