SHIELD CLEANING

The Challenge

Precious metals are often lost as a result of internal manufacturing processes as metals can adhere to chamber shields or become by-products or scrap. The challenge is to recover the greatest amount of precious metal feasible from shields in order to decrease total cost-of-production. This requires a trusted service partner with the technical capabilities to provide high-value metal recovery services while minimizing manufacturing downtime.
