BM-D Series Dual-Output Scrap Metal Briquetter— Live Operation Demo

Key Challenges & ENERPAT Solutions

If your operation regularly processes granulated ACSR from retired transmission lines or cable manufacturing offcuts, you already know the hidden costs — valuable floor space swallowed by fluffy material, rising transport bills, and expensive cutting fluids left trapped in the scrap. What seems like minor waste issues quickly adds up to serious operational drag.
ENERPAT offers a straightforward fix with the BM-D Series double-output briquetting press — built specifically to densify, recover, and streamline your ACSR granule processing from the ground up.

Loose ACSR granules eat up your workshop space
Granulated ACSR from shredded cables looks harmless, but it expands into a low-density mountain in no time, creeping across your work floor, clogging walkways, and competing with actual production for space.
ENERPAT Solution
The BM-D Series crunches those fluffy ACSR granules into tight, stackable briquettes — shrinking volume by up to 90% — so you reclaim your floor space for work that really pays.
Your transport costs keep climbing
Because loose granules are so light and airy, you end up paying for more truckloads than the actual metal weight justifies. Every extra haul eats into your margins.
ENERPAT Solution
Dense briquettes mean more metal per load and fewer trips to the scrapyard. The BM-D Series helps you pack maximum payload into every shipment, driving down freight costs and logistics headaches.
Valuable cutting fluids are going to waste
After shredding and granulating ACSR cable, a surprising amount of cutting fluid and lubricant stays trapped inside the aluminum chips. That fluid gets hauled away with the scrap — and you keep buying fresh oil to replace it.
ENERPAT Solution
During compression, the BM-D Series squeezes out trapped fluids and recovers up to 95% of them for reuse. Less fluid loss means lower operating costs and a greener process overall.
Your operation needs to meet tougher environmental standards
Regulators are paying closer attention to industrial waste handling. Inefficient ACSR processing not only wastes material value but also puts your environmental compliance at risk.
ENERPAT Solution
Turning ACSR granules into high-density briquettes cuts your waste volume, boosts material recovery, and documents a clear commitment to sustainable practice — turning a compliance headache into a competitive advantage.
Loose ACSR scrap doesn't command top dollar
Recyclers and smelters aren't keen on loose granules — they contain too much air, too much oxidation, and too many impurities. Your material gets discounted before it even hits the furnace.
ENERPAT Solution
Dense briquettes from the BM-D Series are clean, uniform, and metal-rich — exactly what smelters prefer. The result: higher melting efficiency and a noticeably better price per ton.
Your work area gets messy — and risky
ACSR granules have a way of spreading everywhere — across floors, under equipment, mixed with oil residue. The steel core fragments add another layer of hazard, making slips and trips a real concern.
ENERPAT Solution
By consolidating ACSR waste right at the source, the BM-D Series keeps your workspace cleaner, drier, and safer — less sweeping, less spillage, fewer surprises underfoot.
Too much manual labor is tied up in chip handling
Collecting, moving, and storing granulated ACSR by hand is slow, labor-intensive, and keeps your crew tied down with repetitive, low-value work.
ENERPAT Solution
The BM-D Series runs on a fully automatic PLC control system — load it, set it, and let it run. The machine handles the briquetting continuously while your team focuses on higher-value tasks.

Feeding System

A vertical auger provides forced, stable material intake, while the horizontal auger features an anti‑bridging design to prevent blockages. This dual‑action feeding works in both directions, ensuring a consistent flow of granulated ACSR into the compression chamber – even when material consistency varies. The result is uninterrupted, reliable feeding that keeps your production line running smoothly.
Customizable Briquetting Mould

The mould cavity is manufactured from high‑hardness, high‑density wear‑resistant steel to produce uniform, firm briquettes with clean edges. Given that ACSR contains steel‑reinforced cores, the mould is specially hardened to withstand prolonged abrasion from these tougher particles. What's more, the briquette size can be adjusted to match your downstream customers' furnace specifications – giving you flexibility to meet different recycling or smelting requirements.
Cooling System

