Where Alloy Scrap Comes From in Coimbatore
Coimbatore is a major centre of pump and motor manufacturing, with a large foundry base and many machine shops serving the textile machinery and engineering trades. Scrap from these industries comes in recognisable forms:
- Pump and valve manufacturing: Ni-Resist, Monel and duplex castings, impellers and rejected parts.
- Foundries: runners, risers and rejected castings in nickel-bearing iron and alloy.
- Machine shops: turnings and worn tungsten carbide inserts, and Stellite-faced parts from valve work.
We do not name the companies we buy from; lots are described by grade, form and evidence.
