摘要：Removal of metal chips is involved in several industrial production processes that machine from casted parts byvarious operations such as turning, milling and drilling. In addition to the fact that the chips represent a treat to theenvironment, their storage requires a large surface area. The objective of the project reported in this article is to improve the current layout of a machining workshop aimed at minimizing the material handling cost, increasing operator safety, improving flexibility for operation, minimizing the overall cost and utilizing the available area. Theresearch project focused on the compaction of metal chips briquette for simplicity of storage as well as handlingand transportation of metal chips for Hibret Manufacturing and Machine Building Industry (HMMBI) factory. Themachining process on CNC lathe and milling machines in this company produces 1500–2000 kg chips/month.An effective design of hydraulic briquette press is carried out by using a solid modelling tool and simulating thehydraulic circuit. The result of the designed machine was observed to address the stated problems of the company.
