Focus on aluminum
The BLG cut sheet lists an aluminum capacity of up to 800 lb/hr. Start with that published figure, then evaluate performance with your own material.

Put more of your aluminum scrap to work.
ARS INDUSTRIAL SERIES
Built around aluminum chip recovery.
Consolidate aluminum chips and turnings into briquettes while recovering fluid pressed from the material. The RST1000BLG pairs a 20 hp motor with a 3.5-inch briquette diameter and a stated aluminum capacity of up to 800 lb/hr.

RECOVER MORE FROM YOUR SCRAP
A practical process for aluminum scrap.
Bring compaction, fluid collection, and material handling together around the way your operation processes aluminum scrap.
Collect recovered fluid
The cut sheet describes an integrated fluid collection and pumping system to handle liquid expressed during the briquetting process.
Consolidate loose chips
Produce briquettes with a listed 3.5-inch diameter for more manageable scrap handling. Discuss discharge and take-away conveying with the ARS team.

Specifications are from the RST1000BLG cut sheet (PDF). Production depends on material and input density; scrap sample testing helps establish expected throughput. Drawings and photographs may show optional equipment.
MATCH THE MACHINE TO YOUR OPERATION
Plan around your aluminum stream.
Consider the BLG when evaluating a recovery process for aluminum machining chips and turnings. A sample and a clear picture of your production needs help ARS assess how the machine will fit your operation.

Questions about
the RST1000BLG
Is the RST1000BLG the same as the RST1000?
They are separate models. The BLG cut sheet specifies a 20 hp motor; the standard RST1000 is listed with a 40 hp motor in the equipment brochure. Use the BLG cut sheet and layout when evaluating this model.
Can I use the standard RST1000 capacities for the BLG?
The BLG cut sheet lists aluminum capacity only. Its published figure is up to 800 lb/hr. Ask ARS about any other material; the standard RST1000’s steel, cast iron, brass, and copper capacities should not be assumed to apply to the BLG.
What determines actual aluminum throughput?
Chip condition, input density, and the way material is fed into the machine affect production. The cut sheet notes that lower input density reduces throughput. Discuss scrap sample testing with ARS to establish expectations for your application.
