Non Ferrous
Non-ferrous material found in a metal scrap yard.
High Temperature Alloys (Hi-temp)
Description There are various Hi-temp alloys such as Titanium, Inconel, Tungsten/Carbide, and Cupronickel, to name a few. Upgrade potential Most of these Hi-temp alloys look like stainless steel, so it is important to test any stainless like material with an analyzer to determine its type. These types of upgrades will add significant value due to
Shredded Stainless Steel [Zurik]
Description Zurik is primarily composed of shredded stainless steel. The main variables that dictate the value of this material are metallic content (should be 95%+), the size of each piece (fraction size), and the amount of copper & brass (red metal). It is very important to take regular samples of this material to determine the
Shelmo
Description Shelmo is produced when Electric motors are sent through the shredder, resulting in a copper winding without the outside steel case. Due to the loss of steel, the copper recovery increases, resulting in a higher price than electric motors. ISRI definition Shelmo Shredded Electric Motors (also called “shredder pickings” or “meatballs”) Shall consist of
Fragmented Aluminum [Twitch]
Description Twitch is very similar to Zorba in that it is made up of shredded aluminum; however, there are no other metal types. Upgrade potential As with all shredder items, the material can always be made purer with sorting devices. ISRI definition Twitch Floated Fragmented Aluminum Scrap (from Automobile Shredders) Derived from wet or dry
Shredded Aluminum [Zorba]
Description Zorba is primarily composed of shredded aluminum with trace amounts of red metals. The main variables that dictate the value of this material are metallic content (should be 95%+), the size of each piece (fraction size), and the amount of copper & brass (red metal). Upgrade potential It is very important to take regular