An industrial‑grade refrigeration unit keeps the hydraulic oil at optimal temperature around the clock. You can choose between fixed‑temperature control or ambient‑temperature tracking mode. The system automatically adjusts cooling output to maintain stable operating conditions, even during extended, multi‑shift runs – which significantly extends the service life of hydraulic seals and components.
Hydraulic System

The main hydraulic cylinders are machined from solid Baosteel round steel with a hollow‑out safety design and leak‑proof sealing. Integrated with internationally renowned components from Rexroth, Parker, and other top brands, the system delivers responsive, durable performance. We stand behind our cylinders with a 5‑year warranty, giving you long‑term peace of mind and lower maintenance costs.
PLC Control System

Equipped with a Siemens or Schneider PLC, the system offers one‑touch start‑up and fully automatic continuous operation – no dedicated operator required. Real‑time monitoring displays key parameters such as cycle time, current draw, and oil temperature. An intelligent alarm system quickly pinpoints any anomalies, allowing your team to respond immediately and minimise unplanned downtime.

Design Concept & Product Story

When we first started working with grid recyclers and cable manufacturers, we saw the same scene everywhere: piles of granulated ACSR swallowing floor space, oil‑soaked material leaking across concrete, and crews spending more time on scrap than on production. For many, ACSR offcuts were just waste to be hauled away.

That's why we developed the ENERPAT Scrap Metal Briquetter for Granulated ACSR. We didn't start from a spec sheet — we started by watching how ACSR actually behaves. How aluminum chips and steel cores mix, how fluids cling to the surface, how inconsistent feeding stalls a shift. The twin‑head output, the 100‑200 tons of force, the cooling and PLC systems — every detail came from your shop floor, not a conference room.

Today, running ACSR through this Scrap Metal Briquetter is simple: no more bottleneck, no more mess. Just a reliable, automated step in your recycling line — turning a disposal headache into a steady profit stream.

FAQ

Can the Scrap Metal Briquetter for Granulated ACSR handle both aluminum and steel from ACSR material?

Absolutely. The BM‑D Series was built specifically for granulated ACSR — where shredding and magnetic separation have already split the aluminum outer strands from the steel core. The 100–200 tons of pressing force handles aluminum chips with ease, while the hardened mould stands up to steel fines without wearing out prematurely. The result? Clean, dense briquettes with no costly mould damage over time.
How much volume reduction can I actually get from ACSR granules?

Expect up to 90% volume reduction. Loose, fluffy ACSR granules take up a lot of space — one load becomes one-tenth the volume after briquetting. The briquettes come out uniform and dense, meeting smelter specifications and fetching better prices than loose, oil‑soaked material.
How does the machine recover cutting fluids from ACSR granules?

The compression cycle does the work — pressure forces trapped cutting fluids and lubricants out of the aluminum chips and steel fragments. The integrated recovery system captures up to 95% of those fluids so you can reuse them. Less fluid loss means lower operating costs, plain and simple.
What's the advantage of the twin-head design over a standard metal briquetting machine?

A conventional metal briquetting machine turns out one briquette per cycle. The BM‑D Series gives you two — at the same cycle time. That's effectively double the throughput without doubling the floor space or power draw. If your granulator output consistently outruns what a single‑head press can handle, this is the answer.
Will the BM‑D Series fit into my existing ACSR processing setup?

Yes — and it's designed to slide right in downstream of your shredder and granulator. The feeding system takes material directly from your conveyor or hopper, with vertical auger forced feeding and a horizontal auger that prevents bridging. The Siemens/Schneider PLC makes operation as simple as pressing start. No major re-engineering required.
What kind of regular upkeep does the ENERPAT metal swarf compactor need?

Nothing out of the ordinary — check hydraulic oil levels and quality, keep an eye on mould wear, and watch for leaks. The cooling system keeps oil temperatures stable during round‑the‑clock operation, so components last longer. And when you do need parts — moulds, seals, hydraulic components — we keep them in stock and ship them fast to get you back in business.
