THE VALUE OF BETTER RECOVERY
Revenue estimate only. Equipment and operating costs are excluded.
This calculator uses model-based throughput, material multipliers of ×1 for aluminum, ×2 for cast iron/steel, and ×3 for brass/copper, with an 80% operating factor. Monthly estimates use four weeks; annual estimates use 52 weeks. RST1000BLG estimates are available for aluminum at a stated capacity of up to 800 lb/hr.
Actual throughput depends on your material and input density. Scrap sample testing helps determine suitable equipment and expected performance. These figures estimate additional scrap revenue and exclude equipment costs, operating costs, and changes in market prices.
MORE VALUE FROM YOUR MATERIAL
Briquetting can also improve material recovery and simplify the way scrap moves through your operation.
Dense briquettes have less exposed surface area than loose chips, helping reduce oxidation and the formation of slag when material is remelted.
Briquetting presses cutting fluids out of wet metal chips, helping recover valuable liquids and prepare drier material for handling or remelting.
Dense, manageable briquettes are easier to store, transport, and feed into your process, helping reduce the handling losses associated with loose chips.
