250 Ton Scrap Briquetting Press with 800–1000kg/h Capacity D100mm for Steel Mill Pre‑Processing

Our 250-ton scrap metal briquetting press is purpose-built for steel mills, large-scale recycling facilities, and heavy-duty industrial scrap processing lines. It transforms loose metal scrap into high-density, uniform briquettes, directly improving storage efficiency, reducing transport costs, and optimizing furnace charging performance for melting or remelting operations.

With a robust 250-ton hydraulic pressing force, a steady throughput of 800–1000 kg/h, and standardized D100×(70–100) mm briquette dimensions, this machine delivers consistent, production-ready results for global industrial clients in Europe, the Middle East, and South America. Powered by a reliable PLC control system, it offers automated operation, stable performance, and seamless integration into existing scrap preparation workflows.

The high-pressure hydraulic system delivers repeatable, consistent force, producing dense briquettes that:

• Minimize metal oxidation during furnace melting
• Boost charging efficiency and furnace utilization rates
• Reduce material loss compared to loose, uncompacted scrap
• Lower storage and transport volume by up to 70%

The D100×(70–100) mm briquette size is engineered for direct compatibility with:

• Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF)
• Induction furnaces
• Centralized melting systems
• Foundry cupola operations

Uniform dimensions ensure predictable melting behavior, safer charging, and consistent feedstock quality for steel production.

The advanced PLC system provides:

• Fully automated cycle control (feeding → pressing → discharging)
• Real-time monitoring of pressure, cycle time, and operational status
• Fault diagnosis and alarm notifications for minimal downtime
• Long-term stability in harsh industrial environments
• Easy integration with SCADA or factory management systems

With a throughput of up to 1000 kg/h, this press is designed for:

• 24/7 continuous scrap recovery in steel mills
• High-volume pre-processing before furnace charging
• Integration with conveyor systems, shredders, and chip handling lines
• Semi-automated or fully automated production workflows

• Ferrous scrap: Steel turnings, cast iron chips, punching scrap, and small steel components
• Non-ferrous scrap: Aluminum chips, copper shavings, brass scrap, and light non-ferrous metal offcuts
• Loose metal shavings, swarf, and small industrial scrap pieces

Note: Not suitable for large solid metal blocks, highly contaminated waste, or materials with excessive moisture/oil content without pre-treatment.

• Steel mills: Internal scrap recycling and pre-treatment for furnace charging
• Large recycling plants: High-volume compaction of mixed metal scrap for resale or reprocessing
• Foundries & smelting facilities: Preparation of clean, dense briquettes for efficient melting
• Machining workshops: Recovery of metal chips and turnings from CNC and lathe operations
• Centralized scrap processing lines: Modular integration into end-to-end scrap handling systems

This briquetting press is designed for seamless integration into industrial scrap processing lines, pairing with:

• Chip crushers, shredders, and magnetic separators
• Automated feeding conveyors and discharge systems
• Scrap sorting and collection lines
• Furnace charging systems and material handling equipment

Its compact footprint and standardized output make it ideal for modular plant layouts, minimizing installation time and operational disruption.

Yes. It is engineered to handle the continuous, high-volume scrap output from steel mill production and machining lines, delivering furnace-ready briquettes that directly improve melting efficiency and reduce operational costs.

The standard briquette size is D100×(70–100) mm, with the length adjustable between 70–100 mm via the PLC control panel. Custom diameter options are available upon request, tailored to specific material types and furnace requirements.

Yes. The PLC system enables fully automated operation, including automatic feeding, pressing, and discharge. This reduces labor dependency, improves consistency, and minimizes human error in industrial production environments.

It handles a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metal scrap, including steel, cast iron, aluminum, copper, and brass. All materials must be loose, clean, and suitable for hydraulic compaction (no large solid blocks or heavily contaminated waste).

• Daily: Check hydraulic oil levels, clean the feed hopper, and inspect for leaks or loose bolts
• Weekly: Lubricate moving components (ram, bearings, hinges) and calibrate PLC sensors
• Monthly: Replace hydraulic filters, inspect chamber liners, and test safety interlocks
• Annual: Full system inspection and overhaul (motor, hydraulic pump) recommended by our service team

The machine is equipped with industrial-grade safety systems:

• Emergency stop (E-stop) buttons at multiple access points
• Safety guards around feed and discharge areas
• Hydraulic overload protection to prevent system damage
• PLC-controlled safety interlocks that halt operation if guards are opened or faults are detected

Powered by an 18.5 kW electric motor and optimized hydraulic design, it operates at a high energy efficiency ratio, consuming approximately 0.018–0.023 kWh per kg of scrap processed—lower than many competing models in the same tonnage class.

The 1-year warranty covers all non-wear components, including the hydraulic system, electrical/PLC controls, structural frame, and mechanical parts. Wear parts (e.g., chamber liners, seals, cutting blades) are not covered but are available as cost-effective spare parts to minimize downtime.

Yes. It is designed for modular integration into semi-continuous or fully automated scrap processing lines. Our engineering team provides custom layout and integration support, ensuring compatibility with conveyors, shredders, and furnace charging systems.

We offer global after-sales support, including:

• Remote technical support and troubleshooting
• On-site installation and commissioning guidance
• Fast spare parts supply
• Long-term technical consulting and training for operators

• 1-year limited warranty covering hydraulic system components, electrical/PLC controls, structural frame, and mechanical parts
• Excludes wear parts (chamber liners, seals, cutting blades) and damage from misuse or improper maintenance

• 24/7 remote technical assistance for global clients
• On-site installation, commissioning, and operator training
• Fast spare parts delivery to Europe, the Middle East, and South America
• Long-term service contracts for ongoing maintenance and optimization
