Y83-315 Scrap Metal Briquetting Press | 3150 kN | 800–1200 kg/h | Ø120×180 mm

The Y83-315 scrap metal briquetting press is engineered for high-density compaction of cast iron sawdust and industrial metal scrap, ideal for continuous scrap preparation lines and foundry pre-processing. With a nominal pressure of 3150 kN (≈320 ton), a throughput of 800–1200 kg/h, and standardized Ø120×180 mm briquette dimensions, this machine delivers dense, furnace-ready briquettes optimized for melting efficiency. Powered by a 22 kW motor and industrial-grade control systems, it ensures stable, reliable performance for heavy-duty industrial operations in recycling plants and foundries.

Note: The above parameters are for standard configuration. Customization is available based on customer requirements. Production capacity may vary depending on material type and form.

The robust hydraulic system delivers 278 MPa pressure on the bale, producing ultra-dense briquettes that:

• Minimize oxidation and metal loss during furnace melting
• Improve charging efficiency and furnace utilization
• Reduce storage and transport volume by up to 80% compared to loose cast iron sawdust
• Ensure consistent feedstock quality for foundry operations

The fixed Ø120×180 mm briquette size is tailored for:

• Cupola furnaces and induction furnaces
• Foundry melting systems
• Continuous charging workflows
• Uniform melting behavior to reduce energy consumption

With a 22 kW drive system and a throughput of up to 1200 kg/h, this press is designed for:

• 24/7 continuous processing of cast iron sawdust
• High-volume scrap recovery in foundries and machining workshops
• Integration with automated feeding and discharge systems
• Stable operation under heavy industrial loads

Optimized specifically for cast iron sawdust and fine metal swarf, the system handles fine, abrasive materials with:

• Wear-resistant chamber liners to extend service life
• Controlled feeding to prevent jamming
• High-compression design to maximize briquette density

• Cast iron sawdust and fine cast iron swarf
• Steel turnings and machining chips
• Ferrous metal scrap and small offcuts
• Other fine metal shavings suitable for hydraulic compaction

• Foundries & cast iron processing plants: Continuous preparation of cast iron sawdust for furnace charging
• Large-scale recycling facilities: High-volume compaction of fine ferrous scrap for resale or reprocessing
• Machining workshops: Recovery of cast iron chips and swarf from CNC and lathe operations
• Continuous scrap preparation lines: Core equipment for end-to-end fine metal scrap handling

This briquetting press is designed for seamless integration into industrial scrap processing workflows, pairing with:

• Automated feeding conveyors for cast iron sawdust
• Chip screening and drying systems
• Scrap collection and storage systems
• Foundry furnace charging equipment

Its compact structure and specialized design make it ideal for modular installation in existing production lines.

Yes. The Y83-315 model is engineered to handle fine, abrasive cast iron sawdust, with wear-resistant components and high-compression hydraulics to produce dense briquettes suitable for foundry melting.

The standard briquette size is Ø120 × 180 mm, fixed for optimal foundry charging efficiency. Custom size options are available upon request for specialized applications.

Yes. With a 22 kW motor and a capacity of up to 1200 kg/h, it is designed for 24/7 continuous processing in industrial scrap preparation lines, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity.

• Daily: Clean the feed hopper and check hydraulic oil levels
• Weekly: Lubricate moving components and inspect wear on chamber liners
• Monthly: Replace hydraulic filters and test safety interlocks
• Quarterly: Inspect abrasive wear on the pressing chamber and replace liners if necessary

• Emergency stop (E-stop) buttons at multiple access points
• Safety guards around the feed and discharge areas
• Hydraulic overload protection to prevent system damage
• Over-temperature protection for the 22 kW motor

The Y83-315 comes with a standard 1-year warranty covering hydraulic system components, electrical controls, structural frame, and mechanical parts. Wear parts (e.g., chamber liners, seals) are not covered but are available as cost-effective spare parts.

Yes. It is designed for modular integration into continuous scrap preparation lines, with compatibility for conveyors, drying systems, and furnace charging equipment. Our engineering team provides custom layout and integration support.

• 1-year limited warranty covering all non-wear components (hydraulic system, electrical controls, frame, mechanical parts)
• Excludes wear parts (chamber liners, seals) and damage from misuse or improper maintenance

• Remote technical support and troubleshooting
• On-site installation and commissioning guidance
• Fast spare parts supply for critical components
• Long-term maintenance contracts for continuous operation
