Industries

Your industry. Your recovery goals. Explore how briquetting, chip handling, and fluid recovery can support the way you work.

MANUFACTURING & MACHINING

Machine shops

Recover value beyond the finished part.

Machining creates metal chips and turnings that can carry cutting fluids out of the process. Briquetting compacts that scrap and presses out fluid, helping prepare a more manageable material for storage, weighing, and sale.

ARS can help connect your collection points with chip preparation, briquetting, and fluid recovery equipment around your material and production needs.

  • Collect cutting fluids for treatment and potential reuse
  • Reduce the bulk of loose chips in storage and handling
  • Prepare consistent material for weighing and recycling

FOUNDRIES & METAL CASTING

Foundries

A more manageable form for remelting.

Loose chips can be difficult to charge and handle in a melting operation. Dense briquettes bring that material together in a form that can be easier to store, move, and introduce into a suitable process.

With less exposed surface area than loose chips, briquettes can help reduce oxidation and slag formation during remelting. The material and briquette characteristics need to fit your charging and melting requirements.

  • Evaluate the potential for better material recovery
  • Prepare dense material for handling and charging
  • Match equipment to your scrap and throughput

SCRAP PROCESSING & METAL RECYCLING

Scrap dealers

Turn loose material into manageable loads.

Loose chips and turnings take up space and can complicate loading, storage, and transport. Briquetting reduces that bulk while pressing out cutting fluids that would otherwise remain with the scrap.

Dense briquettes can provide a more manageable form for your next buyer. Discuss accepted materials, briquette requirements, and pricing with your mill or recycler when evaluating the process.

  • Consolidate loose material for storage and loading
  • Review opportunities to simplify handling and shipping
  • Prepare material around the needs of your buyers

DIFFERENT OPERATIONS. A COMMON STARTING POINT.

Start with the material
and the process.

Your industry helps frame the conversation. Your actual scrap, volume, and recovery goals guide the equipment.

Understand the scrap

Metal type, chip shape, fluid content, and sample testing help establish a practical starting point.

Plan the equipment

Consider collection, preparation, briquetting, and fluid recovery alongside throughput and available space.

Evaluate the value

Review scrap revenue, fluid recovery, and handling alongside equipment and operating costs.
