Loose metal turnings, chips, and swarf occupy excessive floor space, incur high transportation rates, and oxidize quickly during smelting. The Shuliy SL-MB Series Metal Briquetting Press Machine applies extreme hydraulic pressure to compress various metal scraps into tight cylindrical blocks. Operating entirely via cold pressing, this equipment requires no heating, chemical binders, or additives.

Core Operational Data & ROI Impacts

Implementing high-density pressing directly affects plant profitability through three measurable metrics:

  • Density Output: Achieves briquette densities of 2 to 6 Tons/m³, depending on the base metal.
  • Smelting Yield: Compressed briquettes sink directly into the furnace, preventing surface oxidation and increasing molten metal yield by up to 15% compared to loose chips.
  • Coolant Recovery: The extreme hydraulic force squeezes out residual cutting oils and coolants from the scrap. Standard recovery rates average between 15-20 liters per ton of processed scrap.

Applicable Materials and Pre-processing

The SL-MB series metal chip briquetting machine handles non-ferrous and ferrous metals, including:

  • Cast iron, steel, and stainless steel turnings.
  • Aluminum chips, profiles scrap, and copper shavings.
  • Various metallic powders (iron powder, lead powder).

Process Note: If your raw materials consist of long, tangled metal turnings, they must be pre-sized. We advise integrating a Metal Chip Crusher before the pressing stage. For automated continuous feeding, connect the hopper with a Scrap Metal Conveyor.

SL-MB120 vs. SL-MB160 Metal Briquetter: Selecting Your Model

To accommodate different plant scales and maintenance capacities, we offer two distinct structural designs.

1. SL-MB160 (160-Ton Enclosed Type) Designed for large-volume machining centers and automated foundries. This metal chip briquetting press machine configures the hydraulic station, oil tank, and cooling system inside a fully enclosed metal cabinet.

  • Key Specs: Generates 1600 KN (160 Tons) of pressure, producing large Φ100mm briquettes weighing 3.0-6.0 kg.
  • Design Value: Reduces operational noise, prevents dust accumulation, and maintains a clean factory floor.

2. SL-MB120 (120-Ton Open/Split Type) Engineered for small to medium processing sites maximizing ROI on a tight budget. It utilizes an open-frame, split design where the 100L hydraulic oil tank and Chint (Good brand with hight quality equipment) PLC control cabinet sit independently from the main press unit.

  • Key Specs: Applies 1200 KN (120 Tons) of pressure to form Φ70mm briquettes weighing 0.8-1.5 kg, processing 150-200 kg per hour.
  • Design Value: The separated structure ensures rapid heat dissipation for continuous hydraulic operation and allows direct access for heavy mechanical maintenance.
