Briquetting presses

Briquetting Press Manufacturers

At IMABE, we design and manufacture industrial briquetting presses for compacting metal chips and other industrial waste generated during machining processes. Our machines transform low-density materials into high-value, compact briquettes with a unique hexagonal shape, making them easier to transport, store, and subsequently recycle in steelworks and foundries.

IMABE briquetting presses can process steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, cast iron, and other metal chips, optimizing waste management, reducing logistics costs, and supporting the circular economy through the efficient recovery of raw materials.

Equipped with an innovative closed-box hydraulic system, our briquetting presses ensure uniform, high-density compaction, producing briquettes with excellent mechanical strength and outstanding performance during handling, transportation, and subsequent reuse.

A briquetting press is a hydraulic machine that compresses metal and non-metal chips under extremely high pressure to form high-density briquettes. During this process, it is also possible to recover a large proportion of the oils and cutting fluids present in the material, thereby reducing its environmental impact.

The result is a uniform, clean, and easy-to-handle product that significantly improves melting efficiency and increases the economic value of the recycled material.

IMABE briquetting presses offer significant benefits for machining companies, the metalworking industry, recycling companies, and waste management operators:

  • Up to 90% reduction in the volume of metal chips.
  • Reduced transportation and storage costs.
  • Recovery of cutting oils and coolants for reuse.
  • Increased resale value of scrap metal.
  • Reduced oxidation and material losses during storage.
  • Greater efficiency in melting processes.
  • Improved cleanliness and safety in industrial facilities.
  • Reduced environmental impact and support for achieving sustainability goals.

Our briquetting presses are designed to process a wide variety of metallic and non-metallic materials, adapting to the requirements of different industrial processes. The main materials include:

  • Steel chips.
  • Stainless steel chips.
  • Aluminum chips.
  • Copper chips.
  • Brass chips.
  • Cast iron chips.
  • Special alloys.
  • Other metal waste generated during machining processes.

Chip compaction is a fundamental step in the recovery and recycling of metallic and non-metallic waste. Once briquetted, metal chips can be transported more efficiently to steelworks and foundries, where they are melted down to manufacture new metal products, such as structural profiles, metal sheets, pipes, industrial parts, and components for the automotive industry.

Thanks to this process, waste is transformed from a problem into a high-value secondary raw material, supporting the circular economy and reducing both the consumption of natural resources and the emissions associated with primary metal production.
