Batch Loading Briquetters
Designed for swarf bin or manual loading
Stand-alone Swarf Briquetter
Metalworking shops generate a significant amount of waste in the form of metal chips and swarf into swarf bins, which can be expensive and difficult to handle. One solution to this problem is to use a stand-alone swarf briquetter, which can transform this waste material into a compact, manageable, and valuable resource.
Lubriserv offer a range of briquetters that accommodate swarf bin loads being tipped into the machine hopper either by hand for smaller loads or via forklift for larger swarf bins. The hopper then feeds the swarf into the compressing chamber and compresses metal swarf (chips or stringy) into solid briquettes.
Here are some benefits of using a stand-alone swarf briquetter from Lubriserv in your metalworking shop:
Cost savings:
By compacting the metal swarf into briquettes, a swarf briquetter reduces the volume of waste that needs to be disposed of, which can lead to significant cost savings in terms of transport and disposal fees. Moreover, the briquettes can be sold to scrap metal dealers or recycling companies, providing an additional source of revenue (up to 30% for aluminium!).
Increased workplace safety:
Metal chips and swarf can pose a safety hazard in the workplace, as they can cause slips, trips, and falls. Moreover, these materials are flammable and can create fire hazards. A swarf briquetter can help mitigate these risks by reducing the amount of loose waste material on the shop floor.
Improved efficiency:
A swarf briquetter can improve the efficiency of your metalworking shop by reducing the time and effort required for waste management. Instead of spending time collecting, transporting, and disposing of loose chips and swarf, employees can focus on more productive tasks, such as machining and manufacturing.
Environmental benefits:
By compacting metal chips and swarf into briquettes, a swarf briquetter can reduce the environmental impact of metalworking shops. The compacted briquettes take up less space in landfills, reducing the need for additional landfill space. Moreover, recycling scrap metal reduces the need for virgin metal extraction, which can have significant environmental impacts.
Customizable solutions:
Stand-alone swarf briquetters come in a variety of sizes and capacities, which can be customised to meet the specific needs of your metalworking shop. From small, manual machines to large, automated systems, there is a swarf briquetter to suit every application.
A stand-alone swarf briquetter is an effective solution for metalworking shops that generate a significant amount of waste in the form of metal chips and swarf. By compressing this waste material into solid briquettes, a swarf briquetter can reduce costs, increase workplace safety, improve efficiency, provide environmental benefits, and offer customisable solutions to meet specific needs. Investing in a swarf briquetter can be a smart and profitable decision for any metalworking shop.
