Trust and security of the STEINERT brand, supplemented by Conservit's service offerings
Conservit Inc., a leading non-ferrous metal recycling company based in Hagerstown, Maryland (USA), has seen significant improvements in their plant's performance thanks to the implementation of STEINERT's separation equipment.
Sam Metzner, Vice President of Non-Ferrous Metals at Conservit, has praised the effectiveness of the STEINERT units, stating that the lifespan of the machines acquired in the early years has not yet been exhausted, indicating exceptional durability and longevity [1][2].
One of the key advantages of STEINERT's equipment is its ability to minimize downtime. In fragmentation stations and downstream processing separation plants, any downtime means economic loss. By reducing downtime, STEINERT's machines translate into significant operational and financial benefits for Conservit [1].
A benchmarking exercise revealed that Conservit's STEINERT-equipped plant outperformed a much larger competitor in recovering metallics from auto shredder residue. The exercise uncovered 4-12% metallic content that the competitor discarded, underscoring the superior recovery capabilities of STEINERT systems [2].
The partnership between Conservit and STEINERT has been instrumental in transforming Conservit from a small, outdated non-ferrous metal treatment plant into a successful one. Over the years, Conservit has continued to acquire more STEINERT machines, expanding their service offerings and gaining access to a growing domestic market for high-quality mixed shredded metals [1][3].
STEINERT provides quarterly performance assessments and responsive service, which Conservit cites as a crucial factor in sustaining optimal operation and continuous improvement. This relationship extends beyond equipment supply to strategic operational collaboration [2].
Recent models from STEINERT offer advanced features such as sorting up to 11 tons per hour with multi-spot LIBS analysis, sorting three products in one run, and enhanced sorting precision via dual valve bars. These features support Conservit's efficiency and product diversification [4].
Conservit's collaboration with STEINERT has opened up opportunities in the growing national market for high-quality mixed fragmented metals, according to Metzner. Metzner also appreciates the excellent level of customer service provided by STEINERT, which he finds "not very common these days."
Metzner asserts that Conservit has full confidence in STEINERT and in Ross Meadema, STEINERT's long-time contact person for Metzner and Conservit. Ross Meadema praises the excellent condition of Conservit's separation equipment.
Conservit Inc. has a progressive attitude within the non-ferrous metal recycling industry, focusing on technological advancements in separation. In 2021, Conservit acquired state-of-the-art separation machines from STEINERT to refine mixed metals from their non-ferrous metal plant.
In conclusion, STEINERT's equipment has enabled Conservit to modernize their plant from a smaller, outdated operation into a leading non-ferrous metal recycling facility with higher quality outputs, operational reliability, and market reach [1][2][3]. The combined impact involves technical excellence, economic benefits from enhanced recovery and uptime, and a strategic partnership that ensures continuous performance optimization [2].
The partnership with STEINERT has enabled Conservit to modernize their non-ferrous metal recycling facility, transforming it into a leading business in the industry. With the implementation of STEINERT's advanced technology, the company has experienced significant improvements in operational reliability and recovery rates, leading to economic benefits in finance and technology sectors.
By acquiring state-of-the-art separation machines from STEINERT, Conservit has focused on technological advancements in business, aiming for higher quality outputs and a growing market reach. This collaborative effort between Conservit and STEINERT in the finance, business, and technology sectors has opened up opportunities in the growing national market for high-quality mixed fragmented metals.
