We invite you to visit and observe the processing of any of your materials first
hand. Our facilities are designed so that you may safely "represent" their handling
and processing. As prime refiners of precious metals only we can make this offer.

Burning... is a preliminary process for
polishing, dust and sweepings. To properly
burn these materials with the most efficiency, the roasting
temperature range must be controlled to between 500°F and
900°F. Slow burning guarantees keeping 100% of the ash in pans.
|
|
|
 |
|
 |
|
|
Crushing... or pulverization is the second step
for materials not ready for the smelter. These materials are crushed
in various sized and specially designed crushers. Inside you will find
steel munitions and rods to help in the process.
|

|
 |
|
 |
|
|
Sifting... is the next step. After crushing, the sweeps are
treated to our sifters to remove unwanted coarses. Different size screens are
used while the siffer vibrates and forces the fine materials down through
gravity. Kristine is our work horse, loud but very efficient.

Mixing... To ensure a proper sweeps sample for
analysis, we use a "V Blender" to mix the "Fines" extracted
from our sifter. Once all the steps above are taken, the material
is sampled and sent to our laboratory for assaying. Note that we even
have a mini-blender for those small lots of 5 and 10lbs are also processed.
