One metal, many grades

Aluminium appears in beverage cans, window extrusions and cast components. These products can have different alloy compositions and coatings, so sorting helps downstream processors manage feed quality.

Preparing a cleaner stream

Separating attachments and keeping loads free of avoidable contamination can help processing. Discuss preparation requirements with the receiving business before spending time on dismantling.

From recovery to remelting

A typical route includes collection, sorting, size reduction where appropriate, and remelting at a suitable facility. Process controls manage impurities and alloy composition so recovered material can become useful feedstock again.
