Handheld X-Ray Fluorescence, Scrap Metal Recycling

Take the guesswork out of your scrap metal operation. Base your decisions on experience.

When the exact chemical composition of scrap—including the existence of contaminants or hazardous elements—is uncertain, it puts quality, safety, and regulatory compliance at risk. To help ensure fast, accurate alloy analysis in your scrap metal operations, rely on proven Thermo Scientific Niton Handheld X-ray fluorescence (HHXRF) analyzers.

Lightweight yet rugged Niton HHXRF analyzers perform non-destructive analysis of metals and alloys in seconds, with little to no sample preparation. For nearly 30 years, recycling yards have used these analyzers with confidence to verify elements in virtually all types of metal alloys, from trace levels to commercially pure metals, even between alloy grades that are nearly identical in composition.
