Scrap Metal Recycling Equipment for Industrial Applications
Turn your wet metal filings, chips and clippings into valuable, compacted briquettes with a scrap metal recycling system from Applied Recovery Systems (ARS). Recycle scrap aluminum, brass, copper, steel and cast iron with specialized ARS equipment.
With a volume reduction ratio of up to 8:1 (reduction dependent upon metal type), scrap metal briquettes offer industrial machine shop operations several advantages, such as reduced material handling costs, easier shipment, ingot replacement savings (for die-casters) and coolant recovery for decreased weight and liability.

ARS Scrap Analysis Determines Best Metal Recycling Processor for Your Operation
To maximize your scrap return on investment, we analyze your scrap type, scrap volume and coolant to determine which ARS system works best with your scrap metal recycling requirements.
If your company generates scrap aluminum, copper, brass or other metals, our scrap metal briquetters and specially designed scrap metal equipment can make recycling pay..
Our systems provide the material handling and process capabilities to:
- INCREASE your scrap metal value.
- Aluminum scrap metal increases of 25% to 100%
- Scrap copper and brass up to 50%
- Steel shavings and cast iron are also more valuable in compacted form
- RECOVER your machine cutting fluids.
- Aluminum scrap metal carries 20% to 30% of its weight in coolant
- Copper scrap metal, brass scrap metal, steel and cast iron each carry about 10% coolant
- MINIMIZE liability exposure from coolant laden chips
- REDUCE material handling cost.
- KNOW the weight of the scrap metal you are recycling.
