The Next Generation Scrap Metal Analyser from Oxford Instruments

The X-MET7500 Scrap Metal Analyser is a rapid, reliable and cost-effective handheld X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) analyser widely used across the non-destructive testing (NDT) industry. Handheld XRF analysers, often referred to as 'X-ray guns' are used within the scrap metal industry to achieve the most consistent analysis results helping secure the best price for incoming and outgoing scrap material. 

The X-MET7500 measures the key elements in a range of metal alloys including Stainless, Tool and Low Alloy Steels, Nickel, Titanium, Copper, Cobalt and Aluminium alloys by placing the X-MET against the alloy, pulling the trigger and after a few seconds the chemical composition and alloy grade is displayed. 

This allows optimum scrap metal recycling and scrap sorting to be performed with ease and confidence.

You've heard the saying one person's trash is another person's treasure, but one person's scrap metal, another person's . . . art?

It may not look like your typical art gallery, but the entrance way to John Zubick Ltd. Scrap Metal on Clarke Road is lined with sculptures.

A giant praying mantis, a spider and a bumble bee all twisted out of steel sit on towers above the fence surrounding Zubick's. Over to the left a giant squid with rusted chain-link tentacles sits beside a large koi fish.

The sculptures were created by Fanshawe College fine arts students as part of a program the college runs with Zubick's scrap metal.

Food for thought :-)
