Question:
What is the most cost-effective method of treating any type of small scrap aluminum, and reduce your emissions at the same time?

Answer:
A Gillespie + Powers, Inc. Decoating System!

The Gillespie + Powers, Inc. Decoating process will pre-heat the scrap. If the melting furnace is close-coupled to the Decoating Systems then full use will be made of this free energy, reducing fuel consumption and increasing melt rate. The usage of salts and flux’s are greatly reduced helping to minimize processing costs. There will also be less salt cake and hence lower disposal costs to landfill/treatment. Metal recovery rates will also be improved as we are now charging clean material to the melt furnace.  With the use of an afterburner and cyclone system the fugitive emissions  are nearly reduced all together. This alone can pay for the Decoating System in a relatively short time.

• Higher metal recovery during subsequent melting.
• Lower dross formation during melting.
• Lower Salt/Flux usage in the melting process.
• No fugitive emissions when charging scrap into melt furnace.
• Energy efficiency, makes use of the energy in the Contaminants.
• Environmental reasons, reduced emissions of VOC’s.
• Market flexibility, the ability to process a wide range of scrap types.
• Safety, reduced risk of explosion in melt furnace due to trapped water.
• Opportunity cost, it is cheaper to recycle aluminum than produce new.
