In the heart of Thailand's rapidly expanding industrial sector, efficiency and sustainability are no longer just "options"—they are the prerequisites for survival. Recently, ENERPAT successfully commissioned a dual-line de-oiling solution for a prominent Thai copper recycler, featuring our flagship Metal Chip Wringer Centrifuge technology. This project highlights a shift in the Southeast Asian market toward high-purity metal recovery and automated waste management.
The Challenge: When Inefficient De-oiling Halts Production
Our client, a major player in the Thai copper recycling network, specializes in processing granular copper particles and brass chips. Their goal was twofold: reduce the moisture and oil content of their chips to below 3% and recover expensive cutting fluids for resale or reuse.
Before partnering with ENERPAT, the client faced a critical bottleneck. Their existing industrial centrifuge machine was prone to material jamming, leading to frequent unscheduled downtime. This "technical glitch" crippled their entire Metal Chips Briquetting Press Line, as the downstream briquetting process requires consistently dry material to produce high-quality copper bars for smelting.

The ENERPAT Solution: A Custom-Engineered Dual Line
After a comprehensive site audit in Thailand, ENERPAT engineers identified that a "one-size-fits-all" approach wouldn't suffice. To maximize their 12-ton daily capacity (10 tons of copper chips and 2 tons of wire), we implemented a strategic upgrade:
1. Line A (High Volume): Integrated the ENERPAT ED800 Metal Chip Wringer to handle bulk processing.
2. Line B (Precision Flow): Integrated the ENERPAT ED400 Metal Chip Wringer for specialized batches.
3. Automation: Both lines were equipped with automated feeding conveyors and discharge systems to eliminate manual labor and prevent the "jamming" issues that plagued their previous setup.

Technical Specifications: The Power Behind the Performance
To help you choose the right fit for your facility, here are the parameters for the models installed in this project:
Feature | ED-400 Metal Chip Wringer | ED-800 Metal Chip Wringer |
Basket Diameter | 400 mm | 800 mm |
Residual Oil Rate | 3% - 5% | 3% - 5% |
Motor Power | 5.5 kW | 11 kW |
Max Speed | 1500 r/min | 1500 r/min |
Material Size Range | 3 - 50 mm | 3 - 50 mm |
Dimensions (L×W×H) | 1600 × 1400 × 1600 mm | 2600 × 1800 × 1900 mm |
Why Global Manufacturers Choose the Metal Chip Wringer & Centrifuges
The ENERPAT ED Series is designed for the rigors of 24/7 industrial environments. Key features that secured our client’s trust include:
Self-Cleaning Collection Chamber: Features an automatic flush function that prevents fine chips from clogging the oil outlet.
Hydraulic Discharge Plate: Unlike gravity-fed systems, our hydraulic plate adapts to different chip shapes, ensuring consistent throughput.
Stainless Steel Wedge Wire Basket: High durability and anti-clogging design ensure that the chip wringer centrifuge maintains a drying efficiency of over 97%.
Intelligent Vibration Control: Equipped with shock absorbers and vibration sensors to protect the machine and the factory floor from excessive centrifugal forces.

Market Insight: Why Thailand is Transitioning to Automated De-oiling
If you are currently hesitating to upgrade your equipment, the Thai market data suggests that the time to act is now.
Policy Shifts: Starting June 24, 2025, Thailand will enforce a total ban on the import of electronic waste. This puts the spotlight on local scrap processing. Only those with high-efficiency Metal Chip Wringer technology will be able to process local scrap to the purity levels required by top-tier smelters.
Explosive Growth: Thailand produced approximately 26.95 million tons of waste in 2023. With the government’s "BCG" (Bio-Circular-Green) model, tax incentives are increasingly favoring companies that invest in ENERPAT Metal Chips Recycling Machines.
Industry Demand: As the "Detroit of the East," Thailand’s automotive and electronics sectors generate massive volumes of oily swarf. Manual cleaning is no longer compliant with environmental discharge standards.
The Verdict from the Field
Our Thai client has now seen a significant reduction in labor costs and a measurable increase in the "sale-ready" quality of their copper. Their facility has become an ENERPAT Reference Site, proving that with the right Metal Chip Wringer Centrifuge, waste is simply a misplaced resource.
