Handheld XRF Analyzers for Scrap Metal Recycling

Realizing the Return on Investment: examples of XRF benefiting scrap recyclers

Where the ROI is…

The X-Met 7000 series is ready to use out of the box. A properly configured system essentially requires a user to pull the trigger, wait for as little as three seconds,

and then identify the information that is critical to their interest.

Profit by Sorting: alloy grade identified from the largest alloy library on the market

Profit from Quantification: precise concentrations of the metals in a sample are shown

These two aspects are how you can realize a fast return on investment and begin

increasing profits for the long-term ~ examples of ROI follow ~

Profit by XRF Sorting

In this example, a scrap buyer that purchases stainless as 304 has the ability to accurately sort the steel into 304 and 316 by using the X-Met 7000 Handheld XRF. Because of a higher level of Mo, the

increased value of sorting out the 316 will result in increased profits in the long term…

RE-SELL @$260,000

Sorter buys 100 tons of 304SS

per month at $2,500/ton

buys @ $250,000

SORT

90 tons of 304SS valued @ $225,000

10 tons of 316SS valued @ $35,000

Profit of $10,000 / month

because of XRF sorting

Just by reselling the 304 at a break-even and only taking profit on the 316 (plus not taking into account other transactions) a metal recycler sorting

with an X-Met 7000 will pay for the equipment in two months …from then on, it is additional profit

Profit by Quantification

The percentage of an element within an alloy grade can vary within a given range. As an example, Ni content can vary from 8 to 10% in 304SS. Regional variations on alloys may create greater

variance, Russian grade B26 (close to 304SS) contains Ni at 8 to 12%. This example highlights the use of X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) to accurately quantify an individual metal in purchased alloys.

RE-SELL @ $268,500

Sorter buys 100 tons of 304 with 8-12% Ni

buys @ $250,000

SORT

Actually 8-10% Ni in 70 tons

valued @ $175,000

Actually 10-12% Ni in 30 tons

valued @ $93,500

Profit of $18,500

because of XRF accuracy

in this example, an X-Met 7000 eXpress will pay for itself in one transaction

In this example, an X-Met 7000 eXpress will pay for itself in less than two transactions!

(again, this doesn’t account for other transactions you may have)

Major X-Met Benefit

The Overall Ease of Use You have limited time…so the X-Met 7000 series is ready to use out of the box. The X-Met has the fastest start-up time on the market (20 sec) and longest battery life (10-12 hrs). The screen interface is the largest on the market so you don’t have to scroll for menus or results and it features touch-screen operation (no stylus pen and you can use it with gloves on!). The system is designed so that you can reliably identify a metal and move onto the next sample.

Additional Benefits

Additional advantages of the X-Met 7000 series for Scrap Metal Identification:

Point and Shoot Operation, minimal training Largest Alloy Library is Automatic Option for Site Specific Alloy Additions Measurement Mode Adjusts Automatically Secure and Rugged Design Fastest Start-up Time Available Icon Driven Interface Large color touch screen (with gloves on!) Longest Battery Life, 10-12 hours Light Element Capabilities are Available Great Report Functionality (just ask us)
