Ideal for metal applications – the TH 600 M briquetting press

The powerful axial piston pump in the hydraulic unit delivers an output of up to 37 kW. This enables the generation of particularly high pressing pressures of up to 3,900 kg/cm² (TH 800 M), resulting in the briquettes being extremely compacted. The other hydraulic components are also of reinforced construction. The result: a longer service life and minimised maintenance costs. However, for those who require significantly less power depending on the application, motors are also available from 5.5 kW.

Maximum flexibility. The large touch panel is ergonomically designed for quick parameter adjustments (e.g. briquette length, number of briquettes per minute, density, etc.) during material changes. It also displays various processes taking place within the machine. To ensure that the electronics are optimally tailored to the machine, we design, build and wire our control cabinets entirely in-house. In doing so, we use only high-quality branded components – for example, from Siemens, Allen Bradley or Rittal.

The separate oil tank of the Bosch Rexroth hydraulic power unit has a capacity of approximately 600 litres and is fitted with an efficient oil cooling system. Thanks to this large volume, the quality of the hydraulic oil can be maintained at a very high standard for a long period of time – making it ideal for use in multi-shift operations.

All WEIMA briquettes are characterised by their dimensionally stable compression. The use of die technology enables even better compaction and volume reduction compared to a press pliers. Depending on the application, the briquettes are so dense that they even sink in water. They therefore have a density >1 (e.g. aluminium has a density of approx. 2.3, whilst other metals have a significantly higher density). This makes briquettes from the TH Industrie series ideal for subsequent marketing. Their rectangular shape also makes them easy to handle, as they can be stacked for transport.

The use of a closed die to compact loose chips, dust or shredded materials, in combination with a powerful hydraulic unit, results in extremely high briquette densities. Machines in the TH Industrie series are state-of-the-art and extremely robustly constructed. The throughput of the TH 600 M is up to 220 kg/h, depending on the specific material.

The movable die, in which the final briquette is formed, is subject to increased wear and tear. For this reason, it is made of hardened steel and is also chrome-plated. The press plate located next to it can be replaced in just a few simple steps once it has worn out. This ensures that the process runs smoothly.

The TH 600 M compresses loose materials into dimensionally stable round briquettes with a diameter of 60 mm. The briquette length can be adjusted on all machines. No binding agents or adhesives are used for compaction; only hydraulic pressure is applied.
