Description
12" x 6" x 6" Approximate Brick
72" x 30" x 19" Approximate Box
Approximate Specifications:
- Motor: 30 HP, 3-phase, 60 Hz, 220/440 V (some units 230/460 V)
- Hydraulics: Vickers pump
- Cylinders: Main 8" bore; 2nd compression 9" bore; cover 4" bore
- Compression forces: 1st ~60 tons; 2nd ~76 tons; cover door ~15 tons
- Charging box: ~72" L × 30" W × 19–20" D (~25 cu ft)
- Brick size: 12" × 6" × 6"
- Cycle time: ~36 sec (excluding hopper time) ' ~100 bricks/hour
- Average bale weights: ~10 lb aluminum, ~30 lb steel clips, ~38 lb copper
- Controls: automatic cycling, bale ejector, compression door
- Dimensions: ~105" W × 60" H × 186" L (machine body) or ~18' L × 9'6" W × 5' H
- Weight: ~18,000 lbs
- Feed conditioning is critical: oily or wet chips lower density and raise fire risk.
- Electrical check: verify taps/transformers before energizing; many units wired 230/460 V.
- Throughput: ~1,000–3,800 lb/hr depending on alloy; best for chip densification, not high-volume UBC briquetting.
