How does ash content affect the melt yield of copper wire scraps?

Ash content represents non-metallic impurities that do not melt and must be removed as slag. High ash levels in copper wire scraps reduce the final metal recovery rate, meaning you pay for waste that ends up in the furnace dross. Always check the assay report for the exact percentage to calculate the true payable weight.

What is the difference between hot washed and cold washed PET flakes?

Hot washed PET flakes undergo a high-temperature wash that removes more labels and adhesives, resulting in a cleaner polymer chain. Cold washed flakes are processed at lower temperatures, which may leave more residual contaminants. The choice depends on whether your recycling plant has the capacity to handle the higher initial dirt load of cold washed material.

Why does a mill test certificate matter for steel scrap?

A mill test certificate confirms the chemical composition and mechanical properties of the original steel product before it was scrapped. Without it, you cannot verify if the scrap contains the right alloying elements for your specific production process. The destination customs authority often requires this document to prove the material is not hazardous waste.

How do you determine if scrap is heavy or bulky for shipping?

You determine this by calculating the density of the specific Metal Scraps grade against the container's weight limit. If the material is dense, it will hit the weight limit before the volume is full, requiring break-bulk shipping. If it is bulky, like loose shredded scrap, you will fill the cubic capacity before reaching the weight allowance.

What happens if radiation screening fails at the destination port?

If radiation screening fails, the entire container is quarantined and often returned to the port of origin at the seller's expense. This results in total loss of freight costs and potential fines for exporting contaminated material. Always request a pre-shipment radiation clearance certificate from the seller to avoid this costly delay.

How does the stowage factor impact your freight cost per ton?

The stowage factor determines how many cubic meters one ton of Metal Scraps occupies. A high stowage factor means the material is light and bulky, so you pay for air space rather than weight. This increases the freight cost per ton significantly compared to dense, heavy scrap that fills the container by weight.

Why must you verify the moisture level in plastic scrap?

Moisture adds dead weight that you pay for but cannot process. High moisture content in PET Bottle Scrap or Waste Paper Scrap can also cause clumping and processing jams in recycling machinery. Sellers often list a nominal moisture level, but actual field conditions may differ, so always request recent moisture test results.
