Metal chip shredding and briquetting system

Scrap metal chips generated in machining processes include iron chips, aluminum chips, steel chips, alloy chips, and other types of shavings. These constitute discarded resources and are produced in large quantities during machining production projects, accounting for about 20% of metal castings and sometimes even as high as 30%. Metal chips have a high level of purity in their composition and contain much higher levels of content compared to any ore. Generally, they are treated as waste, but they hold significant recycling value. This is particularly true for various alloy casting enterprises, where the self-recycling of metal chips holds even greater significance.

However, the process of recycling and reusing metal chips also brings about a series of issues. Loose metal chips occupy a large space, leading to high transportation costs. Metal chips containing waste fluids are classified as hazardous waste. Apart from polluting the environment, they also trigger environmental regulatory scrutiny. Both metal chips and mixed cutting oils are high-value recyclable materials, but they fetch low direct selling prices, resulting in minimal profits. Directly incinerating metal chips in a furnace leads to long combustion times, emission of black smoke, and high oxidation rates, which in turn contribute to resource wastage.
