BrikStar iSwarf - Briquetting Press for Metal Chips

Hydraulic briquetting press for the metal processing industry

These series combine a compact, space-saving design with high throughput performance. The machine equipment can be individually configured according to customer specifications and needs. With briquette diameters ranging from 45–100 mm and throughput capacities of 60–600 kg/h, a customized briquetting solution is possible. Optimized hydraulic systems achieve optimal energy efficiency in these series. The models in this series are delivered as complete presses in frame construction with integrated hydraulics. Numerous options extend the range of applications and complete the program.

Due to the "Regulation on Facilities Handling Water-Hazardous Substances" (AwSV) that came into effect on August 1, 2017, the classification and handling of water-hazardous substances has changed significantly. However, these waste materials can be optimally utilized with a high-performance briquetting press from Höcker Polytechnik.

In addition to significant volume reduction and minimized transport distances, the attached cooling lubricants are pressed out to such an extent that the briquettes can be stored and transported in accordance with the new AwSV. For processing predominantly short, loose metal chips from the machining of non-ferrous metals, steel and cast parts, or other metals such as aluminum and magnesium, the briquetting presses from the BrikStar iSwarf and BrikStar M/MD series are optimal.

Another good reason to choose a briquetting press from Höcker Polytechnik is, besides volume reduction, the recovery of cooling lubricants and environmental protection, the higher revenue achieved by selling briquettes compared to loose chips.

Benefit from the use of a Höcker briquetting press:

• Reduce oil and lubricant costs
• Lower logistics costs
• Resource conservation thanks to briquetting
• Additional revenues from briquettes
  = Fast payback period (ROI)

• Compact and space-saving design
• Variable adjustable press pressure
• Easily adjustable briquette density
• Easy installation
• Savings of up to 95% of fresh oil or emulsion quantities
• Fewer storage, transport and disposal resources
• Added value through the sale of metal briquettes
• Sustainable and environmentally friendly operation
• Virtually complete avoidance of corrosion of metal chips
• Briquettes with low residual moisture for optimum smelting
• A PLC controlled briquette length automatic system always guarantees the maximum throughput
• A large touch panel allows easy operation
