Understand the scrap
Metal type, chip shape, fluid content, and sample testing help establish a practical starting point.
Your industry. Your recovery goals. Explore how briquetting, chip handling, and fluid recovery can support the way you work.
MANUFACTURING & MACHINING
Machining creates metal chips and turnings that can carry cutting fluids out of the process. Briquetting compacts that scrap and presses out fluid, helping prepare a more manageable material for storage, weighing, and sale.
ARS can help connect your collection points with chip preparation, briquetting, and fluid recovery equipment around your material and production needs.

FOUNDRIES & METAL CASTING
Loose chips can be difficult to charge and handle in a melting operation. Dense briquettes bring that material together in a form that can be easier to store, move, and introduce into a suitable process.
With less exposed surface area than loose chips, briquettes can help reduce oxidation and slag formation during remelting. The material and briquette characteristics need to fit your charging and melting requirements.

SCRAP PROCESSING & METAL RECYCLING
Loose chips and turnings take up space and can complicate loading, storage, and transport. Briquetting reduces that bulk while pressing out cutting fluids that would otherwise remain with the scrap.
Dense briquettes can provide a more manageable form for your next buyer. Discuss accepted materials, briquette requirements, and pricing with your mill or recycler when evaluating the process.

DIFFERENT OPERATIONS. A COMMON STARTING POINT.
Your industry helps frame the conversation. Your actual scrap, volume, and recovery goals guide the equipment.
Metal type, chip shape, fluid content, and sample testing help establish a practical starting point.
Consider collection, preparation, briquetting, and fluid recovery alongside throughput and available space.
Review scrap revenue, fluid recovery, and handling alongside equipment and operating costs.
