Briquetting presses type BrikStar MD compact short, loose metal chips from the mechanical processing of non-ferrous metal, steel and cast iron parts as well as other metals, such as copper and brass. The material is compacted in a pressing frame, closed on both sides with pressing tools. The press ram has a diameter of 50-90 mm. The briquettes have an average length of 60 - 100mm and a weight of up to 2.5kg. The pressure in the pressing frame achieves up to 315 MPa on both faces of the briquettes. This technique guarantees the high and constant compacting of the material. The machine operates with the most modern control technique and well-engineered drive and hydraulic components suitable for continuous and multi shift operation. Feeding can be effected customised by a multi-screw hopper, screw conveyor or conveying belts. The Hcker Polytechnik engineers develop these solutions individually and project-related.
