The RUF 11/2400/60x60 Briquette Press is a high-capacity hydraulic briquetting system designed to compact metal chips such as aluminium, steel, brass, and copper into dense, uniform briquettes. Manufactured in Germany, the system provides an efficient and reliable solution for metalworking operations seeking to reduce waste volume while recovering valuable materials.
Using powerful hydraulic compression, the machine compacts loose metal swarf without the need for binding agents, producing durable briquettes with consistent density and strong structural integrity. These briquettes are easier to handle, transport, and store, while improving efficiency in recycling and downstream metal recovery processes.
A key benefit of the system is its ability to recover residual cutting fluids during the briquetting process. This enables businesses to reuse valuable coolants, reduce fluid consumption, and minimise disposal costs. The resulting briquettes are cleaner and drier, increasing their value for resale or recycling.
The 11/2400/60x60 is engineered for continuous industrial operation with a high throughput capacity, making it suitable for large-scale metal processing facilities handling significant volumes of metal waste. Its robust hydraulic system ensures reliable and consistent briquetting while helping to lower operating and material handling costs.
With a heavy-duty industrial design and compact footprint relative to its capacity, the machine can be integrated into existing production lines or installed as a standalone system. The proven German engineering behind RUF systems ensures long-term durability while helping businesses optimise waste management and maximise the value of metal scrap.
