With adjustable pressure settings ranging from 5 to 20 tons, it handles everything from aluminum chips to thick plastic sheets. One client, a metal foundry in Dhamar, reported that the machine reduced their scrap metal volume by 60%, allowing them to transport twice as much material in each truck. "We used to send 10 trucks a week to the smelter," says the foundry manager. "Now we send 5, and the savings cover the machine's cost in under a year." Al-Madina also offers bulk discounts for wholesalers, making them a top choice for traders supplying smaller recyclers across Yemen. Their after-sales team, based in Sana'a and Aden, provides same-day support for critical breakdowns—a level of reliability rare in the industry.
4. Saba Machinery Traders (Aden)
As one of Yemen's leading importers of industrial equipment, Saba Machinery Traders has partnered with international manufacturers to bring the PHBM Series—including the popular portable briquetter machine PHBM-004—to local markets. The PHBM-004, designed for metal powder and ore residues, is a hit with artisanal miners in Hadramaut and Mahra, where transporting loose ore residues is costly and inefficient. "Miners in Shabwah were losing 20% of their ore during transport because it spilled from open trucks," notes a Saba representative. "Our PHBM-004 compacts the residues into hard blocks that don't break apart—now they're saving 20% on lost material alone." Saba also stands out for their training programs: they host monthly workshops in Aden, Taiz, and Hodeidah, teaching operators how to maintain and troubleshoot the machines. For businesses new to briquetting, this hands-on support is invaluable.
5. Hodeidah Recycling Innovators (Hodeidah)
Hodeidah Recycling Innovators is on a mission to empower small-scale recyclers, particularly women-led cooperatives, with their Small-Scale Plastic Hydraulic Briquetter. Weighing just 180kg and operated via a foot pedal, the machine is designed for ease of use—no technical background required. In Al Hudaydah Governorate, a cooperative of 15 women now uses three of these briquetters to process plastic waste collected from local markets. "Before, we sorted plastic by hand and sold it loose for 50 YER per kg," says the cooperative's leader. "Now we briquette it, and buyers pay 80 YER per kg because it's easier to transport. Our income has doubled." The machine also includes safety features like an emergency stop button and insulated handles, ensuring operator well-being. For Hodeidah Recycling Innovators, it's not just about selling machines—it's about building sustainable livelihoods.
6. Taiz Engineering Works (Taiz)
Taiz Engineering Works specializes in heavy-duty metal processing, and their Hydraulic Press Machines Equipment includes a robust briquetting line for steel, copper, and brass scraps. What makes their machines unique is their durability: built with reinforced steel frames and locally sourced hydraulic components, they withstand the wear and tear of 12-hour workdays. A scrap metal yard in Ibb recently upgraded to Taiz's 20-ton briquetter and saw immediate results. "We process 3 tons of steel shavings daily," says the yard owner. "The old machine needed repairs every month, but Taiz's model has run nonstop for six months. It's been a game-changer for our productivity." The company also offers custom (molds) to produce briquettes in different shapes—round, square, or hexagonal—depending on client needs. For industrial-scale metal recyclers, Taiz Engineering Works delivers reliability that lasts.
7. Aden Eco-Machinery (Aden)
