Material Handling

Prepare difficult chips and turnings for the next step, with crushing, shredding, dumping, and feed-assist options.

PREPARE. LOAD. FEED.

Make the chip stream
easier to process.

Stringy turnings, nested chips, and material collected in carts can need more than a conveyor. ARS offers handling and preparation equipment to help move scrap into a form and flow suited to the next machine.

Crushers, shredders, hydraulic cart dumpers, and feed-assist options can be integrated with a briquetter or a complete chip processing system.

MATERIAL PREPARATION OPTIONS

Different chips.
Different handling needs.

The material and the way it behaves help determine which equipment is appropriate for your process.

Ring-type chip crusher

A ring crusher sizes nested turnings against a grate. Material that fits through the grate moves onward, while a solids-ejection arrangement handles pieces that cannot pass.

An option to evaluate where material can be metered and unwanted solids may be present.

Vertical-axis crusher / shredder

A vertical-axis unit helps turn long or tangled turnings into more manageable material for downstream processing, with self-metering and solids-rejection features.

Selection depends on the chip form, incoming volume, and the next processing stage.

Ram feed assist

Some turnings separate readily but tend to roll into a mass when tumbled. An optional ram feed assist pushes material toward the briquetter’s gathering chamber.

An infeed option for applications where chip behavior affects chamber loading.

Hydraulic cart dumper

Elevate a compatible cart or bin and discharge its contents into a briquetter hopper or crusher as part of an integrated material-handling arrangement.

Cart dimensions, load characteristics, and the receiving hopper guide the configuration.

DESIGN AROUND THE INPUT

Start with the material
you actually produce.

Chip length, nesting, fluid content, and unwanted solids can all affect how scrap moves through the system. A discussion of your material, and sample testing where appropriate, helps establish the right starting point.
