Separated alloys
Ferrous metals, stainless steel, aluminium, brass, bronze and special alloys are kept apart to prevent mixing and loss of homogeneity.
FULL METALSMETAL SWARF AND CHIPS
Metal swarf recovery and management for businesses.
A dedicated service for machine shops and production departments that generate metal chips and need to keep them separated, identifiable and ready for collection.

Form, alloy and condition change the handling requirements.
Swarf, chips and filings behave differently from solid scrap. Alloy, particle size, bulk density and machining fluids affect collection, handling and batch assessment.
Full Metals regularly manages these flows by starting with the process that generates them. Materials, quantities, frequency and condition are assessed to define containers, collection methods and a recovery route suited to the actual case.
Fluids and moisture
Oil, emulsions and residual moisture are considered when assessing the material and the applicable handling requirements.
Recurring flows
For continuous production, containers, space, loading methods and collection frequency are assessed together.
01
COLLECTION AT SOURCE
Separation at source protects batch quality.
When swarf from different alloys enters the same container, the material becomes more difficult to identify and recover. Organised collection at the point of production keeps its origin clear and reduces subsequent sorting.
- Separate containers by material or grade
- Identify the production department and process
- Control foreign matter and contamination
- Check conditions before collection
02
CONTINUOUS SERVICE
Containers and collections scaled to production.
Volume, weight, bulk density and available space determine the logistics solution. Full Metals also considers access, loading equipment and the rate at which the material is generated.
After collection, weighing, inspection and preparation accompany the batch to its selected destination. Acceptance and handling always depend on the material's actual characteristics.
HOW WE WORK
A clear process, from the initial assessment to the final destination.
Origin
We collect information on the process, material and declared grade.
Condition
We check form, homogeneity, fluids and contamination.
Organisation
We define the container, loading method and collection frequency.
Recovery
We inspect and prepare the batch for the applicable recovery route.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Useful information before you contact us.
Which types of metal swarf do you assess?
Full Metals assesses ferrous, stainless-steel, aluminium, brass, bronze and special-alloy swarf and chips. The solution depends on composition, quantity, homogeneity and condition.
Do you handle wet or oily swarf?
Oil, emulsions and moisture must be declared and assessed. They affect containment, handling and applicable requirements, so every flow is evaluated on the actual material.
Can different alloys be collected together?
Separate, clearly identified containers are preferable. Separating grades within the department reduces mixing and makes batch inspection more reliable.
Can recurring collections be scheduled?
Yes. For continuous flows, container type and frequency are defined around quantities, density, available space, access and loading methods.
