From brokering through scrap dealers, to going directly to foundries and smelters, one can often times receive monetary increases up to 30% for briquettes.An ARS Briquetter typically pays for itself in less than two years fromscrap premiums and cutting fluids alone (depending on the type and volume of material processed). Thereafter, the income and cost-savings it generates go directly to the bottom line.We’ll Show You HowWe can determine if briquetting is right for you and your operation.Contact Applied Recovery Systems toll-free at 1-800-577-3766 for a free Customized Investment Evaluation and Analysis.

There are many useful tools on the website as well so look around About UsARS Briquetters are manufactured in our 30,000 square foot facility located on 5.5 acres of land in Central Texas. It is a privately held corporation founded in 1992 and has grown at a rapid rate with a high performance product line called the Recovery Systems Technology Briquetters. Our customer service is unparalleled and our goal is to keep the company small enough to be accessible to its customers and large enough to provide outstanding product performance. Research and development will continue to be an integral part of the Corporation’s objective so as to better serve the chip processing needs of its customers. We have grown our customer base to extend across the U.S. borders to areas in Mexico, Canada, Turkey, Venezuela, Brazil, Europe, India, Australia, South Africa, and China.Off-The-Shelf ComponentsThe Briquetters are built with widely available components to include Allen Bradley PLC’s, Parker Hannifin hydraulic pumps and valves, WEG Motors, and effector proximity switches. These readily available parts help to ensure ease of serviceability worldwide.Consistent OperationOur Briquetters utilize an Allen Bradley PLC for reliable, automatic operation. Other PLC options available upon customer request. The processor helps to ensure a quality briquette every time even when the hopper is emptying or the chip density has changed.Flexible Feeding ARS Briquetters can process a wide variety of densities without bridging, due to a 13” throat that’s adjustable to 22 inches long. Additionally, our agitator wheel sweeps material into the compression chamber while our vertical press foot option presses the material down and keeps it down to ensure a full charge of material.A.R.S. Competitive EdgeOur top competitive edge is that we have more installations than any other manufacturer, demonstrating the better option for briquetting• Average lead time: 7-9 weeks• Free or low cost sampling• Extensive training and support• Our equipment is easy to maintain, operate, service, and clean• Competitive pricing without sacrificing quality• 24-48 hour response time for parts and service• Parker Hannifin’s triple-lock, zero leak program for all hydraulic plumbing, hoses, and fittings• Allen Bradley or Siemens controls• Red Lion touchscreen control panel (optional)• Integral cutting fluid recapturing pan and pump• Integral cutting fluid filtration system (optional)• Robust machine with the smallest footprint in the industry • In-stock items available in most cases for quick delivery Lease OptionsIn some occasions, Applied Recovery Systems has offered lease options to help our customers secure an order. Please contact us for more information or to fill out a credit application.ARS AdvantagesARS BRIQUETTERS transform ordinary industrial turnings, filings, chips, clippings—even metallic dust—into dense, economically processed briquettes that typically command prices much greater than non-compacted scrap. But increasing your profits is only part of the advantage. Briquetters can do considerably more in the bargain: • Provide lower transportation costs • Provide lower storage space requirements for scrap metal, increasing revenue-producing manufacturing floor space • Facilitate in the removal and recovery of cutting fluids through intense pressure and compaction • Reduce overall material handling cost by reducing labor/equipment usage • Minimize the hazardous liability exposure associated with the transportation of loose turnings contaminated with cutting fluids • Help to clean up and consolidate scrap metal handling areas in the shop, allowing for a clean presentation throughout. Applied Recovery Systems can convert a manufacturing cost into a profit center. With several models in the lineup to choose from, there’s a Recovery Systems Technology Briquetter matched to your needs.ARS Briquetters are simple to operate. Employees require little training and become proficient in minimal time.A sturdy frame of heavy-wall structural tubing protects the hopper from damage when loading.

In addition to standard ARS features, Foundry Models offer:• Horsepower controlled variable displacement pumps to boost energy efficiency• Parker Hannifin valve blocks with poppets to minimize hydraulic shock• A 14-inch or 16 inch main cylinder for maximum compression• Optional tooling size on all briquetters for increased face pressure• Control diagnosticsFoundry ApplicationsDIMENSIONAL DATASPECIF ICATIONSWe offer hopper extensions to add storage space to the briquetter.
