Advanced Processing Techniques
At Morecambe Metals, we leverage over 35 years of industry expertise to deliver modern non-ferrous metal processing. Operating from our dedicated facility, we specialise in transforming mixed commercial scrap, complex waste streams, and shredder residue into premium, high-purity secondary raw materials for the global metallurgy industry.
Our advanced processing techniques ensure that foundries, smelters, and manufacturers receive exact-grade, furnace-ready feeds that meet strict industry specifications.
Industrial-Scale Sorting & Separation
Achieving the recovery of high-quality non-ferrous grades from complex industrial waste streams demands significant processing power and accuracy. Our facility meets this demand, starting with a heavy-duty, 1250-horsepower fragmentiser that efficiently breaks down large-scale material.
Following shredding, the more challenging phase involves extracting valuable non-ferrous metals like aluminium, copper, and brass from the resulting residue. To ensure highly concentrated streams of non-ferrous material and achieve maximum recovery rates, we process this residue using specialised separation technology, with our advanced Eddy Current Separator being a critical component. This maximises the commercial value of the recovered material and significantly reduces waste destined for landfill.

Precision Grading & Spectrometer Technology
Our non-ferrous processing division avoids visual identification for complex materials, instead using a modern optical emission spectrometer for strict quality control. This specialised equipment thoroughly tests and analyses unknown or specialist alloys, including complex aluminium, copper derivatives, and nickel-based materials. By ionising a small alloy sample and measuring ion deflection to calculate the mass-to-charge ratio, we reveal the metal’s exact elemental make-up. This scientific approach ensures accurate alloy grading, guarantees absolute purity for our B2B buyers, and routes materials into the correct recycling streams.
Supplying Furnace-Ready & Smelter-Ready Feeds
The ultimate goal of our non-ferrous processing operation is to supply high-density, high-purity secondary raw materials that are ready for immediate use.
Once sorted, separated, and tested, our non-ferrous grades are mechanically processed, consolidated, and, where necessary, passed through our robust shearing machinery to meet the exact size and density requirements of our end-users. By providing smelter-ready and furnace-ready feeds, we help global manufacturers reduce their reliance on primary raw ore, lowering carbon emissions and supporting a sustainable circular economy.
