It has been our experience that many aluminium manufacturers and sites that generate hot dross view it merely as a byproduct or waste which needs to be disposed. After all, it is not the finished aluminium product within the company — just let someone else handle it, right?

This is where the difference between two companies can be significant. The main reason why Sanshin’s customer base makes up over 85% of the Japanese domestic market for aluminium dross processing is simple – the customer is in full control of their metal:

1.  Immediately recover aluminium metal after raking it from the furnace – no waiting to cool down first.
2.  Recover over 90% of the contained metal content within the dross.
3.  Reuse the recovered metal back into production.
4.  Research and maximize opportunities to take full control of residual dross (leftover dross/oxides after metal recovery).
