The choice of model depends on several factors: type and volume of swarf generated, presence and amount of residual lubricant, space available on the shop floor , and frequency of discharge. For example, for companies with average chip volumes, a machine like the 200 is a compact but efficient solution. For high volumes or very expanded swarf, one can opt for a 400 or even an 800, equipped with an enlarged hopper and high-powered pusher, Booster.
Yes, Jvonne also specializes in developing custom configurations. Hopper size, compaction power can be adapted. Models can be integrated into robotic islands, connected to multiple machine tools or interfaced with PLC for remote signal management.
It depends on the material (e.g., aluminum, steel, cast iron, other metallic materials), the shape (long, coiled, chopped, bushy, mixed) and the amount of residual lubricant . For example, aluminum requires good density to increase melt yield, while steel needs effective hank management. Material evaluation by testing is often recommended.
Not always. Some materials, may be critical. It is advisable to separate materials as much as possible and test for worst-case conditions with dedicated testing. Mixed use is possible, but requires attention to scheduling and management of containers and liquid. Whole oil and emulsion liquid need not to be mixed in order to be reused.
Briquetting machines Jvonne are designed with safety valves recognize if the machine in the case of hard foreign objects will block. However, the entry of chunks can cause mechanical damage to the compacting chamber or chipping if the material is very hard such as tool material. Therefore, the use of screens, grids or filters before entering the hopper is recommended.
The parts most subject to wear and tear are made of suitable and properly treated material. The search for the best materials and components available on the market achieve a high operating life. Preventive maintenance of the hydraulic system and oil filters is important; Jvonne provides recommended spare parts kits.
The estimated MTBF for Jvonne Briquetting machines, under standard operating conditions and scheduled maintenance, exceeds 3000 hours. Some plants operate H24 for months without intervention, demonstrating the reliability of the hydraulic system and structural components.
It depends on the material. On aluminum, densities between 1.9 and 2.3 kg/dm³ are reached, on steel a value between 3.6 and 4.6 kg/dm³ is obtained, and in special cases with high-pressure boosters, 5 kg/dm³ can be exceeded. The density depends on the type of material, its malleability, and also the state of the chip.
Yes, Jvonne offers the possibility of performing tests at its site with chips provided by the customer. There is also the possibility of short-term rental to perform as many tests as customers deem necessary to verify the possibilities of this technology and properly assess the return on investment. Therefore, this allows to verify the behavior of the material, assess the achievable density and estimate the benefits. It is a fundamental tool to accompany the investment.
Yes, just send a quantity (typically 10-15 kg) of the representative material. Technicians will perform a compaction test and send the tablets produced to the customer, with an appropriate technical report.
Absolutely. Jvonne has a demonstration area and a network of references installed with customers that, with prior permission, can be visited. In addition, at trade shows or open houses the machines can be seen live.
Jvonne stands out for: robust structure, modularity, hydraulic efficiency, pushed customization possibilities, direct and transparent after-sales service. Compared with shredders or manual handling systems, the Briquetting machine allows up to 80% volume reduction, lubricant recovery, and operational order.
Briquetting machines from Jvonne operate by hydraulic system, which results in a quiet compaction cycle compared to mechanical systems or shredders. The average sound level is between 68 and 75 dB(A), depending on the model and the material compacted. It is therefore compatible with the workshop environment without the need for sound barriers.
No, our Briquetting machines are designed to run semi-automatically or fully automatically. The operator can simply load the chip into the hopper (or drop it from a belt or external conveyor) and let the machine run the cycle. The HMI interface is simple, intuitive and fully customizable. The Briquetting machine adapts to changes that occur by varying the mode of operation as appropriate.
Yes, certainly. We offer different automation solutions: for conveyors, augers or systems with management via integrated PLC. In OEM or highly automated workshops, we can directly connect Briquetting machines to machine tools via signals or data collection systems.
No. Since the Briquetting machine is not a machine tool or a hazardous facility under EC regulations, the Briquetting machine does not require licensed operators. Initial training of 1-2 hours, which is provided by our technician or by reading the operation and maintenance manual, is sufficient. However, it is a good idea for the user to be familiar with hydraulic machines.
Space varies by model, but even a machine like the 400 can be installed in less than 3 m². For larger versions or those with a side hopper, it may be worth considering a dedicated 10-15 m² area. The machine can also be installed on wheels to optimize space.
The tablet is automatically ejected from the ejection tube and falls into a bin, onto a belt or into a prepared container. The ejection system is adjustable in direction. If required, we can also provide solutions with a movable basket or tilting containers.
