We sort shredded nonferrous mixed metals according to the materials such as aluminum, stainless steel, copper and brass through segregation line sorting and manual sorting. Other types of nonferrous scraps are cut with plasma arc or cutter, pressed, exfoliated or processed by other methods depending on the material type and made into raw material products.
 |
| Materials (10-30 m/m) sorted with a specific gravity separator using water are further sorted with an air separator, from which nonferrous metals are collected. |

| Large stainless steel scraps such as plant equipment, tanks, pipes and tubs made of stainless steel are cut into appropriate sizes using plasma arc. |

| Compressors collected from household air-conditioners and refrigerators
are cut with a shell cutter and sorted into steel scrap and motor
cores to be processed. Such compressors have gone through appropriate
primary processing (CFC, oils, etc.) at household appliance processing
plants. |
