COMING SOON: ARP Light – A New Generation of Industrial Metal Chip Processing

Proven ARP technology. Intelligently developed further. Now also available for smaller-scale applications with clearly defined chip characteristics.

Not every manufacturing process requires the same level of technical equipment. And not every metal chip handling application calls for a complex, high-performance system.
Depending on the machining process, industrial metalworking generates a wide range of requirements for chip disposal. While large, long and bulky metal chips require robust shredding and conveying systems, numerous manufacturing processes produce continuous quantities of small, well-defined chips.
This is exactly where we at ARP are developing a new solution.

Three system concepts. One commitment. The right solution for every chip handling process.

With the further development of our product portfolio, we are pursuing a clear objective: to offer the most suitable technical and economically viable solution for the various requirements of industrial metal chip processing.

ARP Light – The economically optimised solution.
Designed for continuously generated, small and well-defined metal chips. A consistently simplified system concept that focuses on what really matters.

ARP Flex – The flexible solution.
For companies looking for a high-performance system platform while retaining the flexibility to adapt their installation to future changes in machining processes.

ARP Strong – The high-performance solution.
Designed for demanding chip handling applications involving high throughput volumes as well as long and bulky metal chips. An exceptionally robust system concept meeting the highest demands in shredding, conveying and processing.

Three different system concepts, united by our experience, technological expertise and commitment to reliable solutions in industrial plant engineering.

ARP Light – Less complexity. Intelligent engineering. Proven process expertise.

With ARP Light, we are expanding our system portfolio with an economically optimised concept for industrial metal chip extraction and processing.
The key difference starts right at the beginning of the process: Instead of first processing the chips through a separate shredder and then transporting them via a powered screw conveyor, suitable applications allow the chips to be transferred directly from the machining centre into the vacuum conveying system via a specially adapted feed hopper.
We are also taking a different approach to the pipeline system. Instead of using heavy-duty cast pipe bends, as commonly found in our existing system concepts, ARP Light uses lighter pipe bends specifically designed to meet the required service life and operating conditions.
By specifically designing the system for smaller chips and lower conveying volumes, we create an economical alternative that is nevertheless engineered for reliable and long-lasting operation.

The result: a simplified system layout, individually tailored to the respective process – with fewer drives, reduced control system complexity and fewer electrical components.

Customers do not have to compromise on our proven ARP technology. The downstream separation process – including the separation of metal chips and metalworking fluids, wherever required by the application – continues to be based on our established technology.

Not simply smaller – intelligently designed for the application.

ARP Light follows a clear principle: the technology should deliver exactly what the respective manufacturing process actually requires.
The system concept is particularly suitable for applications involving continuously generated, small and well-defined chips, limited conveying volumes and no significant formation of large chip clusters.
Because even with an economically optimised system, reliability, process safety and intelligent engineering remain our top priorities.

New opportunities in industrial metal chip handling.

With ARP Light, we aim to serve applications economically that would otherwise require a higher investment when using our existing, particularly robust system concepts.
This expands our capabilities in industrial plant engineering and opens up new opportunities for companies looking to make their metal chip disposal processes more efficient, reliable and cost-effective.

ARP Light – The right technology for a clearly defined process.

COMING SOON – Expected market launch in March 2027.
