Oil Separation in Briquetting Presses
Advanced fluid recovery technology for cleaner metal chips and reduced waste
Oil Separation Efficiency
Modern briquetting presses typically remove 70-90% of residual fluids from metal chips through high-pressure compression.
85% Avg.
70% 90%
Separation Process
- High-pressure compression expels trapped fluids from metal chips
- Integrated oil recovery systems capture expelled coolants and lubricants
- Perforated chambers prevent oil reabsorption into briquettes
- Collected fluids directed to tanks for recycling or proper disposal
Key Efficiency Factors
Chip Type
Fine, stringy chips (aluminum/steel) release oil more readily than coarse chips under pressure.
Oil Viscosity
Thicker oils may require higher pressure or pre-heating for optimal separation.
Pressure Settings
Adjustable compression allows optimization for different chip-oil mixtures.
Performance Benefits
- Top-tier presses extract 85%+ of free and surface oil
- Produces cleaner briquettes for more efficient recycling
- Significantly reduces waste oil disposal costs
- Helps comply with environmental regulations on hazardous waste
