1 ARP - Chip Disposal and Recycling Systems

2 ARP - Specialists in chip disposal We are an engineering company specializing in the development of complete chip disposal concepts as well as environmental technology. Our headquarters are in Alpirsbach in the Northern Black Forest and we currently employ around 55 people. The product range is divided into two. One product area consists of chip disposal systems in the form of above-floor pumping systems and vacuum extraction systems, chip processing systems for size-reduction, centrifuging and transportation as well as the new and innovative chip silo technology. The second area is made up of machines for the size reduction of waste, recycling plants, granulating plants, plants for food processing and the processing of paper, plastics and textiles. Today we sell our machines throughout the world: Austria, Switzerland, Benelux, Scandinavia, France, Italy, the United Kingdom, Greece as well as the USA, Canada and Japan are all markets in which the company operates successfully.

3 ARP - Expertise in design, project planning and production We build our machine and system designs in our modern production facility to the highest demands of quality and cost-consciousness. We guarantee our customers an optimized price/ performance ratio through maximum flexibility. Our engineering department will solve your problems with individual, practical designs: Development, engineering, optimization, modification, modernization or system extension. Our experienced technicians offer environmentally compatible, cost-effective solutions with a system. We offer you complete all-round service, available at any time through our special ARP Hotline. No matter whether it concerns maintenance or repair, we are on the spot at once with expert assistance.

4 ARP - Chip disposal with vacuum technology In the case of dry above-floor chip disposal using vacuum extraction systems, coarsely broken-up chips are transported above-floor via a vacuum pipe system and fed to a central processing unit.

5 The central electric box contains all the switching and control elements necessary for the trouble-free conveyance and disposal of the chips. A rotary piston blower with high functional safety and availability is used as the vacuum unit. A filter separating unit ensures that the discharged air is unpolluted. The vacuum extraction systems are suitable for machines with self-supply or dry processing. The ARP installations can be used in all kinds of metal-cutting production facilities and provide safe, fast and clean clearance of the chips as a result of their absolute flexibility and the extremely low space requirement of the entire pipe system. The chips incurring in the machine tools are dosed to the pipe system either via a suction hopper or via a suction transfer lock. The chips are rapidly, safely and cleanly conveyed through the enclosed pipe system to the central unit by means of the suction air generated by the blower. The entire pipe system is especially distinguished by its unlimited flexibility. It is always possible to remove machines from the system or add new ones to it without having to carry out extensive conversion work on the pipe system.

6 ARP- Chip disposal with pump technology The chips and cooling lubricant reach the pumping station via a chip conveyor and a lifting pump or an overflow pipe system. Chips are pumpable below a length of approx. 25 mm (without an inclination to tangle). This property is provided in the case of most steel chips from milling, cutting or deburring machines as well as in the case of many grey cast-iron machining operations. Chips from turning or boring operations have to be broken up in most cases. Size reduction takes place in a cutting unit arranged above the pumping station. The pumpable metal chips are conveyed together with the cooling lubricant to a collecting conveyor or a filtration unit through a pipe system. The ARP pump installations can be used in all kinds of metal-cutting production facilities and provide safe, fast and clean clearance of the chips as a result of their flexible, innovative design and the extremely low space requirement.

7 ARP - Perfect storage and logistics saves time and money The core component of our system is a processing plant. It can be fed manually or automatically by means of chip transport systems. The chips are broken up in the installation and dried by centrifuging. The waste is then pourable and has a residual moisture of less than 5%. Recovered cooling lubricants can be returned to the production process. The processed chips are stored in large silos. The silo chambers are automatically emptied into a truck standing underneath. We also take care of the transportation. A sensor installed in the silos sends a signal via radio telephone to our logistics centre when the chambers are full. We coordinate the entire logistics for you. The transport costs are significantly reduced as a result of the longer intervals and the large quantities. Changing over to this innovative type of the disposal is worthwhile even with an average volume of chips. The processed chips fetch a far higher selling price, the simplified logistics and the reduced deployment of personnel result in considerable savings. When contractually regulated, the additional proceeds and savings often cover a very large proportion of the investment costs.

8 ARP - Chip processing and environmental technology Chip cutting unit Depending on requirements, ARP offers chip cutting units for a great variety of materials and chip sizes. The size reduction of the chips is imperative for transportation in pipe systems. ARP chip cutting unit systems with a chip chamber screen ensure a uniform pumpable chip quality. Centrifuging for Chip drying For drying steel chips and aluminium chips. Drying increases the market value of the chips considerably. It is advisable to use an individual system approach based on the ARP system products for many problem definitions. Our technicians will be pleased to advise you at length about the various technical options and prepare an objective commercial analysis. ARP GmbH & Co.
