12" x 6" x 6" Approximate Brick
72" x 30" x 19" Approximate Box

- Brick size: 12" × 6" × 6"
- Charging box: ~72" L × 30" W × 19–20" D (~25 cu ft)
- Cycle time: ~36 sec (excluding hopper time) ' ~100 bricks/hour
- Average brick weights: ~10 lb aluminum, ~30 lb steel chips, ~38 lb copper
- Compression forces: 1st ~60 tons; 2nd ~76 tons; cover door ~15 tons
- Hydraulics: Vickers power unit/pump; main cylinder 8" bore, 2nd compression 9", cover 4"
- Motor: ~30 HP, 3-phase, typically 220/440 or 230/460 V, 60 Hz
- 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 lb
- Feed conditioning is critical: oily/wet chips reduce density and raise fire risk.
- Electrical: many NF-2s wired 230/460 V; confirm taps/transformers before energizing.
- Throughput: ~1,000–3,800 lb/hr depending on alloy; suited for chip densification, not high-volume UBC briquetting.
