Steel Waste Briquetting – Recycling Solution
Steel plants generate byproducts of steel like steel dust, mill scale, sludge, and slag, which are often stockpiled or discarded, causing environmental risks and resource loss. Using Jianjie’s cold briquetting technology and advanced binders, these wastes can be efficiently recycled into briquettes for use as fluxing agents or cooling materials, turning waste into value while improving steel waste recycling, energy efficiency, and carbon reduction.
The Challenge
Key Challenges in Steel Waste Briquetting
Steel plants are under pressure to reduce waste stockpiles and recover valuable materials, yet many still face obstacles in storage, briquette quality, and stable plant operation.
Steel dust, slag, and mill scale accumulate quickly, taking up large yard space and generating high storage or landfill fees. Limited recyclability makes long-term stockpiling unsustainable and increases environmental and regulatory pressure.
Different steel wastes contain varying chemistry and particle sizes, making it difficult to choose a binder that delivers strong, furnace-ready briquettes. Without the right binder match, briquettes crack easily, reduce yield, and fail to meet furnace requirements.

Inconsistent moisture, uneven feeding, and equipment wear often cause unstable briquetting performance. Plants struggle to keep production running smoothly, leading to frequent adjustments, downtime, and inconsistent briquette quality.
