Save Money and Up Profits with the Right Equipment

Smart companies are making high profits on recycling metal waste. By equipping your facility with machinery designed to process leftover chips and turnings from start to finish you can look forward to saving time, manpower and reduce handling costs.

Machine tools produce a lot of shavings and chips.  To recycle the left-over metals for the secondary market, it makes sense to have the equipment needed to do the job from start to finish.

Steel belt conveyors are the legs of the operation and are vital to the logistics of any chip processing system. They handle the job of transporting metal chips to and from briquetting presses, and away from the work area. There are many styles of conveyors on the market and there are companies that can also design a unique steel belt conveyor system to meet the specific needs of your plant.

Hydraulic cart dumpers are made to integrate with your chip processing machinery. They are the work horse of the operation and responsible for lifting and dumping the metal waste into the briquetter or crusher.

Metal chips awaiting processing can pile-up on each other or clump together. If this is the case, they will need to be put through a tool called a ram feed assist which is made to separate the large clumps into smaller metal pieces that can be loaded into a crusher efficiently.

Vertical axis crushers and ring type metal chip crushers are the tough guys of the application and a crucial step in the processing of metal chips. Crushers function as detectives and are responsible for finding and removing left-over metal solids while allowing liquid metal to flow. Crushers have the ability to make the entire recycling cycle smoother and trouble-free. 

By selecting the proper equipment to transport, lift, presort, crush, transform, and weigh your waste metal, you will be one step closer to realizing profits.
