Sampling and assaying
The success of our operations depends largely on the quality of sampling & assaying.
The extended, continuously changing, mix of complex feed materials such as e-scrap, catalysts, tankhouse slimes, ... make sampling and assaying indeed a key success factor for sustainable precious metals recycling: our customers are entitled to and get maximal value for their materials!
We continuously innovate our sampling & assaying processes in close collaboration with our suppliers and measure our success through their feed-back. Most of our sampling & assaying processes and technologies are in-house developed. We aim for maximal accuracy and optimized handling costs, through automation and information management.
Our main sampling facilities are at Hoboken close to the operations.
The full range of industrial by-products and recyclable materials are sampled on site. By means of an "A la Carte" approach, each and every material gets its own dedicated sampling process, mostly in dedicated equipment. An advanced supporting sampling facility, in Hanau, focuses mainly on automotive catalysts, to serve the German market.
With a mind set on automation, efficiency and fast throughput, human intervention and sampling risks are minimized. Through internal and external, independent, assessments we create a leverage to facilitate sustainable operations.
