Secondary Smelting, Refining, and Alloying of Nonferrous Metal (except Copper and Aluminum)
Secondary smelters, refiners and alloyers of nonferrous metals such as nickel, zinc, lead, tin and precious metals receive scrap, dross, spent catalysts and residues, melt them in furnaces, refine to specification and cast into ingots, shot or anodes. Specialists turn incoming material descriptions into melt schedules, furnace charges and test plans, track furnace logs and emissions paperwork, and convert assay results into certified shipments while the melt crew controls temperatures, slag and chemistry.
Specialist bots
- Intake and Sorting Coordinator: Turn every incoming scrap or residue shipment into a labeled, traceable lot ready for the melt schedule.
- Melt Campaign Planner: Convert open orders and available lots into a safe, efficient furnace campaign schedule.
- Charge and Alloy Calculator: Calculate precise charge weights, flux recipes and alloy additions to hit target chemistry.
- Refining and Chemistry Technician: Monitor each heat, log temperatures and samples, and recommend corrective additions to reach final specification.
- Casting and Shipment Coordinator: Turn approved heats into cast product instructions, labels and shipment documentation.
- Compliance and Emissions Clerk: Compile furnace logs, emissions data and permit records so the owner can meet all reporting requirements.
- Inventory and Reorder Steward: Maintain accurate lot-level inventory of raw materials, fluxes and finished metal while drafting reorder lists.
