Metso introduces low-maintenance N Series NSP briquetting presses for metal-processing

Reliable Metso N SeriesTM NSPTM briquetting presses turn steel, aluminium, cast iron and other metals into a compact form for easier handling and more convenient transporting. Firmly packed, high-density briquettes increase metal recovery by enabling more accurate metering and reducing burn-off during melting.

The efficient, single-ram presses are equipped with a constant feeding system and a state-of-the-art programmable logic controller (PLC). N Series presses also have a user-friendly operating system with a remote diagnosis option for easy and quick support from the Metso service team. The presses make use of high specific pressures, enabling the pressing of stable and solid briquettes and simultaneous fluid extraction.

“The high-density briquettes made with the NSP briquetting presses improve processing, enhance efficiency and speed up logistics. The briquettes are easier to handle and meter when re-melting. They increase metal yield by cutting burn-off loss. The briquettes also reduce volume and thus result in lower storage and transportation costs,” says Krischan Wolters, Product Manager, Shears and Balers, Europe, Metso.

The presses can be used independently or integrated into various processing plants regardless of size.
