Vortex becomes equipment supply partner for DR2

Additionally, following the successful rollout of the catalytic converter decanning and assaying trailer for DR2’s modular auto-cat recycling center (MARC), Vortex says it has designed an autocat decanning and dust collection system (Cat Guillotine) to install directly in yards to decan their own converters. 
 

“When our new guillotine is combined with the DR2 program, the return for those yards is considerable, with customers earning at least another $7.24 more revenue per cat compared to selling by the piece,” says Vortex CEO Nigel Dove.
 

DR2 says it will fund the majority of cost for the new decanning system. Yards producing between 45 and 500 catalytic converters per day will be eligible for the DR2 program, the company says. 
 

“Our new state of the art smelter recovers more platinum group metals, faster and more efficiently than any other smelter in the world,” says David Nichols, president of Duncan Recycling. “Our technological advantage coupled to our direct approach to supporting suppliers at the yard level ensures we are extremely competitive in the market, working with Vortex’s equipment just adds more value to that proposition.”
