Gunmetal, brass and copper tube from the SHK plant sell
Purchase of gunmetal, tap brass, copper pipe, lead and stainless steel for SHK companies: nationwide collection from 500 kg, billing by credit.
What happens in your company
In the SHK operation, scrap metal is produced on every construction site: in boiler replacement, in bathroom renovation, in the dismantling of old lines. Collected separately, it's almost always worth it.
Gunmetal scrap pieces are pump housings, impellers, plain bearings, sliders and cast fittings: reddish-brown, matte, sandy cast iron and because of the tin content the strongest grade in the yard. Gunmetal turnings In the case of post-processing of housings and bushings, they belong to a separate barrel, not to the light yellow Brass chips. Heavy brass scrap is the valve brass: valves, sliders, fittings and body over one kilo per piece. Brass 58 covers the golden yellow turning and milling parts and valve bodies, Brass 63 thin, light yellow plates and drawing parts. Copper pipe, copper sheet and pipe sections run as Refining-grade copperOnce insulation wool is off and no water is in the pipes.
What comes from boiler and roof area
Copper/brass radiators, iron-free means heat exchanger and cooler made of copper and brass, on which no more iron hangs, emptied and dry. Lead Comes as rolled lead and lead sheet from the fireplace connection and from throats as well as pipe lead from old buildings; we do not accept batteries and batteries. V2A waste up to 1,5 m are tubes, plates and rails made of 1.4301; the limit of length is a real acceptance criterion, longer ones must be shortened beforehand.
How pure it must be
The magnet belongs in the workshop, not on our farm: steel spindles in fittings, pressed cores in gunmetal housings, pin screws and steel bearing shells he finds in seconds. What remains seated makes of a gunmetal or brass type mixed commodity. Soldering tin pads also work on cooler floors, chromed surfaces and seals. On pipes from the dismantling press insulation wool, mortar and cement residues; water in pipes and coolers weighs with, it is not paid. The most obvious separation: reddish-brown fracture surface is called gunmetal, golden yellow is called brass. Separately, each grade gets its own daily price, see Gunmetal price and Brass price.
Pick-up rhythm and container
From 500 kg we collect nationwide with our own fleet; the collection costs are staggered according to distance, lie between 40 and 350 euros and are fixed before the journey. In the case of fittings and gunmetal housings, the weight is reached earlier than the space suggests: a half-filled grid box of old valves is often at the limit. If necessary, we place grid boxes, barrels and containers in the appropriate size, for the fleet see Logistics. Separate containers per grade have proven to be a closed one for lead. At ongoing construction sites we pick up regularly after consultation, see Collection. Smaller things we accept without appointment in Ludwigshafen am Rhein, Industriestraße 4, Monday to Saturday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Have your own pages Machining and Electrical.

Questions about sanitary, heating & air conditioning
How do I distinguish cast red from brass?
At the color of a fresh wedge or interface: gunmetal looks reddish to salmon, brass yellow. At the shape: Gunmetal is cast material — valve body, pump housing, water meter, often with rough casting skin and cast seam, while brass is usually pressed, turned or available as sheet metal. Gunmetal sounds duller, and the fracture surface is grainy instead of tough.
How many times do you pick up?
From 500 kg, and the clock depends on your level, not on the calendar. With chips from ongoing production, these are often a few weeks, and with carbide it takes longer because the weight is stuck in a bucket. We agree to regular pick-up by arrangement. Depending on the distance between 40 and 350 euros, the pick-up costs are fixed before the trip.
Can I get a credit for the bookkeeping?
Yeah. We charge for commercial deliveries by credit in accordance with § 14 para. 2 VATG, so you do not write an invoice. VAT is not based on the fact that the recipient of the benefit owes the tax on scrap metal, § 13b para. 2 no. 7 VATG. In addition, the weighing slip of the calibrated scale with grade, weight and date; is paid within 24 hours.
Do steel spindles and iron cores need to get out of the fittings?
Where it can be done without much effort, yes. Steel spindles, pressed-in cores, pin screws and bearing shells made of steel make of tap brass mixed goods. The magnet shows in seconds what's still inside. Chromium-plated and nickel-plated surfaces work the same way, but cannot be removed; we sort them out during the evaluation.
Do you use copper pipe with soldering points and insulating wool?
Soldering points and small soldering tin residues at fittings do not change the grade, copper tube runs as copper Raff. Insulation wool, mortar and cement residues belong, and there is no water in the pipes, because it weighs with it and is not paid. Brass fittings better pull them out, they have their own, other daily price.
Do you take lead from the fireplace connection and old lead pipes?
Yes, we buy lead, lead sheets and tube lead. Clean soft lead brings the best proceeds, color, mortar and iron adhesions press the classification. Collect it in your own closed container. We do not accept batteries and batteries, lead exclusively as metal and not as a cell with housing and acid.
