Routine maintenance includes oil level and condition checks, filter replacement, hose and fitting inspection, and seal replacement. Confirm the recommended interval for each item.
8. Supplier Support and Verification
Confirm warranty terms for the hydraulic system, cylinder, and mold. Check whether installation, operator training, and remote support are included.
A site trial using your own chips is more reliable than a catalog specification. Ask the supplier to run your material and report the briquette density, cycle time, and fluid recovery result.
If a trial is not possible, request a test report from a similar application and ask for references from customers processing the same material.
9. Cost and ROI
The purchase price covers only the press. Pre-treatment, conveying, installation, and spare parts add to the total project cost.
Aupwit publishes reference prices for the Y85 series (FOB, 45–60 days delivery):
モデル
Reference Price (FOB)
標準処理能力
Y85-80
$13,800

Y85-160SC
$41,500
150–400 kg/h
Y85-630D

The Y83 series is quoted separately based on force class and configuration. Industry estimates for complete systems range from $80,000 to $300,000, depending on scope. Confirm what each quote includes before comparing prices.
ROI comes from lower transport cost, recovered cutting fluid, and higher scrap price from denser briquettes. One Aupwit customer, OOO “RZKV” in Russia, reported an 18-month payback with 90% volume reduction and briquette density above 5,000 kg/m³. Details are in the OOO RZKV case study.
10. Configuration
Vertical and horizontal configurations differ in footprint, ceiling height, and feeding method. Vertical presses save floor space and suit gravity feeding. Horizontal presses offer easier integration with conveyors and long chips.
For a detailed comparison, see our guide on vertical vs horizontal briquetting presses. Check maintenance access around the hydraulic cylinder and mold before finalizing the layout.
Aupwit Hydraulic Briquetting Presses
Aupwit offers the Y83 vertical series and the Y85 series for different chip volumes and material types.
The Y83 series is a vertical hydraulic briquetting press for metal chips and swarf. It produces high-density briquettes from aluminum, copper, steel, and cast iron chips. An integrated fluid recovery system collects cutting fluids during compression.
The Y85 series covers compact models for lower-volume workshops and small chip batches. Single-output and double-output options match different throughput requirements.
Aupwit provides material testing and model selection based on chip type, volume, and target density.
結論
The right hydraulic briquetting press matches your hardest material, your actual chip volume, and your available space and labor. Density verification, not catalog pressure alone, is the deciding factor.
Aupwit offers vertical and horizontal hydraulic briquetting presses across multiple force classes. Aupwitにお問い合わせください with your chip type, weekly volume, and target briquette density. We will recommend the model and configuration that fits your operation.
よくある質問
What force do I need for steel chips vs aluminum chips?
Steel and cast iron require higher nominal force and longer dwell time than aluminum. A press sized for aluminum may produce low-density briquettes on steel. Confirm the model against your hardest material, not your most common one.
How do I verify briquette density before buying?
Ask for a test report using your material, or arrange an on-site trial. Catalog density figures are reference values. Actual density depends on chip condition, oil content, and press settings. A sample briquette from your own chips is the only reliable evidence.
