Scrap metal compactor reclaims cutting fluids, oils

SP Industries Inc. has introduced the CP-2202-CHIP heavy-duty industrial compactor for metal chip and turnings compaction. The system is suitable for large-scale machine shops and manufacturers that generate significant volumes of scrap metal turnings, chips, or industrial waste.

The dual-cylinder design produces 85,000 lbs. of force to create a 4-to-1 compaction ratio on scrap mild steel turnings, reducing the volume of four full 40-cubic-yard containers into one.

The compactor reclaims cutting fluids, coolants, and oils from the scrap turnings and chip materials. The fluid collection system removes fluid from both the compaction chamber and the compaction container and pumps it to a single, sealed collection tank where it then is pumped into the customer’s recycling system or holding tank.
