1200kg/h Cast Iron Sawdust Briquette Machine with 22kW Hydraulic Drive and PLC Semi-Automatic Control
When a machining plant generates cast iron sawdust every day, the first question when selecting a Scrap Briquetting Press should not simply be:
“Is the pressing force high enough?"
A more useful question is:
“Does the machine's actual processing rate match the amount of chips our factory generates every day?"
The Y83-3150 combines a 3150kN nominal force, 22kW hydraulic power system, and a standard briquette size of approximately Φ125 * 50–60mm.
According to the available technical data, its reference throughput when processing cast iron sawdust is approximately:
1200kg/h
The machine can be configured for either:
Manual Operation
or
PLC Semi-Automatic Operation
This makes the Y83-3150 particularly relevant to machining facilities that need a structured way to process a stable stream of cast iron machining waste.
Many buyers compare a Metal Chip Briquetting Machine by looking first at:
These specifications matter, but only when they are connected to real production conditions.
A workshop generating 300kg of chips per hour has a very different requirement from a plant producing more than one ton per hour.
Three questions should therefore be answered before machine selection.
If only several tons of chips are generated daily, the briquetter may not need to operate continuously.
For much higher daily volumes, operating hours and feeding organization become increasingly important.
Even two materials described as “cast iron chips" can behave differently.
They may be:
fine sawdust, short chips, coarse machining chips or mixed forms.
Their flow characteristics and loose density can affect actual throughput.
Some plants want the briquetter to operate alongside production.
Others collect chips first and process the accumulated material during a dedicated period.
These operating strategies can lead to different equipment decisions.
The Y83-3150 has a reference capacity of approximately 1200kg/h for cast iron sawdust.
For preliminary planning, this translates into the following theoretical output:
| Machine Operating Time | Theoretical Processing Reference |
|---|---|
| 4 hours/day | Approx. 4.8 tons/day |
| 8 hours/day | Approx. 9.6 tons/day |
| 12 hours/day | Approx. 14.4 tons/day |
| 16 hours/day | Approx. 19.2 tons/day |
These figures are not guaranteed daily capacities.
Actual production can be influenced by:
However, the figures provide buyers with a much more practical starting point.
Instead of simply asking whether 1200kg/h is “high capacity," the customer can ask:
Does this processing rate fit our actual daily scrap generation?
For example, a machining plant generating approximately 8–10 tons of cast iron sawdust per day may evaluate whether the accumulated material can be processed during one normal working shift.
If the required continuous throughput is significantly above 1200kg/h, another configuration should be evaluated rather than selecting the machine purely because it offers 3150kN pressing force.

Important:
The stated 1200kg/h capacity refers to cast iron sawdust and should not be treated as a guaranteed throughput for every type of metal chip.
Aluminum chips, steel chips, copper chips and other machining waste should be evaluated separately.
Machining facilities with a stable stream of cast iron waste can integrate briquetting into their normal scrap-management routine.
If chips do not need to be processed immediately, the factory may collect material during production and operate the Cast Iron Sawdust Briquette Machine for several dedicated hours.
The standard reference finished briquette is:
Φ125 * 50–60mm
Buyers with downstream handling or recycling requirements should confirm whether this size is suitable.
Manual or PLC semi-automatic control provides two practical operating approaches without automatically requiring a large integrated production line.
Long tangled chips can behave differently from fine sawdust during feeding.
The material-handling method may need additional evaluation.
If the primary material is aluminum, steel, copper or mixed machining chips, the 1200kg/h figure should not be used directly.
A higher-capacity solution should be evaluated.
A standard briquetting press is not automatically a complete automated chip-processing line.
Feeding, conveying and control requirements should be reviewed separately.
The basic process of a hydraulic briquetting press is straightforward:
material enters the compression section, hydraulic pressure is applied, and a briquette is formed.
For a real buyer, however, several operating details matter more.
If chips bridge, tangle or feed inconsistently, actual production can fall even when the machine has sufficient pressing force.
Buyers should observe whether:
Producing one good briquette during a trial is different from maintaining the required throughput during daily production.
For this reason, actual material information is important when evaluating a Hydraulic Briquetting Press.
Cast iron, steel, aluminum, copper or another machining material?
This is one of the most useful capacity indicators.
Hourly and daily figures should ideally both be provided.
Actual material photos are far more useful than simply writing:
“Cast Iron Chips"
This directly affects required hourly capacity.
Check downstream storage, handling or recycling requirements before final selection.
The Y83-3150 can use manual or PLC semi-automatic control.
| Operating Situation | Configuration to Consider |
|---|---|
| Intermittent, relatively low-volume processing | Manual |
| Stable daily chip generation | PLC Semi-Automatic |
| More standardized operating sequence required | PLC Semi-Automatic |
| Priority on basic, straightforward configuration | Manual can be evaluated |
| Future integration with feeding equipment | Control system should be reviewed separately |
There is no universal “better" option.
The correct choice depends on labor availability, daily operating hours and the required production workflow.
Before asking:
“How much does the briquetting machine cost?"
consider another question:
“How much are we already spending every month to manage loose metal chips?"
Useful data includes:
This creates a more realistic basis for evaluating a Metal Scrap Briquetting Machine.
For one factory, the main value may be space management.
For another, transportation and handling may matter more.
For another, the priority may simply be creating a standardized machining-waste process.
This is why a universal guaranteed payback period would not be realistic.
The real configuration should be judged as a combination of:
Pressing Force + Throughput + Briquette Size + Control Method
rather than pressing force alone.
The 22kW motor specification can be incorporated into the customer's electrical and operating planning.
A defined briquette size helps customers plan collection, handling and downstream storage.
Manual and PLC semi-automatic configurations allow different factories to choose according to their actual operation instead of paying for unnecessary automation.
For a metal-chip briquetting project, equipment selection is more reliable when the manufacturer can review:
Material Photos + Hourly Output + Daily Volume + Operating Hours + Finished Briquette Requirement
rather than receiving only:
“Please quote Y83-3150."
WANSHIDA has its own manufacturing facility and engineering team.
Standard equipment can therefore be reviewed according to the customer's actual material and operating conditions, with customized configurations available where required.
At the reference rate of 1200kg/h, eight hours corresponds theoretically to approximately 9.6 tons.
This is only a preliminary reference.
Final suitability depends on the actual chip condition, feeding method and effective operating time.
No.
It is the reference capacity given for cast iron sawdust.
Actual throughput can vary according to material and operating conditions.
Because chip condition can vary in:
All of these factors can influence practical machine output.
PLC semi-automatic control is worth considering for stable daily production and a more standardized operating sequence.
Manual operation may be evaluated for intermittent or lower-volume applications.
It is better not to select the machine from this specification alone.
The 1200kg/h reference relates to cast iron sawdust.
For aluminum chips, actual material information should be reviewed by the engineering team before the configuration is confirmed.
Support includes:
For overseas projects, customers can provide photos, videos and operating information when a problem occurs, allowing the technical team to evaluate the situation and provide appropriate guidance.
For a more accurate recommendation, prepare:
Material Photos + kg/h + Tons/Day + Working Hours + Required Briquette Size
With these five pieces of information, the discussion can move beyond:
“How many tons of pressing force does the machine have?"
and toward the more important question:
“Is this the right briquetting system for the way our factory actually produces and handles metal chips?"
