Briquetting Press Production Line

A metal chip processing system is a set of equipment designed to collect, transport, process, and recycle metal chips and turnings generated during machining operations.

These systems typically include chip conveyors, shredders, crushers, briquetting presses, and centrifuges to separate metal chips from coolant and oil.

Solution Application

Solution Application

Metal chip processing systems are essential for efficient waste management, cost savings, and environmental sustainability in metalworking and manufacturing industries.

By recycling metal chips and recovering cutting fluids, these systems help reduce waste, lower operational costs, and improve workplace safety.

When choosing a metal chip processing system, it's important to consider factors such as the type of metal, volume of chips, and the need for coolant recovery to ensure the system meets the specific needs of your facility.

Collection and Conveying

Collection and Conveying

Systems often start with efficient methods for collecting metal chips from various machining stations. This can involve conveyor belts, screw conveyors, pneumatic systems, or even robotic arms.

Crushing / Shredding

Crushing / Shredding

To reduce the volume of the chips and make them easier to handle and process, they often go through crushers or shredders. This step is particularly important for long, stringy chips.

Oil and Coolant Recovery

Oil and Coolant Recovery

Machining processes typically use cutting fluids (oils and coolants). A crucial part of the processing system is the extraction and recovery of these fluids. This is usually done through methods like centrifugation, filtration, or thermal processing. Recovered oil and coolant can often be reused, leading to significant cost savings and environmental benefits.

Chip Cleaning / Separation

Chip Cleaning / Separation

Depending on the application, the chips might need to be cleaned to remove any contaminants or separated based on the type of metal. Magnetic separators can be used to remove ferrous materials, for example.

Briquetting / Compacting

Briquetting / Compacting

To further reduce volume and increase the density of the metal chips for easier storage, transportation, and remelting, they can be compressed into briquettes or pucks. This also helps to minimize material loss during the remelting process.

Material Handling and Storage

Material Handling and Storage

The processed metal chips, recovered fluids, and any separated contaminants need to be efficiently handled and stored before their next use or disposal. This might involve silos, containers, or automated storage systems.

Control and Automation

Control and Automation

Modern metal chip processing systems often incorporate sophisticated control systems and automation to ensure efficient and reliable operation. This can include sensors, PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), and software for monitoring and managing the entire process.

FAQ

  • Can Metal Chip Processing Systems Be Customized?

    +

    Yes, metal chip processing systems can be customized to meet the specific needs of a facility. Customization options include:
    • System Capacity: Adjusting the size and capacity of the system to handle the volume of chips generated.
    • Automation Level: Adding automated features such as conveyors, sensors, and control systems.
    • Coolant Recovery: Incorporating centrifuges or filtration units for coolant recovery.
    • Material Handling: Customizing the system to handle specific types of metal chips or alloys.

  • Will you need to crush/shred the chips before briquetting?

    +

    For long loose turings or chips, it may be necessary to crush the initial material prior to processing if you have a requirement for density. In this case, we can offer complete briquetting solutions for you. With our free pressing test, we can determine if your raw material is suitable for briquetting or if it requires prior crushing. Otherwise, Y81ptz series production line is another ideal option for loose metal turings, shavings, chips.

  • Is there an “all-rounder” briquette press for all possible materials?

    +

    With years of experience in briquetting, our experts will help you select the optimal system based on your metals. We communicate with you to determine your specific needs based on the material involved and the production environment. This enables us to provide tailored briquetting machines or even comprehensive briquetting solutions that meet your unique requirements.
