Ferrous & Non-Ferrous Scrap
Ferrous Scrap
We handle steel, iron, and other ferrous metals with advanced processing technology. Our efficient systems ensure high-quality recycling and fair market value.
1. Types of Ferrous Scrap:
- Steel: This includes scrap from old machinery, vehicles, or construction materials.
- Cast Iron: Commonly found in pipes, machinery parts, and old engines.
2. Processing Steps:
- Collection and Sorting: Ferrous scrap is collected from various sources. It’s then sorted using magnetic separators since ferrous metals are magnetic.
- Shredding and Crushing: Large pieces are broken down into smaller fragments to facilitate easier handling and processing.
- Melting: The shredded metal is melted in electric arc furnaces or induction furnaces. This step removes impurities and prepares the metal for new applications.
- Refinement: The molten metal is purified and alloyed as necessary to meet specific standards before being cast into new products.
Non-Ferrous Scrap
Our expertise extends to aluminium, copper, brass, and other non-ferrous metals. We use state-of-the-art techniques to maximize recovery and value.
1. Types of Non-Ferrous Scrap:
- Aluminium: Found in cans, window frames, and automotive parts.
- Copper: Often sourced from electrical wiring and plumbing.
- Lead, Zinc, Nickel, and Tin: Other metals with various applications, including batteries, roofing materials, and alloys.
2. Processing Steps:
- Collection and Sorting: Non-ferrous metals are collected and sorted manually or using sophisticated technologies like eddy current separators, which use magnetic fields to separate non-ferrous metals from other materials.
- Shredding and Granulation: The metals are shredded and granulated into smaller pieces to facilitate further processing.
- Separation and Concentration: Specialized methods such as flotation or chemical treatments are used to separate different non-ferrous metals from each other and from contaminants.
- Melting and Refinement: Like ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals are melted in specific furnaces. The molten metal is then purified and alloyed to meet quality standards.
