Client Background and Challenges
A leading UK metalworking manufacturer specializing in aerospace-grade titanium alloy components faces significant issues handling large volumes of titanium swarf generated during precision machining:
Waste accumulation: Loose titanium swarf occupies valuable workshop space, disrupts 5S workplace organization, and poses safety risks.
Resource inefficiency: Uncompacted swarf contains over 5% oil, causing a 15% drop in melting efficiency and increased raw material loss when directly remelted.
Production bottlenecks: Conventional briquetting machines produce inconsistent briquette sizes (±10mm diameter variance), preventing automated stacking and requiring manual sorting.
In October 2024, the client contacted ENERPAT through their Titanium Swarf Briquetting Press product page. After six months of technical evaluation and solution refinement, they selected the VBM-360 model metal chip compactor.
ENERPAT Metal Chips Briquetting Press Line
Solution: How the VBM-360 Titanium Swarf Briquetting Press Supports Precision Manufacturing
1. Precise Briquetting Tailored to Production Needs
±0.5mm precision mold: Matches the client’s 90mm diameter requirement, producing briquettes with a density of 3.5g/cm³ ready for direct electric arc furnace remelting, reducing titanium loss.
Centrifugal oil extraction: Achieves residual oil content below 0.5%, preventing contamination in the melting process and improving molten titanium purity.
2. Seamless Integration for Lean Manufacturing
Automated line synchronization: Connects directly with the client’s CNC machining centers to continuously collect and briquette swarf with minimal human intervention.
24/7 operation: Handles 30 tons of swarf daily—doubling throughput compared to previous equipment—and supports the client’s zero waste inventory objective.

Industrial-Grade Reliability Meets Manufacturing Standards
Military-grade components: Equipped with Bosch Rexroth hydraulic systems and Siemens PLC control, delivering a mean time between failures (MTBF) exceeding 8,000 hours.
Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT): Client engineering team witnessed a 10-hour continuous briquetting test with a 100% pass rate for finished briquettes.
Client Feedback
