The Crisis: Oil-Soaked Copper Chips Threatening Survival
A Thailand-based copper scrap processor faced collapsing profits. Their brass chips retained 5-8% residual oil – far exceeding downstream buyers’ strict 3-5% hydration tolerance. With 12 tons of copper chips and wire processed daily, their legacy Metal Chip Wringer constantly jammed, paralyzing two production lines. Manual feeding and hourly breakdowns slashed output by 40%, while unrecovered coolant drained potential revenue.
Their Urgent Query to ENERAPT:
*“Need machinery separating oil/water from brass with ≤3% residual hydration. Do you have equipment matching these specs?”*
A Thai client visited ENERPAT to test our metal chip de-oiling and briquetting machines!
On-Site Evaluation and Problem Identification
Invited to the client's facility, Tina observed the existing setup firsthand. The site featured two copper chip processing lines, each comprising manual feeding, an outdated Metal Chip Wringer prone to clogging, and a copper chip briquetting press. The frequent breakdowns of the copper chip spinner machines were causing significant downtime and inefficiency. Recognizing the need for a comprehensive upgrade, Tina proposed a solution centered around ENERPAT's advanced metal chip centrifuge models.
Customized Solution Implementation
After a thorough assessment of the client's processing volumes, ENERPAT recommended replacing the problematic de-oiling machines with two of its high-performance models: the ED800 for the main production line and the ED400 for the smaller line. Additionally, to minimize manual labor and enhance productivity, each line was equipped with feeding conveyors and chip discharge machines, forming a complete Metal Chips Briquetting Press Line.
ENERPAT Metal Chip Centrifuge: Features and Benefits
ENERPAT's ED series metal chip centrifuge is designed for high-capacity, automated de-oiling of various metal chips, including iron, aluminum, and copper. The centrifuge operates by subjecting the material to centrifugal force, effectively separating oil from the metal chips. The oil is collected and discharged through a dedicated channel, while the de-oiled material is continuously expelled from the bottom of the machine.
Key Features:
PLC and Touch Screen Control: Precise control over de-oiling time, ensuring high efficiency and oil recovery rates. The dried material achieves an oil content of less than 3%.
Oil Collection Tank with Auto-Flush: Prevents clogging from fine chips, maintaining optimal performance.
Hydraulic Discharge Plate: Adaptable to various chip shapes, preventing a sharp decline in de-oiling efficiency.
Stainless Steel Wedge-Shaped Screen: Resistant to clogging and corrosion, offering high separation efficiency and reducing drying time.
Vibration Isolator: Equipped with a vibration sensor, the machine automatically adjusts its operating state to prevent damage from excessive vibration.
