Cemented carbide and tungsten purchasing for industrial companies
One-off inventory clearances, regular production waste and technically complex materials. We tailor cooperation to the customer's actual material flow.
Toolrooms and engineering companies
SK/VBD inserts, drills, end mills, brazed tools, WNi chips and other production residues.
Rolling mills and wire plants
Morgan Rolls, drawing dies, dies, guide parts and worn carbide components.
Mining, drilling and road milling
Road bits, mining bits, drilling heads and large composite assemblies.
Hard scrap and soft scrap
Non-conforming parts, semi-finished products, press scrap, powders, sludges, filters, filter cartridges and chips from carbide tool manufacturing.
Vacuum metallisation
Tungsten coils, wires, baskets and evaporation elements.
WNi and tungsten alloys
Heavy alloys, pieces, offcuts, crushed fractions and machining chips.
From a one-off delivery to a regular material flow
You do not need to adapt your material to a universal purchasing model. We agree the acceptance method according to the nature of your operation.
One-off purchase
Clearance of inventory stock, discarded tools or technological assemblies.
Regular collection
Recurring production waste and materials generated during operation.
Reprocessing
Separation, cleaning or size reduction of material as a standalone service.
Individual arrangement
Solutions for larger or complex flows according to material, quantity and logistics.
Why sorting, cleanliness and carbide separation from the carrier matter
Industrial tungsten recycling is not a single universal process. Technical literature distinguishes direct recycling, chemical (indirect) recycling, semi-direct routes and smelting metallurgy. The choice of subsequent processing depends primarily on waste form, cleanliness, composition and degree of contamination.
Solid sintered cemented carbide
SK/VBD inserts, solid-carbide drills and end mills, drawing dies, dies, wear parts and other solid WC-Co components. Well-sorted and clean material creates better conditions for efficient downstream recycling.
Sludges, dusts, chips and powders
Fine production waste requires a different assessment. In industrial recycling chains, chemical conversion routes are often used for soft scrap and can also handle more complex inputs.
Carbide + steel + brazing alloy
For milling picks, mining tools and brazed parts, pre-processing is a key step: dismantling, steel separation, removal of brazing alloy and concentration of the valuable carbide fraction.
From waste to secondary raw material
Technical sources note that tungsten can be lost mainly through wear, dilution in another metal stream or disposal without separation. It therefore makes sense to capture tungsten-bearing material at the source, identify it correctly and separate it from steel or other carriers.
