Briquetting of metal chips! Discover the benefits!

Mackma is an Italian manufacturer of industrial metal forming machines. The machines are sold in all countries of the world. They are highly appreciated by users for their attractive design and simple and efficient technology. The Mackma company pays attention to environmental aspects. All its devices are characterized by low noise levels and operational reliability.

Volume reduction -90%
Waste storage space, costs and time are reduced, and internal handling and external transport are improved.
The volumetric reduction of the product allows for fewer deliveries of waste or product to specialized waste management companies or directly to foundries, which results in savings.
Recovery of all internal fluids +20%
Metal shavings can contain significant amounts of oils and emulsions, which are often very expensive. During the briquetting process, it is possible to recover approximately 98% of the liquid inside the chips. Through the hydraulic circuit inside the briquetting press, the liquids will be sent back to the machining centers, which will result in reduced product consumption and economic savings.
Increased trade value and alloy yield +70%
Briquettes intended for foundries have a higher commercial value than chips because during melting they significantly increase the yield of material and can be loaded directly into melting furnaces without prior treatment of emulsion liquids. They are qualitatively superior to chips, which on the other hand are subject to oxidation, reduction and shrinkage.
CNC controller
Mackma briquetting presses are equipped with PLC control with a touch screen, work cycles are automatic. The control panel allows you to program cycles, stop or start the machine, check the operating status, number of work cycles, machine energy savings, analyze and manage the level of the liquid collecting pump and count the number of briquettes made.
Mackma briquetting presses can be connected to the company's production lines or conveyor belts, so that start and stop commands can be sent to the line when the collection tank is full. Additionally, using an RJ45 network cable and thanks to the management software provided by us, you can connect the machine to computer systems that will allow you to program it, set a work order, check work progress, configure settings for specific chips, manage the amount of briquettes produced, monitor alarm status, update software and request remote technical support from the team.
BTW Series
The volumetric briquetting press is suitable for the most durable materials. The material is loaded by gravity and the resulting briquettes will be the same size with millimeter precision. The volumetric briquetting press has two briquette outputs, which means more briquettes can be produced, and the machine also has a more powerful hydraulic pump and a stronger piston.
The working principle of the volumetric machine is as follows: When compressing one briquette, the other chamber will be loaded with new material to compress the new briquette while returning to the starting position.
