Metal Recovery

Oldroyd Intec have a strong pedigree in the design and supply of equipment for the Metal Recovery industry. We are specialist engineers servicing the non-ferrous metal industry, whether that is primary metal smelting plants, secondary metal recycling and smelting plants, metal refineries or foundries.

• Secondary Lead (from lead acid battery and soft lead residues)
• Secondary Aluminium (from dross, turnings & castings)
• Precious Metals (Platinum Group Metals, Silver, Gold, Tin)
• Secondary Copper
• Primary Lead

Each Process has the following stages:

Feedstock Preparation - grading of raw material into metallic residue feedstock for the smelting process, and processing of non-metallic by-products into other saleable material or for disposal.

• Secondary Aluminium Feedstock Preparation
• Secondary Lead - Battery Breaking
• Secondary Lead - Soft Lead Residues (Scrap Dock)

Smelting - this is a high temperature process for converting metallic residue feedstock into metal bullion and slag waste.

• Rotary Furnaces
• Tilting Furnaces
• Static Reverb Furnaces
• Ancillary Equipments (door, feeder, ventilation , gas trail etc).

Refining - this is the purification of the metal bullion from the smelting process to achieve a desired specification culminating in the production of commercial grade metal ingots.
