Scrap Metal Recycling Systems

Machining tools typically produce wet metal scrap. Applied Recovery Systems specializes in scrap metal recycling. Metal filings, metal chips and clippings are more valuable when compacted into briquettes.

Scrap Metal Processing

Processing Aluminum, Brass, Copper, Steel and Cast Iron metal scrap into briquettes has several benefits. Scrap metal briquettes have a greatly reduced material handling cost. With a volume reduction rate of up to 8:1, recycled scrap metal that has been formed into briquettes is much easier to ship, and the weight and liability of the coolant is significantly reduced. Processing scrap metal into briquettes provides for the recovery of the coolant from aluminum, copper, brass, steel and cast iron scrap.

Scrap Metal Recycling for Your Specific Needs

Applied Recovery Systems' scrap metal recycling machinery and formula helps to determine which of our scrap metal processors is best suited to your company's scrap metal collecting and metal recycling requirements. We'll analyze your range of scrap metal recycling needs, your volume of scrap metal and coolant type. Then consider whether or not it pays to compact your metal scrap. Using this data, we can determine to how best process your scrap metal and help you maximize your return from scrap metal recycling.

Whether your company generates scrap aluminum, scrap copper, brass or other scrap metals, our scrap metal briquetters and specially designed scrap metal machinery can make recycling your scrap metal 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 scrap metal processor 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
