Metalpress 900 EVO

Description

The top-of-the-line model in the COMAFER range, for those who need the highest capacity
The Metalpress 900 EVO briquetting machine is the flagship model of the entire COMAFER lineup, designed for foundries, large machine shops, and metallurgical plants that generate very high volumes of metal chips and require continuous industrial briquetting.

System rated pressure 300 bar: no limits, just performance
To achieve high quality in the specific pressing process, ensuring briquettes with superior density and commercial value, and thus better yield at the foundry.

Two-section coaxial hydraulic compaction cylinder: speed matters
To achieve maximum advance speed optimizing production.

Automatic briquette length adjustment using position transducers: no setup downtime
Thanks to an algorithm built into the program, the machine is able—after ejecting the first briquette—to self-adjust to achieve the length set on the operator panel. This operation is always performed by the machine, and if the briquette’s length varies due to differences in size or type, the algorithm automatically adjusts to maintain the set length. As a result, there are no machine stoppages for continuous adjustments, ensuring stable and programmable production output.

New Oil Cooling System with Continuous Off-Line Filtration: Guaranteed Continuous Operation
The new oil cooling system consists of an air/oil heat exchanger, a filter, and a self-contained motor-pump unit. It is designed to ensure continuous oil purification by maintaining the oil at an optimal temperature, preventing overheating, reducing component wear, and consequently minimizing long-term maintenance and machine downtime.

Dual-electric-motor architecture: power always available
to handle higher pressing loads in a stable and continuous manner

COMAFER Industrial Connected Services: Support When You Need It
Industry 4.0 readiness, remote assistance, and remote monitoring via the Secomea Site Manager 1529 module, included as standard equipment for online connection via the company’s fixed network. With this system, operations can be monitored directly from headquarters via the control panel. Discover COMAFER’s Industrial Connected Services system

The Siemens HMI Panel: The Control System an Industrial Plant Expects
The multilingual Siemens HMI panel allows the operator to modify operating parameters using custom recipes, monitor diagnostics in real time, view production status, and automatically track maintenance schedules.

Excellent design for integration into our centralized systems
The Metalpress 900 EVO is designed to integrate with COMAFER’s automated centralized systems, featuring the IL 500P conveyor belt for chip loading and the IL30 conveyor belt for briquette unloading.

Compatible materials
Aluminum, steel, stainless steel, titanium, cast iron, copper, brass, bronze, nickel, and other ferrous and non-ferrous metals. For non-standard materials, free sample testing is available at COMAFER’s R&D department.

Measurable operational benefits
Briquetting with the Metalpress 900 EVO reduces volume by up to 90%, recycling costs by 70%, and handling costs by 80%. The briquettes offer 50% higher commercial value than loose chips and 90% higher yield in the smelting process. With 300-bar compression, which ensures up to 90% recovery of the expensive coolant—allowing it to be recirculated back into the machine tool and eliminating waste— along with automatic adjustment of briquette length to eliminate setup downtime when processing mixed chip types, and the HMI operator panel to keep everything under control, the annual savings on disposal and transportation costs are measurable and substantial.
