ARS briquetters process materials such as aluminum, cast iron, steel, brass, and copper chips and turnings. The right machine and tooling depend on the material, chip form, input density, and required throughput. Talk with ARS about your specific scrap.

Briquetting can remove cutting fluids and turn loose chips into dense, manageable material. This can simplify handling and reduce the exposed surface area during remelting. The price you receive depends on your material, its condition, your buyer, and market conditions.

Yes. Sample testing helps assess how your material briquettes and which equipment may suit the application. Contact ARS first to discuss the material, the sample quantity needed, and shipping arrangements.

Recovered coolant generally needs additional processing before reuse. Metal particles and unwanted oils may need to be removed through filtration and separation. The treatment required depends on the fluid and your process.

Start with your metal type, chip shape, typical scrap volume, fluid content, and available space. ARS can help evaluate those details alongside your operating schedule and recovery goals to select a machine and any supporting equipment.

Contact the ARS parts and technical support team. Have your machine model, serial number, and a description of what you need ready so we can help with your equipment.
