Design Concept & Product Story

You don’t start by looking for a chip briquetter. You start with a problem—metal chips piling up, storage space shrinking, and loose swarf losing value every time it leaves your workshop. What was once a small issue gradually turns into a daily operational burden.

That’s where the BM-12531 was developed. Instead of building just another scrap metal briquetter, we focused on what actually happens in your production line. Unstable feeding, material variations, and nonstop operation requirements pushed us to rethink the system from the ground up—stable dual-screw feeding, stronger hydraulic compression, and a structure built for continuous industrial use.

Over time, it evolved into more than a single machine. With intelligent PLC control, upgraded hydraulic performance, and compatibility with shredders and centrifuges, the BM-12531 becomes part of your full processing line. Not just compressing chips—but helping you turn metal waste into a more controlled, efficient, and profitable process, shift after shift.
