Fast and accurate alloy identification is key to maximizing profits in scrap metal recycling. Here’s why you should use XRF analyzers and why The XRF Company is the best place to buy one.
Being able to sort more valuable alloys from less valuable ones is essential to maximizing profits in your scrap. The most accurate way to do so is with XRF technology.
For example, by searching for “scrap metal prices” online, you can find lots of up-to-date price lists to compare alloys to one another. If you find that current pricing for Copper 1 is $3.40/lb, and Insulated Copper Wire is only $0.70/lb, you’ll probably want to focus on locating the more profitable scrap.
XRF analyzers like those sold by The XRF Company are essential to accurately sorting your scrap and investing your time and money in alloys that will grow your business.
XRF analyzers deliver results in seconds, providing detailed insights into a metal’s breakdown and alloy designation. See examples of analysis in seconds in the screenshots below.
XRF analysis makes it easy to separate high-value alloys from lower-value ones in seconds.
For example, when sorting stainless steels, you'll want to sort by nickel and chrome content. When sorting aluminum, you'll want to organize alloys from another, such as 6061 from 6063, depending on use case and profit margins.
Analyzing these metals with an XRF analyzer not only means that you can feel confident when having to make quick purchase decisions, but also that you can reap the rewards long-term.
At The XRF Company, we offer certified pre-owned XRF analyzers so that you can maximize profits while saving on up-front costs. Here are just a few reasons to buy your XRF device from us today:
