River Metals Recycling
Pioneers New Technology,
Installs Second Gamma-Tech Analyzer
| River Metals Recycling, LLC, a wholly owned venture of Cincinnati-based The David J. Joseph Company, announced the installation of its second Gamma-Tech Crossbelt Metal Analyzer. The on-line bulk analyzer qualitatively analyzes scrap as it moves on a conveyer belt. | |
| Pioneering this new
technology, River Metals Recycling (RMR) installed the world’s first on-line
bulk scrap analyzer at its Newport, Kentucky yard in late 2002. The second
on-line bulk analyzer was recently installed at RMR’s Louisville yard, and
a third is planned for installation at RMR’s Henderson, KY yard. By the
first quarter of 2005, 100% of RMR’s shredded scrap will be analyzed by
a Gamma-Tech machine, resulting in a cleaner shredded grade with lower residuals.
Trademark Metals Recycling,
RMR’s sister company, also plans to install an on-line bulk analyzer at
one of its Florida locations in 2005.
The original bulk scrap analyzer
concept was developed by Gamma-Tech and The David Joseph Company in the
late 1990’s. Leading the movement to this new technology, the field testing
of the first on-line analyzer began at DJJ’s Detroit yard in August, 1998,
following The Joseph Company tradition of focusing on continuous improvements
and innovative new processes to extract the maximum value from ferrous and
nonferrous scrap metal. |
