Copper heavy (shrinking copper, base 95% copper content) includes massive parts such as bulk rails, contacts and thick pipes. We calculate the copper heavy scrap price per kg daily.

What counts to Cu heavy base 95% copper content

Cu heavy base 95% copper content includes heavy copper scrap with at least 95% copper content. Solid parts with high material density and little foreign material are typical: collection rails, thick-walled pipes, sheet metal cutting, copper casting, contact pieces and winding cores. The conductor's share is not the question here – it is crucial how much foreign material still adheres.

Typical seizure sites

Disassembly and dismantling in industrial plants, switchgear and transformer stations, production residues from metal processing, installations in commercial buildings. Such scrap metal usually comes palletized or in lattice boxes with us.

Which lowers the classification

Screwed iron, insulators made of plastic, lacquer and paint layers, tin bases, bearings and shafts in components, with oil and grease. Those who separate before delivery, raise the copper content and thus the classification.

Delimitation to Raff and Berry

Mixed scrap metal with pipes, sheets and lighter oxidation runs than Refining-grade copper. Blanker, clean wire is Cu Berry / 98 % and is rated higher. We carry copper and brass cooler packages separately.

Cu hard to send across Germany

This is how the parcel shipment works

Choose grade, specify quantity, receive shipping label, deliver package. You can send in copper up to 1,000 kg. Heavy scrap metal belongs in a stable cardboard box with solid padding, otherwise the packaging breaks open on the go. After the entrance, we weigh and pay.

From what amount is the collection worthwhile

From 500 kg we pick up Germany-wide with our own fleet – with heavy copper scraps this border is quickly reached. The collection costs are staggered after distance and are fixed before the journey. For whole plants request an offer.

Delivery to Ludwigshafen

Industriestraße 4, 67063 Ludwigshafen am Rhein, Monday to Saturday from 9 am to 6 pm, without appointment. At our recycling yard, we examine the scrap metal together before it goes to the scales. The daily price can be found at Metal prices. Further delivery points will follow.

Weighing and disbursement

Weighing on calibrated scales, the weighing is yours. Payment is made within 24 hours, cash or by bank transfer. In the event of major disbursements, the Money Laundering Act requires an ID card. For commercial deliveries, the tax liability applies according to § 13b UStG. The copper scrap purchase is open to both private and business – we have been running the company as a family business for over ten years.

Frequently Asked Questions About Buying Cu Hard Base 95% Copper Content

How hard does a single part have to be so that it's considered as a Cu hard?

It is not the weight of the pieces that decides, but the copper content of at least 95 percent with little adherent foreign material. A massive assembly rail fulfills this as well as a short, thick-walled pipe piece. Mixed pipes and sheets with start-up colours we arrange against this Refining-grade copper The Commission's proposal is a very important one. Cu Berry / 98 %.

We dismantle a switchgear and have copper for sale for the first time – what does it matter?

Separate iron, insulators and plastic parts and provide the rails palletized. From 500 kg we come Germany-wide with our own fleet, smaller quantities go up to 1,000 kg as a package to us. Weighed on calibrated scale, paid within 24 hours. For whole plants request an offer.

How do we calculate in advance what copper is worth?

About the daily price of each grade: Copper price current The price of the day stands for every copper type, so it is also difficult for Cu. With the estimated weight of your pallets, this results in a usable size for the calculation. It becomes binding only with weighing on calibrated scales.
