Specialised Sorting

Specialised sorting is critical in the stainless steel recycling industry because stainless steel contains a mix of different elements, including iron, chromium, nickel, and other alloying elements.

These metals all have different physical and chemical properties, and separating them is essential for the recycling process.

The specialized sorting of stainless steel involves a series of steps. Once the stainless steel scrap material is received, it is taken to a controlled area for the sorting and grading to begin. This process is done with the use of handheld spectrometers. These specialised pieces of equipment provides an accurate breakdown of the chemical composition of the scrap material.

After the material has been sorted and graded, it is re-weighed and placed in the respective stockpile.

Specialised Sorting

Specialised sorting is critical in the stainless steel recycling industry because stainless steel contains a mix of different metals, including iron, chromium, nickel, and other alloying elements.

These metals all have different physical and chemical properties, and separating them is essential for the recycling process.

The specialised sorting of stainless steel involves a series of steps, starting with the collection and processing of stainless steel scrap.

After sorting, the stainless steel scrap is melted down and refined to remove impurities and create new stainless steel products.

Recycling stainless steel is an eco-friendly process that conserves natural resources, reduces greenhouse gas emissions, and reduces waste.

By using specialised sorting techniques, we can recover a higher percentage of valuable metals, minimise waste and improve the sustainability of the manufacturing process.
