What is a metal block press?

Metal compactor is an efficient waste metal processing equipment that mainly uses high pressure to directly cold press various waste materials into shape, making it easy to store, transport, and recycle. The following is a detailed introduction about the equipment:

Definition and classification of metal briquetting machines

• Definition: A metal compactor is a device that uses a hydraulic system to compress and process scrap metal, capable of compressing scrap metal into various specifications of blocks.
• Classification: It mainly includes two types of machines: metal chip compactors and metal packers.

Working principle of block press

The working principle of a metal compactor is mainly to use a hydraulic system to compress metal. The hydraulic system serves as a power source, pressurizing the oil through an oil pump and delivering it to the compression chamber. The compression chamber consists of two molds, one upper and one lower, with a gap in between. The lower mold is fixed to the bottom plate, while the upper mold can move. After the oil enters the compression chamber, the upper mold moves downward and closes with the lower mold, compressing the scrap metal material into blocks. After compression is completed, the upper mold will move upwards and separate from the lower mold, leaving the compressed metal block in the lower mold for manual or mechanical removal.

Metal briquetting machines are widely used in steel mills, recycling and processing industries, and are suitable for processing various waste metals such as scrap steel, scrap aluminum, scrap copper, and scrap stainless steel. Metal compactor is a powerful and widely used waste metal processing equipment that plays an important role in improving production efficiency, saving costs, and promoting environmental protection.

Characteristics and advantages of metal briquetting machine

• Efficiency: The metal compactor adopts hydraulic transmission, which has the characteristics of high pressure, high efficiency, and stability. It can complete the compression treatment of waste metal in a short time, greatly improving work efficiency.
• Cost saving: Through compression processing, the volume of scrap metal is greatly reduced, thereby saving storage and transportation space and costs. Meanwhile, the compressed metal blocks can be directly put into the furnace for use, reducing processing costs.
• Environmental friendliness: The metal compactor meets environmental standards and helps reduce the pollution of waste metals to the environment, promoting the recycling of resources.
• High degree of automation: Modern metal briquetting machines are mostly controlled by computers, with high degree of automation, low failure rate, and easy maintenance.

The metal compactor is designed with a focus on safety and reliability. The equipment has complete protective devices and safety interlock systems, which can stop and alarm in a timely manner in case of abnormal situations. In addition, the equipment also uses high-quality materials and advanced manufacturing processes to ensure its durability and stability. In summary, the compactor plays an important role in the field of waste metal processing due to its high efficiency in compression, cost reduction, environmental protection and energy conservation, enhanced resource value, strong adaptability, high degree of automation, and safety and reliability.
