Metal chips recycling and briquette presses for aluminum waste
WEIMA briquetting presses are suitable for numerous materials in metal processing, especially for metal chips. They process light metals such as aluminum and magnesium as well as heavier metals such as copper, brass and bronze. In addition, sawing and milling waste in the form of swarf, special alloys in powder form, slag compounds, battery waste and grinding sludge can be compacted without any problems. These briquette presses are ideal for companies that want to efficiently recycle or process their metal swarf and waste.

Briquetting with WEIMA offers enormous economic advantages. By reducing the volume by up to 90 %, companies save valuable storage space and significantly reduce their disposal costs. The briquettes produced are easier to store and transport. They can either be recycled directly or sold at a profit, which significantly increases the value of the metal waste.

Metal briquetting as part of the recycling cycle
From aluminum to steel - WEIMA briquettes everything!
WEIMA metal briquette presses are not only suitable for light metals such as aluminum and magnesium, but also for heavier metals such as copper, brass and bronze. Sawing and milling waste in the form of metal chips, steel chips, special alloys in powder form and complex materials such as slag compounds, battery waste and grinding sludge can also be processed efficiently. The briquetting process transforms these metal shavings and other materials into dense briquettes that are ideal for further processing or sale, significantly increasing the value of the metal shavings.
By reducing the volume, you save space and reduce transportation costs. In addition, the briquetting process enables the recovery of valuable cooling lubricants and oils that can be reused. The metal briquettes can be melted down directly and ensure less slag and less burn-off, which makes the melting process significantly more efficient.

Practical examples of successful metal compaction with WEIMA presses.
Why pay when you can save? Reduce your disposal costs!
WEIMA metal briquetting presses can significantly reduce the volume of metal waste, saving space and drastically reducing disposal costs. Briquetting transforms waste into valuable materials that can either be sold or fed back into the production process.
Selling metal waste instead of disposing of it? No problem with WEIMA!
The briquetting of metal, especially dry chips, offers considerable economic advantages. With WEIMA metal briquetting presses, the briquettes produced can either be resold or fed directly into the recycling process. In addition, the oil contained in the chips is efficiently recovered through dewatering. The C.200 dewatering process maximizes the value of the recycled metals and increases production efficiency.

Future-oriented metal recycling: De Rooy relies on WEIMA solutions for briquetting and dewatering
The collaboration between De Rooy, Nuenen in the Netherlands and WEIMA Maschinenbau GmbH shows how the circular economy can be implemented in metal processing. They worked together on a solution to not only transport and dispose of metal waste such as grinding sludge and aluminium chips in a space-saving and cost-effective manner, but also to convert it into valuable, reusable materials.
