Non-ferrous scrap
Non-ferrous scrap is metal waste without significant iron content — base metals such as aluminium, copper, lead, nickel and zinc, or alloys such as brass. Mixed fractions often contain traces of precious metals.
Process
Separating until a smelter can use it
Depending on quality and composition we decide which non-ferrous concentrate an input material is processed into.
Because natural reserves of these metals are becoming scarcer, their recycling is gaining importance — and because production from ore is highly energy-intensive, every tonne recovered cuts CO₂ emissions considerably.
The Müller-Guttenbrunn Group specialises in separating these metals so that the concentrates can be turned into new raw materials in downstream smelters. We source all kinds of non-ferrous metals as well as complex mixtures of them.
The separation happens at MGG Metran in Kematen an der Ybbs — through a combination of physical processes whose sequence is different for every input material.
- Aluminium
- Copper and brass
- Lead
- Nickel
- Zinc
- Stainless steel
- Complex mixed metals
