Screening process boosts recovery of stainless steel scrap
Campbellfield, VIC
ELG Recycling Processors introduced onsite screening to improve recovery of stainless steel fragments mixed through scrap and soil. Using a FlipScreen screening bucket, operators separated fines from valuable stainless pieces directly within the yard. The process exposed high-value metal that could be quickly collected and returned to the recycling stream.

Within large scrap recycling yards, handling equipment constantly moves material between stockpiles, shearing areas and transport bays. Over time this activity creates piles of fines containing soil, dust and small metal fragments. At ELG Recycling Processors, these fines occasionally contained valuable stainless steel pieces that had been missed during earlier sorting stages. Recovering them manually was slow and inconsistent, while sending the material offsite for further processing added cost. The team wanted a practical method to quickly separate small but valuable stainless fragments from the surrounding fines without interrupting normal yard operations.
Challenge
ELG Recycling Processors introduced a FlipScreen E80 to screen accumulated yard fines directly within the processing area. Using a loader, operators placed the mixed material into the screening bucket where the rotating drum allowed smaller soil particles to fall through the mesh. Stainless fragments and other metal pieces remained inside the bucket where they could be clearly identified and removed. The attachment could be moved between different areas of the yard, allowing operators to process fines wherever they accumulated. Mesh sizes could also be swapped to suit varying scrap conditions.
Solution
Once screening became part of routine yard cleanup, ELG Recycling Processors began recovering noticeably higher volumes of stainless steel that had previously been lost within fines. The recovered metal was returned to the appropriate recycling streams where it carried significantly higher value than mixed scrap. At the same time, screened soil and debris could be managed more efficiently within the yard. By revealing hidden metal fragments during normal material handling, the FlipScreen helped the company improve recovery rates while extracting additional value from material that had previously been overlooked.
