Applied Recovery Systems Offers the best "Chip Processing Solution"
As we all know the metal market fluctuates with the supply and demand of pure metal in the manufacturing industries. With the economy growing in foreign countries and the many mass production facilities in the United States producing much needed supplies, such as metal castings, etc., recycling and metal chip processing is more important than ever. Chip processing equipment from Applied Recovery Systems provides the most cost-effective, economically sound method of dealing with metal scrap available
Applied Recovery Systems manufactures “Briquetters” and chip processing equipment. Briquetters are machines that have become the new rave. The new rave because it simplifies chip handling, condenses the metal chips and turnings in to an almost solid form. Using high compression technology in a small chamber, the resulting formed metal pucks bring in revenue that otherwise is lost as waste.
High density metal briquettes bring the highest possible price for your scrap:
- Metal turnings and chips from machining operations are reduced in volume. The approximate reduction for Aluminum is 6:1; Steel is 3:1; copper, brass, cast iron 2:1, depending on the chip size.
Briquettes require dramatically less space, up to 80%. The result is more room for production and other, more profitable uses. Better chip handling and processing makes sense, not only as a means to recover lost profits in materials but also from better use of space.
- The compact metal is sold to your scrap processor or broker for more money. The reason for this is that they in turn ship overseas for high prices in some cases. They may have direct relations/trust with worldwide smelters and foundries who accept these pucks as close to solid form, which means they get more from re-melting than if they re-melt chips. The more weight you have in scrap, the higher the price at market.
- Do you have your own smelter or foundry? Applied Recovery Systems’ briquetters are built with the highest face pressure in the industry. Higher face pressure means higher density. In turn, higher density leads to higher recovery of metal in a hot molten bath. Higher recovery of metal means higher value for that material. Smaller metal chips and turnings often burn away when molten.
In short, companies that briquette their scrap as opposed to other forms of chip processing are reaping great rewards. The equipment footprint is small, it requires little attention, and the storage space and number of storage containers that need to be purchased and handled is decreased. Chip processing makes sense.
