Through the process of briquetting, the value of residual metals can be increased considerably. The value of residual metals can be increased considerably. A further advantage is the recovery of expensive cutting fluids that can be pressed out of wet chips and then reused. When melting briquettes, combustion is significantly lower and results in a higher melting yield than with loose chips. Depending on the need, our briquette systems are equipped with hydraulic motors between 4 and 90 kW. They will achieve a specific pressure of up to 5,000 kg/cm². Suitable for aluminium, steel, cast iron, copper and many other metals Advantages: - Heavy reduction of volume, reducing storage and transportation costs - Recycling of expensive cooling lubricants - Recipients often pay a better price for loose millings - Minimal burn-off and increased glaze recovery thereby For throughput rates between 30 and 4,800 kg/hr.

Grinding chips are created by the grinding of metal components. It is a mixture of metal and corundum abrasion in combination with the cutting fl uids being used. By briquetting, the waste is reduced significantly and the briquettes possess a defi ned residual moisture. Thus, the disposal costs are reducedand depending upon the alloy, there is even the opportunity to sell the briquettes with a profit. In most cases, the expensive oil contained in the cutting fl uid can be reused. The briquetting system can already payoff for itself within less than 12 months by processing about 10 to 30 tons of the expensive oil contained in the cutting fl uid per year. Depending on the requirements, our briquetting systems for grinding chips are equipped with hydraulic motors ranging from 4kW to 22kW, and reach a specifi c pressure of up to 3,800 kg/cm². The throughput of the RUF briquetting systems - especially for grinding chips - range from 40 to 350 kg/h.
