What is the difference between a metal chip briquetting press and a regular briquetting press

A metal chip briquetting press is designed specifically for metal chips and can handle a variety of scrap metals:

• Cast iron chips, steel chips, and aluminum chips
• Materials with sharp edges, uneven density, and prone to loosening
• Designed to handle high hardness and toughness

Regular briquetting presses are more suitable for processing loose, soft materials:

• Waste paper, plastic, and straw
• Materials that lack sharp edges and are easily compressed

Using regular presses for metal chips can lead to equipment wear and loose briquettes.

The structural design of metal chip briquetting machines prioritizes pressure and wear resistance:

• Pressing heads and chambers made of high-strength alloys with hardened surfaces
• Designed to withstand impact and friction of metal chips
• Hydraulic systems offer greater power and higher compression pressure

Conventional briquetting machines have different design priorities:

• Pressing heads and chambers made of ordinary steel
• Lower structural strength and pressure resistance
• Hydraulic systems provide lower pressure suitable for soft materials

Excessive pressure on conventional machines can cause structural deformation.

The core objective of a metal chip briquetting machine:

• Compress loose metal chips into high-density, high-strength briquettes
• Reduce volume of scrap metal for efficient smelting and recycling
• Prevent chip loss during transportation or storage
• Some models feature auxiliary functions for oil and impurity removal

Conventional briquetting machines have different objectives:

• Primarily aim to reduce material storage and transportation costs
• Lower briquette density and strength requirements
• Suitability for subsequent recycling not a primary concern
• Only need to ensure briquettes don't disintegrate during transportation

Metal chip briquetting machines are primarily used in specific industries:

• Machining, automotive manufacturing, and metallurgy
• Specialized equipment for metal scrap recycling
• Must be used with metal processing production lines or recycling stations

Conventional briquetting machines have wider applications:

• Waste paper recycling, plastics processing, agricultural straw processing
• Used as general-purpose compression equipment
• Don't require customization for specific industry material characteristics

Application scenarios for conventional machines are far less targeted than metal chip briquetting machines.
