The Y83-5000 Heavy-Duty Metal Chip Briquetting Press is an industrial-grade waste processing solution engineered to efficiently compress large volumes of loose, tangled metal chips (such as cast iron, steel, copper, and aluminum chips) into high-density, uniform cylindrical briquettes. Utilizing a high-capacity hydraulic system and intelligent controls, it delivers a powerful 5000kN nominal pressure for effective cold compaction. This process dramatically reduces the volume of metal scrap by up to 70% (to 1/3 - 1/5 of its original size), significantly cutting transportation and storage costs. Furthermore, it transforms waste into a valuable, clean furnace-ready feedstock, enhancing its recycling value. It is an ideal solution for promoting a circular economy and is widely used in foundries, automotive part manufacturing, and metalworking industries.
| Model | Nominal Pressure (kN) | Briquette Size (mm) | Pressure on the bale | Power (kW) | Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Y83-5000 | 5000 | Ø150 x 300 | 283MPa | 45 |
1200-1500kg/h Cast iron sawdust |
Q1: Can the Y83-5000 only process cast iron chips?
A: No. While the capacity is benchmarked with cast iron chips, this machine is equally suitable for processing steel, copper, aluminum, and stainless steel chips. Capacity and briquette density will vary depending on the material.
Q2: Can the density and weight of the briquettes be adjusted?
A: Yes. By adjusting the system pressure setting, the final density and weight of the briquettes can be controlled within a certain range. Higher pressure results in denser briquettes. It is recommended to operate within the machine's rated parameters for optimal results and equipment longevity.
Q3: Is the installation complex? What are the foundation requirements?
A: To ensure stable and vibration-free operation, the press must be installed on a solid, level concrete foundation. We provide detailed foundation drawings and installation guidance, with commissioning available by our technical specialists.
Q4: What does routine maintenance involve?
A: Key maintenance includes regularly checking the hydraulic oil level and cleanliness (recommended change every 500 hours, along with filters), lubricating moving parts, and inspecting electrical connections. A detailed maintenance schedule is provided in the user manual.
