Product catalog summary

Overview
RUF Briquetting Solutions offers an efficient method for disposing of or recycling grinding chips, which are a byproduct of metal component grinding. These chips consist of metal, corundum abrasion, and cutting fluids. The briquetting process significantly reduces waste volume and defines residual moisture, lowering disposal costs and potentially allowing for profitable resale of briquettes.

Material and Process
Grinding chips are classified as hazardous waste in Europe but can be reclassified as non-hazardous once briquetted. The briquetting process allows for the recovery of expensive cutting fluids, reduces disposal costs, and prevents environmental contamination.

Formats and Machines
Briquettes can be rectangular (60x40mm) or round (60 to 120mm in diameter), with variable lengths. RUF's briquetting systems are equipped with hydraulic motors (4kW to 22kW) and can reach specific pressures up to 3,800 kg/cm². The throughput ranges from 40 to 350 kg/h, depending on the machine design and material type.

Technical Specifications
The systems feature a compact footprint, hydraulic power unit, electrical cabinet, hopper with agitator, and charging screw. Additional features include a PLC control with a touch panel, pre-charger with volume control, and various optional components like electrical cabinet heaters and coolers.

Advantages

Recovery of cutting fluids
Reduced disposal costs
Defined residual moisture
Potential profit from briquette sales
Non-hazardous waste classification
Optimized storage and reduced contamination risk

RUF BRIQUETTING SOLUTIONS EFFICIENCY IN GRINDING Material Grinding chips are created by the grinding of metal components. It is a mixture of metal and corundum abrasion in combination with the cutting fluids being used. The briquetting solution by RUF makes it possible to dispose of or recycle grinding chips cost-effectively. By briquetting, the waste is reduced significantly and the briquettes possess a defined residual moisture. Thus, the disposal costs are reduced and depending upon the alloy, there is even the opportunity to sell the briquettes with a profit. In most cases, the expensive...
