In Southington, Connecticut—close to New Haven—metal processing and precision manufacturing are highly concentrated. A local manufacturer recently faced a familiar but urgent challenge: Their existing briquetting machine failed Aluminium chips began piling up rapidly Daily output reached 600–1000 kg of loose chips Workshop space was quickly consumed Scrap handling became inefficient and unsafe At this point, aluminium chips were no longer just a by-product—they were disrupting production. You’ve likely seen the same situation: loose, oily chips taking over valuable floor space while coolant drips create safety and compliance risks.
A precision machining company based in Brazil, Indiana has recently installed an ENERPAT BM-570 small metal briquetter press machine to improve the handling and recycling of metal chips generated during production. The customer operates as a job shop machine shop, providing contract machining services for multiple industries. Their facility utilizes CNC turning centers and Swiss-type automatic lathes, which generate a continuous flow of metal chips during daily operations.
As Thailand’s metal recycling industry continues to shift toward higher environmental standards and higher material value recovery, Metal Chip Wringers are becoming a critical piece of processing equipment—especially for copper, aluminum, and ferrous chips contaminated with cutting fluids and lubric
