Key Features of Metal Briquettes

• High density and compactness for faster melting

• Reduced material loss and higher production efficiency

• Energy-saving and cost-effective in transportation and storage

• Can be produced from various metal scraps

• Resistant to oxidation and environmental contamination

Types of Metal Briquettes

Depending on the base metal and intended use, briquettes are produced in different types, such as:

• Iron Briquettes: Made from compressed iron chips and powder, ideal for steelmaking furnaces

• Steel Briquettes: Used as an alternative to steel scrap in melting processes

• Copper Briquettes: Suitable for melting in copper industries and electrical alloy production

• Aluminum Briquettes: Lightweight and widely used in automotive and casting industries

• Non-Ferrous Metal Briquettes: Containing alloys such as brass, bronze, and other copper-based compounds for specialized applications

Shapes and Forms of Metal Briquettes

Metal briquettes are manufactured in several shapes, depending on the production system, including:

• Cube Briquettes: Easy to store and transport

• Cylindrical Briquettes: Commonly used in melting furnaces

• Disc or Tablet Briquettes: Designed for faster melting and even heat distribution

• Block Briquettes: Large compressed units for direct furnace charging

Applications of Metal Briquettes

• Steelmaking and Metal Melting Plants: Used as a substitute for scrap metal in furnaces

• Metal Sections Production: Ideal for manufacturing bars, billets, sheets, and profiles

• Metal Recycling Industry: Increases efficiency and reduces environmental pollution

• Alloy Manufacturing: Used for producing high-quality metal alloys with controlled composition
