Success Case of ENERPAT® Iron Powder Briquetting Machine Line

1. Project Overview

l Project Name: Customized BM-1090 Iron Powder Briquetting Machine Line

l Client Name: Ansteel Group Co., Ltd.

l Project Location: Anshan City, Liaoning Province

l Implementation Time: September 2021

2. Project Background and Challenges

Ansteel Group, as the cradle of the steel industry in New China, has a large production scale and a long history. As production continues, the accumulation of iron shavings generated by multiple machine tools in the workshop has increasingly become a prominent issue. This occupies a significant amount of space and involves challenges related to the separation of cutting oil and environmental treatment. Ansteel Group introduced an advanced iron shavings processing solution—the ENERPAT® Iron Briquetting Machine Line to optimize the production environment and improve resource recovery efficiency.

3. Accurate Identification of Customer Needs

l Efficient Processing Capacity: Meet the daily iron shavings processing requirements generated by multiple machine tools.

l Space Optimization: Significantly reduce the area occupied by iron shavings, making storage and transportation easier.

l Environmental Compliance: Ensure that compressed iron briquettes are stable and free from oil leakage, in accordance with environmental standards.

l Cutting Oil Recovery: Effectively separate and collect cutting lubricating oil to achieve resource reuse.

l Automated Production: Establish an automated production line to reduce labor costs.

l Rational Layout: Design a scientifically reasonable equipment layout based on the actual situation of the workshop.

4. ENERPAT® Customized Solution

In response to the specific needs of Ansteel Group, ENERPAT has meticulously designed a comprehensive solution that includes an AGV cart, a feeding hoist, a BM-1090 iron powder briquetting machine, a centralized feed bin, a discharge conveyor, and a cutting fluid purification and collection tank. Through measures such as sample testing, automation process design, and sealing treatment, a fully automated, leak-free production process from iron shavings collection to briquette formation has been achieved.

Note: The core equipment, the iron briquetting machine, is also commonly referred to as metal chip briquetter, metal briquetting press, metal briquetting machine, metal briquetter, etc.

5. Project Achievements and Highlights

l Space Savings: The iron shavings compression ratio reaches up to 10:1, saving 90% of the workshop's floor space.

l Environmental Benefits: The oil content of the briquettes after pressing is low, with no leakage during storage. The cutting oil is collected centrally for reuse, contributing to green production.

l Economic Benefits: The value of recycled iron shavings is enhanced, with the recovery price increasing by approximately $115 per ton, thus boosting the company's profitability.

6. Customer Praise and Future Outlook

Ansteel Group highly praised ENERPAT's customized solution, noting that it not only addressed practical production challenges but also brought significant economic and environmental benefits. The collaboration between both parties has not only established a strong foundation of trust but also opened up vast opportunities for cooperation in more areas in the future. ENERPAT will continue to uphold the principle of customer priority, innovate continuously, and provide customers with more efficient and environmentally friendly customized solutions, working together to create a sustainable future.
