Complete Chip Processing Systems

Bring material handling, briquetting, and fluid recovery together around the way your operation works.

FROM SCRAP STREAM TO RECOVERY SYSTEM

Individual machines.
One considered process.

A briquetter is part of a wider material flow. Chips need to be collected, moved, and sometimes prepared before compaction. Recovered fluids need a route to collection and treatment, too.

ARS combines conveying, material preparation, briquetting, and coolant recovery options to suit your material and production needs. Your system may include some or all of these stages.

CONNECT THE RECOVERY STAGES

A system that follows
your material.

The right combination depends on what comes into the process and what you need to recover from it.

  1. Collect & move

    Transfer chips from collection points toward processing or storage with conveying equipment.

    Chip conveyors
  2. Prepare & feed

    Evaluate crushing, shredding, cart dumping, or feed assistance for the incoming material.

    Material handling
  3. Compact the metal

    Form manageable briquettes and press cutting fluids from suitable metal chips and turnings.

    Our briquetters
  4. Recover the fluid

    Collect recovered cutting fluids and plan filtration and separation for potential reuse.

ENGINEER AROUND YOUR SPACE

The connections matter
as much as the components.

Planning starts with the material, throughput, collection method, and space you have available. Equipment needs to work with the machines before and after it, including the way chips and recovered fluids leave the system.

  • Review your chip form, volume, and fluid content
  • Plan loading, transfer points, and material preparation
  • Match briquetter capacity to the intended process
  • Allow for fluid collection, access, and maintenance
