Metso presses turn metals into compact briquettes

Helsinki, Finland-based Metso’s N Series NSP briquetting presses turn steel, aluminum, cast iron and other metals into a compact form for handling and transporting. Firmly packed, high-density briquettes are designed to increase metal recovery by enabling more accurate metering and reducing burn-off during melting. 

The single-ram presses are equipped with a constant feeding system and a programmable logic controller (PLC). N Series briquetting presses also have an operating system with a remote diagnosis option for support from the Metso service team. 

Metso N Series NSP briquetting presses make use of high specific pressures designed to enable the pressing of stable and solid briquettes and simultaneous fluid extraction.

"The high-density briquettes made with the NSP briquetting presses improve processing, enhance efficiency and speed up logistics. The briquettes are easier to handle and meter when remelting. They increase metal yield by cutting burn-off loss. The briquettes also reduce volume and thus result in lower storage and transportation costs," says Krischan Wolters, product manager of shears and balers in Europe, Metso.  
 
Metso N Series NSP briquetting presses can be used independently or integrated into various processing plants regardless of size.
