Read about our x-ray recycler's destruction process below.
"Grinding: Each lot is sent to the grinders to be chopped into ½“ particle flakes. It is at this point that the film becomes non-legible from HIPAA
perspective and we also take a five (5) point thief sample of the film in each box for assay. Each box is then re-weighed to get the actual net weights
of film for processing.
Lab Analysis: Each lot sample is taken to the lab and run through a riffler to get a composite sample for analysis of silver content. A retain sample will
be kept and can be sent out for any assay discrepancies.
Washing: The ground film is then put into one of four (4) washing vessels and mixed with caustic soda, hot water and other chemicals in batch form for
over one (1) hour. This removes the coatings and puts the silver into an emulsion state for further processing.
Rinsing: The washed product is then discharged through rinse lines and separators which will remove and separate the cleaned PET for further
recycling and send all the emulsions to large ten-thousand (10,000) gallon settling tanks. The cleaned PET is run through a dryer and shipped to
companies that recycle it for use in fabrics, carpets, etc.
Settling: The emulsion water mix is tested for PH and chemicals are added to maintain a proper PH balance. Once achieved, polymers are added to
precipitate the silver out the water is recycled several times to conserve water and also help the environment. The silver precipitate is then sent to a
filter press where further water is removed and the product becomes a silver cake and it is sent to a filter press for drying.
Roasting: The silver cake is then sent to our smelting facility where it is put into a Calciner for roasting. This process drives off impurities and any
excess water and the resulting product is a dried ash powder.
Smelting: The ash is loaded into the smelting furnace with reacting agents for smelting and after a few hours at nearly 2,000 degrees the raw silver is
poured into ingot molds for cooling. Once cool all silver is put into the vault for storage until we ship the product to our silver vendors".
