Copper content reduces the value of scrap material in the ferrous foundry industry. Metal recycling facilities, therefore, look to provide certification on the scrap they provide to increase the saleable price per ton. A Midwestern metal recovery facility installed their first copper detection system with General Kinematics components with success. As this customer looked to install another system in an Indiana facility, they turned to GK for technical support. - General Kinematics provided the first system with a Finger-Screen to remove the smaller size product, which the metal recycler found to be concentrated with copper and broken cast iron. This allowed for removal of the product prior to the copper detection system.
