Use optimized cutting data for a longer tool life
Before recycling, it is essential to make as good use as possible of our carbide products. To make the best use of these tools please make sure you use the correct cutting data.
Also ensure the best possible tool set-up for optimized tool life. When fully used the tool can be recycled. For many of our tools, reconditioning is also a cost-effective and sustainable approach.
Protecting our planet
Reduces its impact on the environment by recycling used materials. The powder created by the recycling process has the same properties and qualities as virgin powder. By recycling, we can prolong the time before the resources are at an end, as well as reduce energy consumption by approximately 30% and carbon emissions by approximately 40%.
We strive to deliver winning solutions that encourage a safer workplace, support sustainable processes, and generate a return for the customer while safeguarding our planet for the next generation of manufacturers.
