Alu Menziken Extrusion AG compacts shavings from aluminium processing on a briquetting press from Hunkeler Systeme AG. An older press, which has been operating perfectly for the past twenty years, was a major contributing factor in the purchase decision.
When Alu Menziken Extrusion AG invests, quality is the byword. The company has just installed a new briquetting press and chose a product from Hunkeler Systeme AG. It supplements an older press, which went into operation twenty years ago. Shavings which occur during aluminium processing are turned into briquettes with a density of 2.3 kilograms per cubic decimetre on this new press. In this very compact form, the aluminium is melted down and returned to the recycling circuit. For each cycle, up to 99.5 percent of the original material quantity can be re-used. The quantity of reclaimed aluminium is about 170 tons a year.
