RUF metal press

Grinding chips are created by the grinding of metal components. It is a mixture of metal and corundum abrasion in combination with the cutting fl uids being used. By briquetting, the waste is reduced significantly and the briquettes possess a defi ned residual moisture. Thus, the disposal costs are reducedand depending upon the alloy, there is even the opportunity to sell the briquettes with a profit. In most cases, the expensive oil contained in the cutting fl uid can be reused. The briquetting system can already payoff for itself within less than 12 months by processing about 10 to 30 tons of the expensive oil contained in the cutting fl uid per year. Depending on the requirements, our briquetting systems for grinding chips are equipped with hydraulic motors ranging from 4kW to 22kW, and reach a specifi c pressure of up to 3,800 kg/cm². The throughput of the RUF briquetting systems - especially for grinding chips - range from 40 to 350 kg/h.

The latest addition to the RUF Maschinenbau portfolio, the low-cost RUF Formica, is a new briquetting system designed for the metals industries. Configured for small to mid sized batches in a wide range of applications, it frees a lot of storage space and simplifies logistics, making it in addition an attractive investment for production companies generating only small chip quantities.

The RUF SZ1+ briquetting system presses loose wood chips into compact briquettes. The high pressure ensures a constant high quality and density. As an entrylevel model of our wood presses, the SZ1+ is available in a standard design with proven RUF technology for small capacities (30 – 60 kg/hour). Benefits: Compact design Low wear Plug-in ready at delivery Easy operation with touchpanel Wide spectrum of additional compressible materials (wood, paper, styrofoam, ...) Automatic feeding of briquettes to industrial combustion plants possible

For every need a suitable press: All briquetting systems of the RUF LIGNUM series process residual wood at a constantly high level of quality and density – from dust to wood shavings and coarse chips. The remaining water content must be less than 15% in order to create briquettes with consistent quality and thickness. For every requirement the right format: The rectangular briquettes can therefore be perfectly stacked and bundled into packages . The briquette formats 150x60mm and 40x70mm are available. Optimized throughput rates with our LIGNUM series: All RUF LIGNUM models are highly energy effi cient thanks to their innovative RUF hydraulic system. The further improvement of the hydraulic system of the LIGNUM R2 and LIGNUM R4 has led to an effi ciency increase of around 25%. Briquetter for wood have depending on model & material throughput rates between 410and 1,050 kg/hr.
