TH 700 M – Briquetting press for efficient metal chip compaction

The TH 700 M impresses with its compact design and an integrated collection tank that effectively recovers cooling lubricants, residual oils and emulsions. This saves space, reduces material waste and contributes to more sustainable, environmentally friendly operations. Thanks to its versatile interfaces, the machine can be easily integrated into existing production lines or used as a stand-alone solution.

The newly developed filling tower of the TH 700 M features a suspended cylinder which, thanks to ample space and freedom of movement at the upper eye, no longer needs to be rigidly guided. This eliminates the need for complex guide mechanisms for the slide in the filling tower, significantly reducing maintenance requirements. At the same time, expensive wear parts such as guide rails are no longer required, as they no longer need to be replaced regularly. The hardened, nitrided inner surfaces of the filling tower further contribute to longer service life and particularly durable, robust operation.

The TH 700 M features a spiral design in the hopper that replaces the conventional screw conveyor. This spiral connects directly to a hollow-shaft motor, thereby completely eliminating the need for the previously required universal joint. This new design significantly reduces mechanical complexity and makes the machine considerably less susceptible to contaminants. The result is increased operational reliability and a significantly longer service life, particularly in demanding operating environments.

The TH 700 M is perfectly designed for fully automated 24-hour operation and starts and stops automatically to ensure maximum efficiency. The large, separate hydraulic oil tank of the hydraulic unit, with a capacity of approx. 600 litres, is equipped with an advanced oil cooling system. This combination ensures that the quality of the hydraulic oil remains at a high level over the long term, which is particularly crucial for reliable multi-shift operation.

The hydraulic unit’s axial piston pump is driven by a powerful motor with an output of up to 15 kW. This enables the generation of particularly high pressing pressures of up to 3,300 kg/cm², resulting in the briquettes being extremely densely compacted. The other hydraulic components are also of reinforced construction. The result: a longer service life and minimised maintenance costs. However, for applications requiring significantly less power, motors are also available from 5.5 kW.

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.

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.
