Claim Text:
1. An apparatus for manufacturing a compressed lump of metal scrap configured to compress metal scrap by a primary press plate reciprocated in a primary compression space of a compression chamber, which is opened and closed by a cover and a cover cylinder so that metal scrap is charged into the compression chamber, by a primary compression cylinder and secondary press plates reciprocated in opposite sides of a secondary compression space of the compression chamber by secondary compression cylinders and to discharge the compressed lump of metal scrap through a discharge port, wherein the primary press plate and primary compression space and the secondary press plate and secondary compression space are vertically aligned such that, a direction in which compression is performed by the primary press plate is perpendicular to a direction in which compression is performed by the secondary press plate, and the apparatus comprises: a core installed at the middle of the secondary compression space in an erected state so that the core is perpendicular to the direction in which compression is performed by the primary press plate and the direction in which compression is performed by the secondary press plate; a core cylinder for reciprocating the core to form a through hole in a compressed lump of metal scrap, the core cylinder and the core are provided on a discharge plate; and an opening and closing unit for reciprocating the discharge plate along a guide groove to open and close the discharge plate relative to the discharge port.
