Incoming material
Identity, service history, visible contamination and storage condition.
PROCESS & QUALITY
Quality starts
before the crusher.
Every refractory stream has a history.
We begin with its source and work towards its next use.
01SOURCE KNOWLEDGE
Identify the material
Review the original refractory, generator, equipment and service zone. Available lining records, photographs and analysis help establish the stream’s identity.
02MATERIAL INTEGRITY
Separate compatible streams
Keep material families identifiable. Mixed demolition can introduce slag, shell metal, insulation and unrelated brick chemistry into otherwise useful material.
03SUITABLE PREPARATION
Clean & select the route
Sort and remove foreign matter. Treatment is selected for the material and its next application, including thermal processing where appropriate.
04DEFINED FRACTIONS
Crush, grind & grade
Prepare fractions against the agreed particle-size requirement. Grading is considered alongside chemistry, physical condition and the customer’s process.
05AGREED QUALITY
Verify the relevant parameters
Agree the analysis and physical checks that matter for the grade: oxides, residual carbon, contamination, moisture and size distribution as applicable.
06APPLICATION FEEDBACK
Qualify the next application
Connect the material information with laboratory and production trials. Customer feedback helps refine the specification for repeat supply.
The route is material-specific. Not every stream requires every treatment stage.
QUALITY THAT FOLLOWS THE MATERIAL
Beyond a single
chemistry number.
Source, contamination and physical preparation
can matter as much as the headline oxide.
Prepared material
Required treatment, grading, relevant analysis and agreed physical checks.
Customer qualification
Trial requirements, approved limits, documentation and feedback for repeat supply.
A SUSTAINABLE CORE
Measure the material.
Understand the outcome.
Recycling creates value when the recovered material has a credible next use.
A project can track material collected, accepted, recovered and directed to a residual route. Clear material records provide a practical basis for reviewing a recovery programme.
