Example aluminum
When machining aluminum, chips are removed using high-quality coolants and lubricants. When the chips are briquetted, the coolants and lubricants are pressed out. These can be pumped directly back into the existing system. By separating coolants and lubricants, the transport weight is reduced. The environment is not polluted by fluid lost unnecessarily. Briquetting causes a large volume reduction of the starting material from 7:1 to 20:1. These compact, solid briquettes reduce transport costs through high container utilization. There is less loss during melting (burn-off approx. 3-5%) because the briquette form has a smaller surface area than the loose chippings (burn-off approx. 25-30%). The additional proceeds from selling the briquettes to aluminum smelting plants amount to approx. 400 CHF/1000kg.
Your profit:
Smaller storage space due to volume reduction. |
Reduction of transport and handling costs. |
Greater security. |
Additional revenue from recycling (metal). |
Saving on high-quality coolants and lubricants. |
