Hensel Recycling services

Approximately 95% of all catalytic converters worldwide are ceramic-based. They feature a reactive surface with a coating containing platinum, palladium or rhodium – valuable precious metals that we recover at the end of the recycling process. Maximum exploitation and avoidance of any residues are dependent on many crucial factors, all based on one single criterion – expertise. Professional expertise is essential, from an in-depth appreciation of the material, long-standing experience of the process flow, or technical know-how in the planning and setting up of a processing plant.

Entrust your metal foil converters to a good team. Our experts take care of your materials professionally. It makes no difference to us in which application they were active – vehicle, lawn mower or industrial plant. Recycling metal foil converters is a complex process and demands high technical standards. Our patented fully automated processing plants handle metal foil converters with the utmost efficiency. They carefully separate the steel shell and the carrier foil coated with precious metals. The powdered precious metal concentrate is then sampled and refined.

A key element of exhaust gas purification systems for diesel vehicles, the diesel particulate filter (DPF), eliminates approximately 90% of health-endangering particles. Over time non-combustible ash collects, causing clogging and the need for DPF replacement. When the diesel particulate filter is no longer effective, its disposal continues to be a subject of concern. We are well acquainted with its inner values and appreciate the worth of the precious metal coating. Like ceramic catalytic converters we take equally good care of your diesel particulate filters – leaving you with the best results possible.
