Quality control in the scrap industry is essential for manufacturers and importers. It ensures the integrity and composition of materials, providing reliable inputs for production. By maintaining consistency and reliability, it reduces costs associated with rework or product failures. Compliance with regulations is ensured, promoting safety and adherence to standards.
Quality control in scrap yards involves sorting, inspecting, and grading metals using techniques like handheld XRF analyzers, magnetic separation, and visual inspection to ensure purity and remove contaminants. Strict procedures—including weighing, shearing, and chemical analysis—are required to meet industry standards and reduce processing costs.
Our Quality Mission
Receiving & Inspection: Incoming material is weighed, inspected, and tested for contaminants (e.g., non-metallic materials, hazardous materials, non-ferrous, and radioactive items).
Our Quality Assurance Framework
1. Sorting and Grading
Sorting by metal type (aluminum, copper, steel, etc.) and grade using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers or Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) for precise alloy identification.
2. Contaminant Removal
Removing contaminants such as oil, paint, plastic, or dirt using cleaning processes. Separating the plastics from metals and much more. We are intentional about what we do.
3. Processing Controls
Ensuring proper sizing through shearing, cutting, or shredding to enhance density and quality, such as in baling or briquetting
4. Final Product Evaluation
Before any product is approved for release, it undergoes:
Products that do not pass are rejected or re-worked — nothing leaves our facility without a green light.
