Chip Conveyors

Keep your metal scrap moving. Connect collection, processing, and briquetting with conveying equipment that fits your operation.

MOVE MATERIAL WITH PURPOSE

Connect the steps
in your recovery process.

Loose chips and wet turnings need to move from the machining process to the equipment that handles them next. ARS offers conveyor options for transferring material to a briquetter, a processing stage, or a collection bin.

From low-profile collection to steel belt conveying, the configuration depends on your chips, fluid content, available space, and production requirements.

CONVEYING & SEPARATION OPTIONS

Match the equipment
to the material.

The shape of your chips and the way you collect them help determine the right conveying approach.

Low-profile conveyors

Compact conveying options move chips toward a briquetter or loading bin where collection points and available space call for a smaller arrangement.

Steel belt conveyors

Transfer chips and cutting fluids from machine tools, or move formed briquettes away from the discharge point as part of a larger system.

Magnetic separation

Magnetic belt options can help separate unwanted ferrous material from nonferrous scrap streams such as aluminum, copper, or brass.

PLAN THE MATERIAL FLOW

A conveyor works best
as part of the process.

Consider both ends of the transfer: where material comes from, and what the next machine needs. Cart dumping, crushing, or other preparation may be needed before chips can be fed consistently.
