What is small metal briquette machine?
The small metal briquette machine is a compact hydraulic press that uses high pressure (typically ≤100 tons) to compress loose metal scraps into dense, solid briquettes. The simple, powerful forming technology directly solves three major challenges in metal recycling, making it an essential tool for modern scrap processing.
- Minimize Metal Loss
During smelting, fine and lightweight metal particles are easily burned or oxidized, leading to high material loss. By compressing these loose particles into solid briquettes, the small metal briquette machine greatly reduces melting losses and increases the metal recovery rate with low cost — ultimately boosting profitability. - Reduce Scrap Volume
Loose metal chips take up significant storage space and are expensive to transport. Briquetting machine transforms them into compact, high-density blocks that are easy to handle, store, and transport, helping reduce logistics costs and improve workshop efficiency. - Improve Recycling Value
Small, irregular or low-value metal scraps are often sold cheaply or discarded. By compressing them into dense briquettes, the mini metal briquette machine turns waste into valuable material, achieving full utilization of metal resources and contributing to sustainable recycling.
In summary, the small metal chip briquetting machine is ideal for compacting soft and ductile metal scraps. With simple structure, low cost, and reliable performance, it’s perfectly suited for small-scale or low-volume metal recycling factory or scrapyards.

Structure & function of Small Briquette Machine
Our small metal chips briquetting machine is composed of three key parts — the equipment machine body, hydraulic system and electrical system. These three sections work in seamless to ensure excellent performance and reliable operation. The details of each component are shown below:
Consists of a compression chamber, a main hydraulic cylinder, a gate cylinder, a die, a punch, a punch rod, a feeding hopper, and a screw feeder.
The small metal briquette machine frame belongs to horizontal compression type, the front end of the main hydraulic cylinder is connected to the compression chamber via a flange. The mold sleeve is fixed inside its base, and the punch rod is connected with the top of the cylinder’s piston lever via hexagonal socket head caps. Both the die sleeve and the punch rod are removable and replaceable.
The screw feeder is driven by a gear motor. The transverse screw collects metal shavings from the hopper towards the center, while the longitudinal screw transfers the gathered chips to the compression chamber.
Consists of a motor, oil pump, combination valve, pressure gauge, level gauge, high-pressure hose, cooler, thermometer, air filter, and filter screen.
Hydraulic oil, after being pumped, enters the cylinder through pipelines and valve bodies, and the valve bodies control the reciprocating motion of the cylinders so that our small briquetting machine achieves actions such as squeezing, restoring, and feeding. Its pressure is adjusted by the relief valve on the side of the combination valve.
If oil temperature is too high (60℃), the small briquette press must stop working!
Consists of electronic components such as control switches, PLC, contactors, relays, overload protectors, pressure sensors, and temperature sensors. It operates stably within a pre-programmed sequence.
How does our small metal briquette machine work?
Here you can see the working process of our small hydraulic briquette machine. Our home use metal briquette machine operates through an advanced hydraulic system that automatically compresses loose metal chips into dense, solid briquettes. The process is simple, efficient, and fully automated — designed to save time, reduce waste, and increase recycling profitability.
Automatic Mode of Small Metal Briquetting Machine
Step 1: Retract the main cylinder and close the gate cylinder, then load metal chips into hopper.
Step 2: Choose automatic mode and the compact briquette machine will automatically feed chips into its compression chamber according to preset time.
Step 3: Once the chamber is fully filled, main cylinder begins pressing. After reaching preset pressure, the main cylinder retracts for one second.
Step 4: After gate opens, the main cylinder continues forward to push out the pressed block.
Step 5: Switch the control knob to Auto and press Start to begin fully automatic cycle.
Step 6: Before starting full automation operation, please first manually compress 3 to 5 briquettes to make the auxiliary oil tank at the top fill with hydraulic fluid.
Manual Mode of Small Metal Briquetting Machine
Step 1: Starting position: Main cylinder retracts to the bottom, gate cylinder closes.
Step 2: Screw feeding (low pressure).
Step 3: Main cylinder goes forward (compaction, high pressure).
Step 4: Main cylinder retracts for 1 second (release pressure).
Step 5: Gate opens (rising to the top).
Step 6: Main cylinder goes forward (expelling blocks, low pressure).
Step 7: Main cylinder returns (to the bottom).
Step 8: Gate closes (low pressure).
What can small metal briquette machine process & what can you get?
The BSGH Granulator small metal briquette machine is a compact and efficient solution — the ideal entry-level briquetting press for small to medium production volumes. Before processing, the raw materials are loose metal chips and shavings, such as copper, aluminum, steel, and cast iron. After compression, these materials are transformed into dense, high-quality metal briquettes that are easy to handle, store, and recycle. Let’s take a closer look at how metal chips briquettes looks like.
