Did you know that carbon brush dust can be more valuable than the brushes themselves?
If your wind turbines or generators have brush-dust trays or collection systems, we will buy:
Brush dust from slip rings
Filters and cartridges that collect conductive dust
Bagged dust from dust-extraction systems
These materials often contain recoverable silver, copper, and tin, and we’ll provide a free analysis and fast quote for your collected dust or filters.
