Refining Tips

We are invested in your success and want to see you get the maximum returns from your refining batches.

Always inventory your scrap by type and by metal and caratage to give you and the refinery a good idea of what yield to expect. For example, the expected yield from a typical floor sweep is around 1% of the ash mass, but polishings can be up to 5% of the ash mass. Making a habit of separating scrap into four main categories can substantially increase your efficiency.

We’ve compiled an article on how to recover even the tiniest amounts of metal, which can all add up over time. Read on to maximise your dust and sludge recovery.
