The METALBRIK series of hydraulic briquetting presses are industrial machines designed to operate in automatic mode. Developed to densify and to make maximum use of metal scraps such as cast iron, aluminium, copper, steel, brass, zinc, bronze, titanium and magnesium, they are also suitable for treating a variety of other machining scraps.

The briquettes obtained can be used directly in foundry furnaces, and their density can be very high, thanks to the enormous pressure obtained in the compression chamber (over 4,000 kg/cm2). Cutting oils can be recovered in the process. Di Piu has designed the METALBRIK HB series with top-quality hydraulic and electrical components, so as to offer machines capable of working 24 hours a day.

The (hydraulic briquetting presses) METALBRIK Series press is made of a hydraulic control unit and a compression unit; the two units are mounted on the same base in compliance with current CE and ISO standards. The hourly output changes from metal to metal and it is affected by the density of the swarf. The output indicated in this section are specifically related to cast iron.
