The RUF RAP 4/3800/60x40 Briquette Press is a high-performance hydraulic system designed to process metal chips such as aluminium, steel, brass, and copper into dense, compact briquettes. Manufactured in Germany, the machine provides an efficient solution for metalworking operations looking to reduce waste volume and recover valuable resources.
Using powerful hydraulic compression, the system compacts loose metal swarf without the need for binding agents, producing uniform briquettes with high density and structural stability. The resulting briquettes significantly reduce storage space requirements and are easier to handle, transport, and recycle or resell.
A key advantage of the RAP series is its ability to recover residual cutting fluids during the briquetting process. This allows businesses to reuse expensive coolants while reducing environmental impact and disposal costs. The briquettes produced are cleaner, drier, and more suitable for downstream recycling processes.
The RAP 4/3800/60x40 is engineered for continuous operation with a high throughput capacity, making it suitable for medium to large-scale metal processing facilities. Its robust hydraulic design ensures reliable performance, while maintaining low operating and maintenance requirements.
With an industrial-grade construction and compact system layout, the machine can be integrated into existing production lines or installed as a standalone solution. The proven German engineering behind RUF systems ensures long-term durability, enabling businesses to improve efficiency, reduce waste handling costs, and maximise the value of metal scrap.
