MAKING MACHINES THAT MAKE SCRAP PAY
ARS hydraulic briquetters compact metal chips, turnings, filings, and clippings into briquettes. The right machine can help recover cutting fluids, reduce scrap volume, and simplify material handling.
We start with your material and processing requirements, then help match the equipment and options to your operation.
