  * 'Reverse Flow Melters' for remelting heavy scrap and sows with efficient heat exchange.

Mass Flow Decoater

Kiln based decoater** for UBC’s (delacquering) and fragmented scrap (drying, deoiling, delacquer). System produces bright, clean scrap through close control of temperature and oxygen levels. Process greatly increases yield and eliminates air pollution.
** Patents apply

Vortexer

Unique system to submerge UBC’s and fragmented scrap - dramatically improves yield by putting the feed material quickly below the surface of the molten aluminium, providing rapid melt rates and greatly reduced dross formation.

Vibratory Conveyor Feeder

Completely automatic bulk charging of fragmented scrap and UBC’s.

Continous Salt Feeder

Completely automatic bulk charging of fragmented scrap and UBC’s.

GPX are leading suppliers of the above equipment in the USA, and through Major the technology is now available to Australia, New Zealand, and the region.
