What is an Aluminum Chip Compactor?

An aluminum chip compactor is a machine used in manufacturing and metalworking shops to compress aluminum chips (swarf) generated during machining processes into dense, manageable bales or blocks. This reduces storage space, improves material handling, and increases recycling value.

Key Features to Consider When Buying

| Feature | Why It Matters |

|--------|----------------|

| Capacity (lbs per cycle) | Determines how much material can be compressed per run (e.g., 500–2,000 lbs). |

| Hydraulic vs. Electric | Hydraulic = more powerful; Electric = quieter, lower maintenance. |

| Bale Size & Shape | Standard bales are rectangular; some machines produce round bales. |

| Automation Level | Fully automatic vs. semi-automatic affects labor needs. |

| Portability & Installation | Some models are mobile; others require permanent setup. |

Price Range (as of 2024)

- Used Compactors: $2,000 – $10,000

- New Compactors (small-medium): $8,000 – $25,000

- Large Industrial Models: $30,000+

> Tip: Look for units with safety features like emergency stop, overload protection, and interlocks.
