Conservit Inc. and STEINERT: A Long-Standing Partnership in Metal Recycling
Conservit Inc., a Maryland-based metals recycling company with over 50 years of experience, has maintained a long-term partnership with STEINERT, a company that provides sorting and technological equipment. This partnership, spanning several decades, has been instrumental in Conservit's success in the metals recycling industry.
The relationship between the two companies is built on mutual trust and consistent performance. According to Sam Metzner, Vice President-Nonferrous at Conservit, STEINERT's equipment has been running effectively since its installation, and the lifespans of the early STEINERT machines acquired by Conservit have not been surpassed.
Metzner appreciates the communication between Conservit and STEINERT, stating that it provides quick and effective solutions when issues arise. He also praises Ross Meadema, a long-time contact for both companies, for his role in maintaining this partnership. Meadema is highly regarded for his praise of Conservit's maintenance and operation of STEINERT sorting devices.
The partnership has led to significant improvements in Conservit's nonferrous sorting plant. Initially an outdated facility, it has been transformed into a modern and successful operation thanks to the addition of STEINERT machines. Conservit has continued to add more STEINERT machines to its operations over the years due to their performance and recovery rates.
In 2021, Conservit added high-end sorting machines from STEINERT to refine mixed metals from its nonferrous plant. This investment in advanced equipment has enabled Conservit to deliver exceptional high-quality output while maximizing operational efficiency in waste sorting and metal processing.
STEINERT was selected for the purchase based on cost, performance, and quality of equipment. The test revealed that the operator was discarding 4-12 percent metallics, even though they had nearly twice the number of sorting devices compared to Conservit. This underscores the superiority of STEINERT's technology in the metals recycling industry.
The collaboration between Conservit and STEINERT has also provided greater access to the domestic market for high-grade mixed shredded metals. Any downtime at shredder yards and downstream sorting plants can result in financial loss, but the ruggedness of STEINERT equipment helps reduce such downtime, according to Metzner.
As the scrap and recycling industries evolve with technological and regulatory pressures, relationships like Conservit's with STEINERT demonstrate how crucial trustworthy, reliable sorting equipment is amid broader digital transitions in the industry. STEINERT’s technology helps Conservit adapt while sustaining the quality and efficiency of their metal sorting and recovery processes.
In summary, Conservit’s long-term relationship with STEINERT is founded on mutual commitment to reliable, innovative sorting technology that drives high-quality metal recycling and operational excellence, supporting sustainability goals and business growth over decades.
In the context of their long-standing partnership, Conservit Inc., a leading metals recycling company, has leveraged STEINERT's technology and finance, integrating advanced sorting machines into their operations to optimize performance and recovery rates. The collaboration has enabled Conservit to deliver high-quality output, maximize operational efficiency, and adapt to technological advancements in the ever-evolving scrap and recycling industries.
