Small-Scale Metal Swarf Shredding and Briquetting

Metal swarf and machining chips are common by-products of CNC machining, metalworking, and fabrication. When left loose, these materials can take up considerable storage space, tangle, and become difficult to handle or transport. A compact shredding and briquetting system provides a practical way to prepare this waste for more efficient recycling.

How to Recycle Metal Swarf and CNC Chips at Low Cost
For small workshops and new recycling businesses, a mini double shaft shredder combined with a metal chip briquetting machine can provide a simple, space-efficient solution. The shredder breaks up long, tangled swarf and prepares the material for compaction, while the briquetting press compresses the processed chips into dense, uniform briquettes.

The system can be configured for different types of metal swarf, including iron, aluminum, stainless steel, and copper. By reducing the volume of loose chips and producing compact briquettes, it makes the material easier to store, handle, transport, and prepare for remelting.

A customized 400 kg/h metal chip shredding and briquetting solution has been designed for a customer in Malaysia, demonstrating how the equipment can be configured for smaller-scale metal recycling applications. For workshops looking to improve CNC metal chip handling or startups entering the metal recycling market, this compact two-machine solution offers a straightforward approach without the footprint of a large industrial recycling line. If you are planning to recycle metal swarf, send us your material type, chip size, and required capacity so we can recommend a suitable shredding and briquetting configuration.
