EXPERT AND SAMPLER FOR METALS- SCRAP METALS- RESIDUES and RECYCLING MATERIALS, publicly appointed and sworn by the Chamber of Industry and Commerce in Dortmund

SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS UNDER ONE ROOF

The basis for the work of members of this profession was established around 100 years ago, when the metallurgical works and the Association of German Metal Traders initiated the public swearing in of experts.

Our company is already in the fourth generation and guarantees proper sampling, expert examination and analyses.

Based on the extensive experience of our employees, who have been with the company for many years, we provide our customers with a reliable service and cater to their individual needs. The samplers and our laboratory technicians are trained at our own company. This enables a prompt and efficient implementation and processing of customer assignments. Analyzes are made in our own, independent laboratory.

Günther GmbH is a team of samplers and laboratory technicians with professional expertise.

Sampling

It is our task to sample and evaluate non-ferrous metals, alloyed steel, electronic scrap containing precious metals, residues and all other recycling materials.

Proper sampling and valuation is extremely significant because it cannot be repeated any number of times, as it is the case with sample analysis. This is why the right “mixture” of the sample is important!

The objective and purpose of sampling is to remove a representative quantity of a substance from the total quantity. This sample must deliver results that apply to the total quantity of the substance in terms of variables to be measured or evaluated.

As specialists, we assure reliable performance in accordance with the practices of the metal trade. We are competent representatives of the metal trade in the filed of sampling and analysis at smelting works. We also independently ascertain for contracting parties, vendors and purchasers.

metal content through sampling and analysis
moisture-, oil-, iron- contents and fine fractions
metal yield and -output
metal content through evaluation/ estimation
metal content through spectral analysis
precious metal determination by ICP

Our portfolio of services also includes expert opinions in respect of

sampling at a contractually stipulated location, such as a port or warehouse
ascertaining the quality of materials with binding conclusions
physical audits within the scope of inventory taking

Analysis

Our chemical-metallurgical laboratory has also been available for decades as a reliable partner to members of the trade.

Our service includes the:

chemical analysis of metals and metal alloys
chemical analysis of residues, such as ashes, dross, slag,dust, sludge and catalysers
precious metal analysis with docimastic preparation
spectral analysis
eluate and hazardous goods analysis
determination of moisture and burning loss
mechanical processing and melting of samples for the analysis

Analysis of samples that are sent in, exchange analysis and arbitrational analysis are performed at our own laboratory. We also perform informative analysis as required, which assist us in the proper and precise implementation of sampling.
