1. Density Varies by Model & Material
- Briquette density cannot be defined by one single value.
- Depends on machine model, nominal force, mold size, hydraulic pressure, and metal chip type.
- Belongs to the metal chip briquetting press family.
- Density should be confirmed according to the actual configuration and customer material list.
2. Typical Density Range for Metal Chip Briquetting
- Briquette density commonly described as about 4 to 6 tons per cubic meter.
- Cast iron chips, steel chips, and copper chips often reach 5 to 6 tons/m³ or higher.
- Aluminum chips and lighter non‑ferrous materials usually have lower density, about 2 to 3 tons/m³.
- Depends on chip form and compression setting.
3. Material Form & Pressure Affect Density
- Chip shape, moisture content, oil residue, particle size, and pre‑compression method influence final density.
- Longer or curly chips may produce lower density briquettes unless pre‑crushed or pre‑compacted.
- Higher nominal force and optimized mold design help achieve denser and more stable briquettes.
4. Confirm Density Data Before Ordering
- For export projects, request exact briquette size, briquette weight, nominal force, hydraulic pressure, production rate per shift, and expected density for the actual chip type.
- Manufacturer should provide PLC control description, hydraulic schematic, CE‑related documentation, and spare parts list.
- Helps overseas customers match the machine with local transport, furnace charging, and recycling requirements.
