Small Briquetting Press

The DILOYA Small Briquetting Press is a compact hydraulic machine for cold-pressing loose machining chips into dense, manageable briquettes. It is intended for machining centers, CNC workshops and metalworking facilities that produce a steady stream of aluminium, copper, brass or iron chips but do not need a large centralized briquetting line. The process applies mechanical pressure without melting the metal, helping a workshop turn bulky, difficult-to-handle chips into regular packages for collection, storage and recycling.

1> How the Cold-Press Process Works

Prepared chips are collected and fed into the press chamber. A hydraulic ram compresses each charge, reduces the air space between particles and forms a briquette. The finished block is discharged for collection, and the machine resets for the next charge. Depending on chip condition and machine configuration, cutting fluid retained in the feed may be expressed during compression and collected through a suitable recovery arrangement. Actual fluid separation and briquette density depend on chip shape, alloy, moisture, contamination and selected pressing force.

2> Suitable Metal Chips

Typical feedstock includes aluminium turnings, copper chips, brass swarf and ferrous or iron machining chips. These materials should be sorted by metal grade and assessed individually: long tangled turnings, very fine particles, hard inclusions or a high volume of tramp material can affect feeding and compaction. Chip size reduction, drainage, screening or drying may be needed before pressing. Metal chips must not be mixed with sealed containers, hazardous waste or materials outside the machine specification.

3> Why Briquette Chips at the Workshop?

Loose chips occupy significant bin space and can spill during internal movement or shipment. Compact briquettes simplify weighing, counting, temporary storage and transfer to a recycler or remelting operation. Separating compatible grades also helps preserve scrap value and traceability. Where recoverable cutting fluid is present, a properly configured collection system can support cleaner housekeeping and more controlled fluid management; the environmental outcome depends on how fluids and residues are handled at the site.

4> Compact Installation and Model Selection

The small press is suited to facilities that need a relatively modest footprint and power demand compared with a larger production line. DILOYA should size the chamber, pressing force, motor, feeding method, collection container and optional fluid-recovery arrangement against actual chip samples, hourly chip volume, operating schedule and available electrical supply. Customers should also confirm floor space, maintenance clearance and local environmental and workplace requirements before installation.

> Cold hydraulic pressing: compresses suitable chips without a melting step or a high-temperature process.

> Compact workshop layout: a small machine footprint can fit near machining operations, subject to safe access and service clearance.

> Power sized to the task: the hydraulic and motor package can be selected for a small-scale chip stream rather than an oversized central line.

> Multiple metal grades: aluminium, copper, brass and iron chips can be assessed and processed in separate, compatible batches.

> Reduced loose-chip volume: regular briquettes are easier to collect, count, weigh and store than scattered swarf.

> Cleaner material handling: contained output helps limit chip spills during movement and shipment.

> Optional fluid management: a compatible collection arrangement can capture fluid expressed from suitable chips for controlled handling.

> Recycling-ready feed: sorted briquettes can simplify transfer to scrap buyers or remelting plants, subject to their acceptance specifications.

> Application-specific setup: pressing force, feeding, chip preparation and discharge can be matched to the customer's material and target throughput.
