Overview
RUF Briquetting Solutions offers systems for pressing metal chips from the metal-working industry into briquettes, enhancing the value of residual metals and recovering expensive cutting fluids. This process results in lower combustion and higher melting yields compared to loose chips.

Materials and Formats
Metal chips can be processed into briquettes of various sizes, ranging from 60x40 mm to 150x120 mm, with adjustable lengths. The choice of format depends on throughput requirements, source material quality, and bulk density. Briquettes can be round or rectangular.

Machines and Specifications
RUF systems are powered by hydraulic motors ranging from 4 kW to 90 kW, with pressures up to 5,000 kg/cm². These systems are customizable to meet specific customer needs and can be integrated into existing facilities for 24/7 automatic operation. Throughput capacities range from 30 to 4,800 kg per hour.

Benefits

• Suitable for fully automatic 24/7 operation
• Compact design
• Low electrical consumption relative to performance
• Higher profits with briquettes compared to loose chips
• Lower combustion and higher melting yield
• Recovery of expensive cutting fluids

Technical Features
The systems include a compact unit with mechanics, hydraulics, and electrics, featuring a hydraulic aggregate, electrical cabinet, hopper with agitator, hydraulic oil tank, and more. Optional features include heating for the electrical cabinet, water cooler, and spraying device.

Machine Types and Capacities
Different machine types are available, such as RUF 4 to RUF 90, with varying power, pressure, and throughput rates for different metals like aluminum, steel, and copper. Briquette formats and machine sizes vary, with specific dimensions and weights provided.
