Look beyond the scrap bin. Build a clearer picture of what better metal recovery could mean for your operation.
THE BUSINESS CASE FOR BRIQUETTING
Briquetting turns loose metal chips and turnings into dense, manageable material. Along the way, it can help recover cutting fluids, simplify handling, and prepare scrap for its next use.
The return depends on your material, production volume, scrap buyer, and operating costs. A useful analysis looks at the additional value you can recover alongside the cost of the complete system.

Scrap revenue is one part of the picture. Your operation may also benefit from recovered fluids and more manageable material.
Dense briquettes can be more attractive to a scrap buyer than loose, wet chips. Confirm the expected price for your material with your buyer.
Cutting fluids pressed from chips can be collected for treatment and potential reuse, helping reduce replacement-fluid requirements.
Compact material can simplify storage, loading, and transport. Consider the time and space your current scrap process requires.
Briquettes have less exposed surface area than loose chips, which can help reduce oxidation and slag formation during remelting.
