End-to-End Processing and Refining

Our capabilities

Tin Tech operates an innovative facility that ensures high yields and also provides the flexibility to accommodate a range of different material.

We operate multiple sweat furnaces for initial metal recovery and paste melting, a rotary furnace for smelting and reducing oxides, and refining kettles that give us the ability to extract trace levels of contaminants that may remain. Daily melt capacity exceeds 100,000 lbs.

The proper treatment of oils, fluxes, paints, steel, plastics and other debris make Tin Tech uniquely positioned to handle virtually all forms of tin scrap generated in North America.

How we operate

In the lab, our analytical equipment includes a Bruker Tasman Spectrometer for Optical Emmission Spectroscopy. In the plant, we use a Niton XRF analyzer for quick identification and quality control.

During production, we maintain superior air quality throughout the facility as a result of our custom designed Donaldson Torit 40,000 CFM air-handling unit. This system, along with the rest of the entire facility, is independently backed up by diesel generator power to maintain the highest environmental and workplace standards.

Our team welcomes the opportunity to work together to improve your scrap process and achieve the highest recovery.

About us

Tin Technology & Refining, LLC began operations in 2014 in West Chester, PA as the recycling division of Nathan Trotter & Co., Inc., a leader in the tin and solder business for 235 years. After 10 years and thousands of tons of processed material, Tin Tech remains focused on being the most versatile and reliable option for solder recycling in North America.

Whether our customers are in the electronics, industrial, chemical, or automotive industries, the common thread is their use of tin and the eventual generation of tin scrap. While Nathan Trotter supplies tin and solder in bar and wire form to its customers, Tin Tech has the ability to offer these same customers maximum value for their scrap and ultimately convert the metal units back into high quality raw material.
