Brass
Offcuts, fittings, pieces and swarf are checked for alloy grade, cleanliness and inserts.
FULL METALSBRASS AND BRONZE
Brass and bronze recycling.
Copper-based alloys with different compositions require identification, separation and inspection before entering the right recovery channel.

Similar in appearance, different in composition.
Brass and bronze cover different alloy families. Offcuts, swarf, taps and fittings, bushes, castings and machining residues may vary by alloying elements, cleanliness and form. Mixing materials that look similar can reduce batch homogeneity and complicate its destination.
Full Metals assesses the material according to its production origin, observable characteristics and, where useful, XRF analysis. Classification supports the separation of grades and the preparation of batches consistent with foundry and specialist-operator requirements.
Bronze
Castings, bushes and residues require attention to composition and possible mixed alloys.
Swarf
Fluids, moisture and contaminants can affect handling and must be assessed on the actual material.
01
ALLOY CONTROL
Analysis reduces classification errors.
Visual identification is a useful first step, but it is not always sufficient. When origin data is uncertain or similar alloys are present, elemental analysis using XRF equipment can support identification and separation.
- Verify the material's origin
- Check inserts and foreign parts
- Separate different grades and alloys
- Build more homogeneous batches

FROM DEPARTMENT TO COLLECTION
Orderly collection protects quality.
Keeping different alloys separate during production reduces mixing and simplifies verification. For continuous flows, Full Metals can define containers and frequencies suited to the available quantities and space.
Following collection, weighing, inspection and preparation accompany the material towards the selected industrial destination.
HOW WE WORK
A clear process, from the initial assessment to the final destination.
Origin
We establish the process from which the residue originates.
Inspection
We verify the alloy's form, cleanliness and composition.
Sorting
We separate incompatible grades and materials.
Recovery route
We prepare consistent batches for specialist operators and foundries.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Useful information before you contact us.
How can brass and bronze be distinguished?
Appearance alone may not be enough. Origin, markings and composition analysis help distinguish alloys correctly where uncertainty exists.
Do you also collect swarf?
Swarf can be assessed according to alloy, quantity, moisture, oils or other contamination, and the applicable handling requirements.
Can several alloys be managed at one production site?
Yes. The solution uses separate, clearly identified collection points to preserve the homogeneity of each flow.
