The Crossbelt Metal Analyzer will provide Metal Management with the ability to predict residual levels of copper, nickel, and chrome in scrap material.

 

Daniel Dienst, chairman and CEO of Metal Management, Inc., noted, "The installation of the Crossbelt Metal Analyzer further enhances the leadership position of Metal Management as the preeminent supplier of scrap iron units to the North American steel industry. The Crossbelt Metal Analyzer will enable Metal Management to provide our consumers specific analysis of the metallic components of our scrap metals product. Steel manufacturers are exacting customers. It is one thing to speak of a desire to be an extension of their manufacturing process - it is another to make this type of a technological commitment to the relationship. Through this investment and contemplated additional future investments, we intend to raise the quality bar for ourselves and our industry."
