Short chips are screw fed or pressed in to a chamber where the compressing takes place in a cylindrical die. There are two cylinders in the press the first are filling the chamber, and the second is compressing the chips into dense briquettes. The pressing method ensures high, uniform material and uniform material compaction. The press is equipped with 200 dm3 hopper, with a vibrator and oil cooler.
The BCM Type press is perfect for briquetting of short swarf of light metals of type aluminium. The briquetter is equipped with a bunker of 1-3 m³ depending on requested specification. The bunker is fed by a truck, skip hoist or a conveyor. The bunker has two arms with cutters which are rotating in the bunker and feeds the swarf into an inlet channel with screw which forwards the swarf to the press chamber. The briquetter is pressing with a pressure of 83 MPa and produces briquettes with a diameter of 60mm
