RMP has successfully implemented its first project in Kazakhstan by launching a metal chip shredding and briquetting line at one of the largest metalworking enterprises in Kostanay. The new technological complex allows production waste to be processed into valuable secondary raw materials and significantly improves manufacturing efficiency.
RMP specialists supplied the equipment, carried out installation works and commissioned a metal chip shredding and briquetting line. The project was implemented at one of the largest metalworking enterprises in Kostanay and became the company’s first project in Kazakhstan.
Since the equipment launch in April 2025, the RUF 22/3000/80 briquetting system has helped solve the problem of large volumes of steel chips accumulation. Long spiral chips produced by metalworking machines are collected in containers and automatically fed into a twin-shaft shredder using a tipping device. After shredding, the material is transported via a conveyor to the hopper of the RUF hydraulic press for briquetting.
Due to the high specific pressure of 2600 kg/cm², the density of steel briquettes reaches 5.6 g/cm³. During pressing, cutting fluids are separated and collected in the press tray, pumped into a tank and, after filtration, reused. The equipment capacity for steel reaches 720 kg/h.
The second system — RUF 22/4000/70 — is designed for processing cast iron chips. During briquetting, the cutting fluids contained in the chips are also separated. Cast iron chips are typically fine and loose, making them ideal for briquetting. At a specific pressure of 2500 kg/cm², the density of cast iron briquettes reaches 5.4 g/cm³, while the equipment capacity reaches 640 kg/h.
