Precious metal refining
Competent advice
Heimerle + Meule attaches great importance to customer relations based on personal trust.Our experienced staff will be happy to advise you on all aspects of precious metal recycling. For example, we can show you how to reduce costs by optimising batch compositions, and we can inform you about packaging and transport regulations regarding hazardous materials consignments such as precious metal bearing solutions.
Detoxification and neutralisation
After recovering the precious metal, we are required by law to detoxify and neutralise electroplating baths, drag-out rinses and solutions. As a certified waste management facility and a specialist firm as defined in § 19i of the German Water Management Act, we guarantee environmentally- sound disposal of these solutions in our state-of-the-art waste water treatment plant.
Processing and settlement
Even before you send us your material, we can advise you on the cost and duration of the recovery process and thepurchase price. In the case offinancial settlements, youdecide the price fixing date. Alternatively, you can choose to receive the proceeds in the form of precious metal or semi-finished products. If you wish, we can credit the proceeds to your precious metal account, to which you have access at any time. A further option is to transfer precious metal to other precious metal processors.

considerable expertise in recovering precious metal from nonferrous and ferrous
stamping scrap and electroplating scrap.
We can arrange free collection from your premises. Where recovery is not
economically viable, we will pay you a fair scrap value. We can transfer copper
to your semi-finished-product supplier free of charge.
