AUPWIT offers a full range of metal briquetting machines for metal swarf processing and chip recycling. Our presses handle light metals like aluminum and magnesium, as well as heavy metals including steel, copper, brass, bronze, cast iron, and titanium. Briquetting also reduces in-house logistics by converting hard-to-handle chips into stackable, transportable briquettes.
The cold briquetting process uses hydraulic pressure to reduce scrap volume by up to 90% while recovering expensive cutting fluids. Capacities range from 30 kg/h to over 1,500 kg/h. AUPWIT machines feature Siemens and Schneider PLC control systems for 24/7 unattended operation, along with tailored configurations that meet EU environmental standards for fluid recovery and emission control.

For stainless steel, titanium, or hard alloys, select SC series models with dual-motor technology and enhanced dewatering channels. For foundry or casting applications that require maximum density (5–7 T/m³), choose the Y83 vertical series.
Based on the specification tables above, here is a quick guide to match your daily throughput with the right model series. For a precise recommendation, contact us with your material type and production volume.
| Your daily throughput | Recommended models | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Small workshop (under 500 kg/day) | Y85-50 or Y85-80 | Low investment, compact, direct CNC connection |
| Medium factory (1–2 tons/day) | Y85-160 or Y85-200 | Best price-performance ratio |
| Large production (over 3 tons/day) | Y85-500, Y85-630, or SC series | Maximum throughput, dual-motor density, lowest long-term cost |
| Foundry / casting application | Y83-315Z to Y83-1250WZ | Ultra-high density (5-7 T/m³), furnace-ready briquettes |

AUPWIT briquetting systems are designed for easy integration into existing production lines. We provide matching peripheral solutions including chip conveyors, feed hoppers, and optional lifting devices. Each solution is configured to your specific layout and material flow.
We also offer non-binding advice to help you select the right equipment. Our team works with you to design a complete briquetting solution tailored to your production environment, from material intake to briquette discharge.
AUPWIT briquetting presses compress and dewater metal swarf in a single process. During compression, cutting fluids and coolants are squeezed out and collected for reuse, with recovery rates up to 97% and briquettes that are up to 99% dry. This is especially valuable for wet chips and grinding sludge, where traditional gravity draining leaves significant fluid residue.
By recovering these fluids, you reduce new fluid purchases and lower disposal costs. In many cases, recovered coolant can be filtered and returned directly to your machining operation.
Loose chips from reactive metals like magnesium, aluminum, and titanium ignite easily due to their high surface area. Briquetting compresses these chips into dense, stable briquettes, reducing fire risk and eliminating the need for special handling or DOT classification.
Test how your material performs at our Technical Centre. The service is free and carries no obligation. You only cover the transport cost of your material. We can test your chips on the machine that best matches your production needs. Results include briquette density, volume reduction, and fluid recovery data.
You are welcome to observe the test on site, or we can send you a detailed pressing report with sample briquettes.

Key results:
From light metals to hard alloys. From solid chips to grinding sludge.
AUPWIT briquetting machines handle a wide range of metals: aluminum, steel, cast iron, copper, brass, bronze, titanium, and magnesium. We also process sawing waste, milling swarf, grinding sludge, powdered special alloys, and mixed metal waste streams. In short, if it comes from a machining operation, we can briquette it.
The images below show loose chips on the left and the corresponding briquette on the right. The difference is clear: reduced volume, recovered fluids, and a material form that is ready for transport, storage, or melting.

The SC series features dual-motor technology and enhanced dewatering channels. It delivers higher briquette density and is recommended for stainless steel, titanium, and hard alloys that require extra compression force.
The Y85 series works with steel, aluminum, copper, brass, and bronze. For ultra-high density (foundry applications) or maximum throughput (stainless steel and titanium), choose the Y83 vertical or Y85 SC dual-motor series. We can optimize a single machine for your specific mix of materials.
AUPWIT presses arrive pre-assembled and tested. On-site installation typically requires a flat concrete foundation, proper clearance, and connection to your power supply. Our team provides installation guidance and remote support. For larger models, on-site commissioning service is available upon request.
Our standard delivery time is 45 to 60 days from order confirmation. This applies to our Y85 series, including Y85-80, Y85-160SC, and Y85-630D. Custom configurations, special material requirements, or large-quantity orders may extend the lead time. We will confirm the exact schedule upon order placement and provide tracking updates throughout the production process.
Routine maintenance includes hydraulic oil changes, filter replacements, and periodic die inspection. Our service team can develop a regular inspection plan based on your operating conditions, covering equipment operating parameters, mechanical component wear, and electrical wiring connections. All AUPWIT briquetters are designed for low maintenance requirements. We provide full documentation and remote support.
For a detailed guide on diagnosing and fixing common issues, read our Briquette press Troubleshooting & maintenance Guide.
Payback depends on material type, throughput, and current disposal costs. For aluminum chips at 1 ton per day, typical payback ranges from 6 to 18 months. We provide a cost-saving estimate during consultation.
Yes. All AUPWIT briquetting machines come with a standard warranty. We also provide remote technical support, spare parts supply, and on-site service when needed. Full documentation including operation manuals and maintenance schedules is included with every machine.
Each model requires a 3-phase power connection with the specific kW rating listed in the specification tables above (e.g., Y85-160 needs 22KW+2.2KW). Most models do not require compressed air for standard operation. For exact utility requirements, refer to the installation manual for your selected model.
