The Arno®Brik series of briquetting presses is suitable for pressing and/or briquetting all types of chips produced during the machining of steel, cast iron, stainless steel, aluminum, magnesium, brass, copper, bronze, titanium, etc. Special powder alloys, slag compounds, battery waste, and grinding sludge from a wide variety of materials can also be processed, as well as tire steel and mill scale.
Compared to loose chips, compressed briquettes can be melted down more easily and safely. Briquetting grinding sludge enables an environmentally friendly recovery of fluids. The presses are available with three different filling variants to meet the material’s flow properties. An inclined feed hopper or a two-stage feeding mechanism allows the processing of both grinding sludge and drilling chips.
The solid, welded design with two or three columns makes the machines suitable for heavy-duty continuous operation. Each machine can be operated manually or automatically. All process sequences are visualized on a graphical control panel and can be easily integrated into fully automated production lines. Remote maintenance and system adjustments can of course also be carried out.