The average ROI for a Jvonne Briquetting machine is between 12 and 24 months, depending on the volume of chips treated, the value of lubricant recovered, and the reduction in logistics costs. For example, reducing chip volume by 5 to 1 can mean only one bin per month instead of five, with significant savings in transportation, labor and environmental management. In addition, selling denser pads often leads to a higher price per kilogram from scrap dealers.
Yes, the resulting tablet is denser, purer (less contaminated with oil and liquids), more easily handled and transported. Some shredders recognize a higher price for compacted material precisely because it is more homogeneous and less bulky. In addition, tablets avoid the risk of container fires due to the reduction of free oil.
The amount varies depending on the material and type of emulsion, but on average 60 to 85 percent by volume is recovered. In plants with high use of coolant-lubricants, this value can be as high as 90%. The oil is discharged into a tank under the machine and can be fed back into the machine tool’s filter system or sold as waste oil. Normally, the liquid that is decanted after squeezing has a lower bacterial load and helps to keep the MU tank clean, as well as to increase refilling intervals because the emulsion titer remains more constant.
Jvonne does not provide an economic simulation study, but can provide data that based on average monthly volumes, disposal costs, and chip sale prices helps make the assessment.
No. This is a robust machine designed for industrial environments. Routine maintenance consists of: checking hydraulic oil levels, checking seals, and weekly cleaning of the area under the compaction chamber and the liquid recovery sump. Jvonne provides a simple maintenance plan and a suggested spare parts kit for each model.
Wear parts such as seals and scrapers can last many months under normal conditions. The hydraulic pump and cylinder assembly are sized for durations exceeding 5,000 working hours. In case of heavy use, periodic inspection is recommended.
Yes, after-sales service is one of our strengths . Jvonne provides both telephone and remote support, with diagnostics via PLC, and on-site with certified technicians. In Italy we intervene directly, while abroad we operate through our network of distributors and service partners.
We have a centralized spare parts warehouse and expedited shipping service. For official distributors, there is also a dedicated stock at their premises. The main spare parts are standardized, and being manufacturers, we are able to supply all components for all machines built.
No, Jvonne Briquetting machines can be installed on standard industrial floors. The base is reinforced and designed to have the machine easily transportable with a regular pallet truck. A regular floor with adequate loading capacity (about 2 t/m²) is sufficient.
Standard models work with three-phase 400V 50Hz power supply. In case of installation in countries with different standards, we can provide customized motors and switchboards (e.g. 460V 60Hz for USA).
No. Our Briquetting machines are hydraulically operated and do not require compressed air. It is therefore possible to install them even in departments not equipped with a centralized pneumatic system. Only some versions with specific options need it.
Yes, all models are transportable and repositionable. The more compact models as well as the larger ones can be moved by pallet truck or forklift. Modularity is one of the key features. Customization can also be implemented later.
Yes. Our technical sales department supports each customer in choosing the most suitable machine, considering factors such as: type of chip (material, shape, desired degree of moisture), quantity produced daily, available space, and workshop operating modes. We also offer the possibility of conducting preliminary tests on chip samples to validate material compactability and estimate yield.
Yes. Upon request, we can conduct practical tests at our premises or with the help of our partners in the territory. The test is performed with samples provided by the customer and allows us to evaluate volumetric yield, tablet density, amount of oil recovered, and overall compactability. It is also possible to temporarily rent a machine to test effectiveness on site.
Installation is generally completed in a short time. Electrical connection, positioning, hydraulic verification, commissioning, and staff training must be provided. Upon request, we can provide layouts and instructions to set everything up before arrival. (Source: standard installation checklist).
Yes. If required, the installation includes a training session for operators and, also for maintenance personnel. The training covers: machine operation, compaction cycle, cleaning, parameter control, operational safety, first level interventions. Training materials are delivered in hard copy and digital format.
Jvonne provides a dedicated technical contact person. A telephone line is available, active during office hours, as well as an e-mail address for technical support. Intervention can be done remotely (via video call or PLC control) or on-site upon request.
Yes. The standard warranty covers 12 months from delivery and can be extended up to 24 months with a scheduled maintenance contract. The package can include: annual inspections, off-the-shelf spare parts, priority service, software upgrades, and subsidized terms on extra work. It is a formula particularly appreciated by those who use the machine on multiple shifts or in high-productivity environments.
Standard warranty covers machine defects, covers Briquetting machines components, and applies by “On center” method with shipment of spare parts to the customer’s premises or sending the machine to Jvonne’s premises at the customer’s expense. If necessary, “On site” service can be requested for a fee before the Briquetting machines are sold.
