Thermal Scientific Niton XL3t

Picture
The Thermo Scientific Niton XL3t handheld x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzer combines purpose-built, proprietary electronics with an ergonomic design and easy-to-use software, transforming XRF analysis. It does this through reduced measurement times, increased precision, and lower detection limits. The integrated, tilting, color, touch-screen display to the customizable menus makes it easy for operator to use and document results.

Copper Recovery

Picture
Our Copper process has been developed to produce 99% copper return from insulated wire. Our exceptional process separates plastic and PVC from the copper and end result is bagged for shipping. Several magnetic conveyers separate metals that can contaminate the process.

Our process is not just limited to insulated copper. Copper stamping, heavy gauge copper, tin plated terminals, brass, are among several other metals that we can efficiently process. Our equipment is regularly maintained and inspected to assure smooth operations and reduce downtime. Our two shifts allow us to maintain a well greased operation and a clean facility. Our flexible shifts and hours has allowed us to maximize efficiency and reduce operating cost. 


Bailing Process

Bailing has been an intricate part of our operation. This has allowed us to bail a variety of material from hard metals such as stainless steel to cardboard, plastic and aluminum cans. Both bailers in our facility can compact bails at 1200lbs to 3000lbs depending on material. Our bailers enhanced features insure a well compacted bail wrapped with an 11 gauge wire system, which provides a dense package allowing shipping and handling efficiencies.
