400 Ton Scrap Metal Briquetting Press with 4000kN Nominal Pressure, Ø140×300mm

400 Ton Scrap Metal Briquetting Press with 4000kN Nominal Pressure, Ø140×300mm High-Density Briquettes and 260MPa Forming Pressure for Heavy Cast Iron Recycling Systems

Product Overview

The Y83-4000 Scrap Metal Briquetting Press is a 400-ton class hydraulic briquetting system engineered for heavy-duty cast iron chip recycling and high-density scrap compaction in steel plants and large foundries.

With a powerful 4000 kN nominal pressure and 260 MPa effective pressure on the briquette, this machine is designed to compress high-volume cast iron sawdust into large, furnace-ready briquettes measuring Ø140 × 300 mm.

It is particularly suited for:

• Heavy machining workshops with continuous chip output

• Steel plant internal scrap recycling lines

• Foundries processing dense iron swarf

• Centralized scrap compaction systems

This is not a light-duty chip press. It is a production-grade compaction solution for heavy iron-based materials.

• 4000 kN Nominal Pressing Force

  The 400-ton hydraulic structure provides:

  • Stable compaction of high-resistance cast iron chips

  • Reduced spring-back after release

  • High briquette density suitable for furnace feeding

  Compared to 315-ton systems, this model is better suited for thicker and higher-density scrap streams.

  Large Briquette Size — Ø140 × 300 mm

  The extended briquette dimension offers:

  • Higher single-briquette mass

  • Reduced handling frequency

  • Improved furnace batch control

  • Suitable for medium to large melting furnaces

  This format is optimized for industrial-scale melting operations.

  ---

  260 MPa Effective Forming Pressure

  Even with a larger briquette diameter, the system maintains high forming pressure, ensuring:

  • Structural stability of briquettes

  • Low fragmentation during transportation

  • Consistent melting performance

  ---

  Industrial Motor Configuration — 30 / 37 kW

  The heavy-duty motor system supports:

  • Continuous compaction cycles

  • Stable hydraulic pressure output

  • Industrial-level reliability

The Y83-4000 is optimized for cast iron sawdust, high-density iron machining chips, short iron turnings, and ferrous industrial scrap fines.

It is specifically engineered for iron-based materials requiring strong compaction pressure and stable density formation.

Installing a 400-ton briquetting press significantly reduces scrap storage volume, improves scrap handling safety, increases furnace charging stability, enhances metal recovery rate, and lowers oxidation loss during melting.

The system transforms loose machining waste into controlled, high-density furnace feed material suitable for industrial-scale steel production.

The Y83-4000 adopts a PLC automatic control system, enabling stable pressing cycles, consistent briquette dimension control, reduced operator dependency, and easy integration into scrap processing lines.

This machine integrates smoothly with chip conveyors, crushers, centralized scrap collection systems, and furnace feeding lines.

It can operate as a standalone industrial compaction unit or as part of a fully integrated recycling and pre-treatment production system.

The Y83-4000 is commonly installed in steel plant internal scrap recycling systems, foundries processing cast iron machining waste, large-scale machining workshops, centralized industrial scrap compaction lines, and furnace pre-treatment areas.

Due to its large briquette size and 4000 kN pressing force, it is particularly suitable for facilities operating medium-to-large melting furnaces and continuous scrap output environments.

The Y83-4000 is supplied with a one-year warranty covering structural, hydraulic, and control components under normal industrial use.

Long-term spare parts supply, remote technical support, and commissioning guidance are available to ensure stable machine performance.

If your facility processes heavy cast iron scrap and requires a 400-ton industrial briquetting solution, the Y83-4000 is designed to deliver stable, high-density compaction for furnace-ready material.
