Recycle Used Carbide Inserts - Milling, Turning & Indexable
Carbide Inserts Recycling for Machine Shops
Carbide inserts recycling is the best way for machine shops to turn worn tooling into a revenue stream. Recycling carbide inserts is necessary (especially for medium- to large-sized machine shops) to prevent rapid accumulation of worn carbide inserts.
Alnor Industries buys carbide inserts and round tooling from machine shops across Canada and the USA. Scrap carbide inserts, if not disposed of right away, end up in landfills. The problem with selling scrap carbide inserts to local scrapyards is that they treat them like general metal waste.
You end up getting paid way less than what your carbide insert scrap is worth. We used assay-based systems to offer the highest prices, proportionate to the amount of recoverable tungsten carbide.
