Take the guesswork out of your scrap metal operations
Many varieties of metal, including high temperature alloys, are entering scrap yards, often from unknown sources or with mislabeled or misidentified documentation about the origin and composition. Since manufacturers are increasingly using recycled materials in their fabrication processes, the material integrity of the finished product could be compromised. Accurate sorting and metal identification is paramount to the safety of the consumer, as well as your ability to satisfy your customer, which could affect both profitability and reputation. Our scrap metal recycling solutions help ensure fast, accurate, and safe metal and alloy analysis in your scrap metal operations.
Be absolutely sure of the value of the metals and alloys you buy and sell with a fast, simple nondestructive solution for analysis of metals and alloys, including light metals like aluminum.
Fast alloy grade analysis and identification for accurate scrap sorting
Base your decisions on experience
Our lightweight yet rugged Niton analyzers perform non-destructive analysis of metals and alloys in seconds, with little to no sample preparation. For over 30 years, recycling yards have used these analyzers with confidence to verify elements in virtually all types of metal alloys, from trace levels to commercially pure metals, and even between alloy grades that are nearly identical in composition.
Undesirable radioactive sources (from old medical equipment, density gauges, etc.) can show up at metal processing facilities, threatening the safety of employees, products, and resulting in expensive plant decontamination and shut down. Discarded radioactive materials can seriously contaminate a shredder, baler, steel melt, or bag house, resulting in significant clean-up costs and lost productivity – and can hurt your reputation if it ends up in material sold to customers. Multiple points of inspection are necessary in the workflow to help ensure processed materials are free from radioactive sources.
Mitigate the risk of materials contaminated by radiation
Achieve highly sensitive radiation detection
Our portals, conveyor belt monitors, and personal radiation detectors can help discover radioactive sources that frequently show up at recycling facilities.
