Our Services
Various waste streams have the potential to become Urban Ore due to the presence of valuable materials within them. At Urban metals we help our customers to evaluate the content and recoverability of these materials.
1: Laboratory testing
Providing comprehensive gravity testwork, including material characterization and elemental analysis, as a basis for feasibility studies, flowsheet development or to investigate metal recovery potential.
Once a sample has been taken it can be processed in the laboratory of urban metals. We offer:
Particle size distribution analysis
Ferro metal content and removal
Sample crushing
Sample
splitting–Sample preparation
Evaluation of material response to gravity separation.
Metallurgical testing of material
Sampling consultancy
Ensuring accurate and representative samples through meticulous planning, precise execution, and collaborative sampling support tailored to your specific waste streams.
2: Engineering
Delivering full-scale engineering services from equipment selection to plant design and after-sales support, ensuring seamless integration and optimal performance of your metal recovery systems.
When sampling indicates that the material is in fact Urban Ore, building a processing plant is a logic next step. Urban metals helps customers, providing a full engineering solution. We offer:
-
Urban Metals assist in choosing the most suitable equipment and technologies for your specific needs, ensuring optimal performance and cost-effectiveness. We evaluates material properties and operational requirements to recommend the best components.
-
We develop customized flowsheets and modulate process behavior to achieve optimal performance. Where needed, field tests are conducted to validate designs, fine-tune parameters, and ensure maximum efficiency in real-world conditions.
-
We provide end-to-end plant design, integrating cutting-edge technologies to meet your production goals. Our designs focus on functionality, scalability, and sustainability to ensure long-term success.
-
We offer after-sales services, including technical support and training. Our goal is to maximize your plant's uptime and ensure seamless operations.
-
We evaluate your current plant's performance, identifying inefficiencies and recommending improvements. Our audits help optimize processes, reduce costs, and boost productivity.
3: Technology
Urban Metals utilizes advanced technologies to recover the most valuable metals from fine waste. Our solutions range from small-scale laboratory tests to large-scale installations, designed to create maximum value for our clients.
-
Sepro’s Falcon Gravity Concentrators are high G-force units designed to efficiently recover fine metal particles from waste streams, such as incineration bottom ash or shredded WEEE.
-
Wet shaking tables refine bottom ash and WEEE by separating materials by density. Water and shaking motion concentrate heavy metals for recycling, while lighter waste is washed away.
-
A slot separator, also known as a pinched sluicebox, refines bottom ash or WEEE by separating materials based on density. Its narrowing design channels heavier metals for collection while lighter waste is removed.
-
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
-
Fire assay and Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) are analytical techniques used to determine precious and base metals in samples like ores and recyclables. At Urban Metals we use these technologies to provide our customers insight in their waste streams.
