The TH 700 M briquetting press is specially designed for metal applications. It can be used to efficiently compact many types of metal swarf. Briquetting your chips increases their value considerably. Expensive cooling lubricants such as oils and emulsions can be recovered and fed back into the cooling and lubrication circuit. For this purpose, there is a tank with a pump under the briquetting machine. The resulting metal briquettes can also be melted down directly, whereby they sink to the bottom during the melting process and therefore melt with less slag formation and burn-off.
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 losses and contributes to more sustainable, environmentally friendly operation. 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 is based on a suspended cylinder that no longer needs to be rigidly guided thanks to sufficient space and freedom of movement at the upper eye. This eliminates the need for time-consuming guiding of the pusher in the filling tower, which significantly reduces maintenance costs. At the same time, expensive wear parts such as guide rails become obsolete as they no longer need to be replaced regularly. The hardened, nitrided inner sides of the filling tower also contribute to a longer service life and particularly durable, robust operation.
The TH 700 M uses a spiral construction in the hopper that replaces the conventional screw. This spiral merges directly into a hollow shaft motor, completely eliminating the previously required cardanic connection. This new design significantly reduces the mechanical complexity and makes the machine much less sensitive to interfering materials. The result is increased operational reliability and a significantly longer service life, especially 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 liters, 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 important for reliable multi-shift operation.
The axial piston pump of the hydraulic unit is driven by a powerful motor with an output of up to 15 kW. This allows particularly high pressing pressures of up to 3,300 kg/cm2 to be built up, whereby the briquettes produced are extremely compacted. The remaining hydraulic components are also reinforced. The result: a longer service life and minimized maintenance costs. However, if the application requires significantly less power, motors from 5.5 kW are also available.
The movable matrix, in which the final briquette is formed, is subject to increased wear. For this reason, it is made of hardened steel and is also chrome-plated. The press plate next to it can be replaced in a few simple steps when it is worn. This ensures smooth operation.
Maximum flexibility. The large touch panel can be operated ergonomically for quick parameter adjustments (e.g. briquette length, number of briquettes per minute, density, etc.) when changing materials. It also visualizes various processes in the machine. To ensure that the electronics are optimally matched to the machine, we design, build and wire our control cabinets completely in-house. We only use high-quality brand components – for example from Siemens, Allen Bradley or Rittal.
The TH 700 M presses the loose materials into dimensionally stable round briquettes with a diameter of 70 mm. The briquette length can be variably adjusted on all machines. No binding materials or adhesives are used for compaction, only hydraulic pressing pressure.
