Company

METALCOOP is a limited liability cooperative company, founded on the 30th October 2012. It is active in the sector of collection, storage, treatment and recycling of special and not hazardous waste, mostly made of ferrous and non-ferrous metal scraps. The industrial unit, 47.000 sqm wide, out of which 10.000 are roof covered, is located within the Industrial area of Marcianise Sud, Caserta province, and can be easily reached by car through A1 Highway, Caserta Sud exit.

The company took over the activity from an old operator already working within the same industrial site. The reemployment of the same staff has allowed to base the activity on an already consolidated skill and experience avoiding the loss of an important background for the current management and the future development.

The aim of our activity is the maximum possible recycling of the treated materials.

Eventual volumetric reduction

The materials that pass the selection process can be subjected to a volumetric reduction through a pressure process aimed at improving the sell opportunity or making easier the hoven load when these materials must be turned into ingots.

Receipt preparation

This is the most important part of the whole process because, according to the final alloy we have to produce, we need to prepare the right quality and quantity of aluminium.

Melting process

The prepared materials are loaded, in a certain time limit, into two melting hoven, fed with methane gas,  that reach 800-850° C that is the temperature needed for the melting of aluminium materials.

The liquid material is poured in a stand-by hoven that has a 10 tonne capacity and where the liquid is subjected to a superficial cleaning and degassing operations that make it more homogeneous.

Grading

The processes of grading and selection of the incoming waste materials are performed by skilled workers able to select the different kinds of aluminium (carter, section bar, crockery, terse) and scraps made of several materials.

Some of these ones, like iron, can be recycled; other ones like paper, cardboard, rags, tyres, plastic or others are destined to the disposal process.

The reemployment of the same staff has allowed to base the activity on an already consolidated skill and experience avoiding the loss of an important background for the current management and the future development.
