Draining and compressing metal swarf with the WEIMA C.200 press
Our hydraulic drainage presses are a clean, sustainable and economical solution to dispose of or resell chips produced during machining. The C.200 produces discs with a diameter of 200 mm. Chips, which are generated during turning, milling, drilling or other machining activities, are pressed and then transported drip-free into a container. The pressed-out cooling lubricants and oils can then be returned to the processing machine.

Typical reasons for production rejects

  • Under or overfilled packaging
  • Overproduction
  • Incorrect labeling
  • Incorrect content or recipe
  • Damaged packaging
  • Rinsing batches when changing recipes
  • Returns and returns

If the reject material is not suitable for further recycling for hygienic or quality reasons, it does not necessarily have to end up unused in waste. Rejects are often suitable as an energy source (incineration or fermentation) or even as fertilizer or feed on farms.

From daingage to briquetting - complete solutions for maximum efficiency!

Depending on the application and objective, additional production steps such as crushing, granulating, washing or briquetting may be required before or after dewatering. WEIMA offers the right machine technology that is ideally suited to your production requirements – all from a single source for seamless integration and maximum process quality.
