Features and main stages of metal reception

The company "SITILOM" offers the acceptance of metal in St. Petersburg, which is carried out according to a certain scheme:

1. Determining the type of metal. For this, a special analyzer is used. Proper sorting of recyclables so that it will be valued at the maximum value.
2. Quality control. This stage is more related to non-ferrous metals. The point worker assesses the degree of contamination. This takes into account the presence of rust or non-metallic elements such as glass or wood. The percentage of contamination reaches a quarter of the total volume of metal, the cost of recyclables is reduced.
3. Weighing. When weighing, only the mass of metal without containers and non-metallic elements is taken into account.
4. Cost calculation. The cost of recyclables is calculated based on its weight, type and percentage of non-metallic elements.
