Partnering with Aerospace Manufacturers
The Amlon Group collaborates with aerospace manufacturers and their customers to implement forward-thinking waste management practices that embody our vision of converting environmental obstacles into sustainable advantages.
INDUSTRY CHALLENGES
The aerospace manufacturing sector and its customers generate complex waste streams requiring specialized handling, particularly from turbine engine production, superalloy processing, advanced composite manufacturing, and from the decommission of systems. Our integrated approach addresses these challenges.
Superalloy Component Recovery
We specialize in recovering valuable metals from aerospace manufacturing waste streams:
- Turbine Blade Processing: Complete recovery of nickel, cobalt, and chromium from spent turbine blades and stators through advanced pyrometallurgical techniques
- Guide Vane Reclamation: Specialized processing of high-temperature guide vanes to extract rhenium, tungsten, and other critical superalloy constituents
- Inconel and Hastelloy Recovery: Expert handling of exotic nickel-based superalloys with recovery rates exceeding industry standards
Manufactured Equipment Processing
Our facilities process end-of-life equipment from aerospace operations:
- Spent Tooling and Fixtures: Comprehensive recycling of carbide cutting tools and tungsten-based tooling systems used in aerospace machining
- Coating Booth Residues: Processing of thermal barrier coating overspray containing yttria-stabilized zirconia and bond coat materials
- Furnace Components: Recovery of valuable metals from high-temperature furnace linings and processing equipment containing platinum group metals
- Systems Decommission: Processing for complete destruction of decommissioned systems and components with digital tracking and certification.
