G.A. RITTENHOUSE
Structural steel, plate, cast iron and machine bases — from plant teardowns, structural clean-out and end-of-life equipment.
Windings, bus bar, cable, fittings, brass and bronze. The highest-volume non-ferrous stream out of our own asset recovery work.
Extrusion, castings, sheet and wheels from manufacturing and transport.
Ballast, shielding and industrial lead. Handled under controlled conditions.
Nickel and cobalt-based superalloys and titanium — from turbine sections, downhole tooling and defense articles.
We do not require prepared scrap. If it is still installed, that is a removal question, not a reason for us to pass.
Owning the furnace is the whole argument, so it is worth saying what the furnace is. Feed is routed by what the lot actually is, not by what is free that morning.
Coreless induction for tight-chemistry and high-value work. Fast to temperature with minimal atmosphere contact, which is what holding an alloy to a specification actually requires.
Tilting rotary for heavier, dirtier and mixed feed — material still carrying oxide, coating or attached hardware, which is most of what comes off a live teardown.
Smaller batch work: short runs, trial blends, and lots too small to justify a main-furnace heat.
Material crosses a certified scale on arrival and the ticket goes to you. This is the number every later figure is built on, so it is the one we document first.
Streams are separated before they are charged. Mixed feed melts to a mixed result, and a mixed result is worth less than the sum of what went in.
Lot goes to the furnace that suits it. Charge order matters as much as charge content when the target is a specification rather than a commodity.
A sample goes to an independent laboratory. We do not certify our own chemistry — we are the interested party, and a self-issued certificate is not worth the paper.
Ingot, bar, sow or pig, depending on what the receiving operation charges.
Rigging, hauling and freight are ours, not a broker’s. One counterparty from the weighbridge to the delivery.
We buy the whole asset — loose, prepared or still bolted down. Because we own the melt, there is always a floor under the offer, and we can price it on the day rather than after finding a buyer. See what we take.
Keep title to your metal and pay a fee to have it run and returned as ingot. Right call for known chemistries, proprietary blends and high-value alloy. How tolling works.
If you need metal rather than a home for it, we pour commodity ingot and blend custom alloy to written specification. What we pour.
A broker has to find a buyer before quoting you. We do not. Whatever does not resell has a melt value we can price on the day.
Removal, transport, resale and melt sit under one roof. You are not managing a rigger, a dealer and a scrap yard separately.
Equipment that cannot be re-sold is not landfilled. It is re-melted into new metal product.
