1 available
With approximately 196 tons of compression force and a 40 HP hydraulic system, the RST 1000 is capable of processing a wide range of materials, including aluminum, steel, cast iron, brass, and copper. It produces uniform 3.5” diameter briquettes that are easier to handle, store, and transport—while significantly increasing scrap value.
This machine is ideal for operations looking to reduce material volume, recover cutting fluids, and improve overall shop cleanliness. By compressing chips into dense pucks, users can minimize disposal costs and maximize return on recyclable metals.
