Scrap happy: Drill a path to eco-friendly profits bit by bit

Tungsten and Mining Scrap

For drilling professionals, the efficiency and longevity of drill bits are crucial to successful operations.

Yet, when those drill bits wear out, their disposal can pose a challenge to supply chains due to handling and transporting of hazardous drilling materials such as tungsten and nickel chrome alloys.

This is where Tungsten and Mining Scrap (TMS) managing director and ADIA member David Russell steps in, offering innovative and reliable recycling solutions as well as providing over 40 years of experience in recycling scrap materials.

This accredited Australian company ensures that your worn-out drill bits are recycled efficiently and effectively, providing value back to the industry it supports by conserving natural resources and lowering greenhouse gas emissions.

TMS specialises in acquiring a diverse array of metals, with a keen focus on tungsten, a crucial component in drill bits known for its exceptional hardness and durability.

Quick and transparent payments

One of the standout features of TMS’s service is their policy of upfront payments for large parcels.

For large parcels of 20t or more, TMS provides competitive quotes and pays upfront for the products it purchases.

For smaller companies or individual businesses, TMS can arrange authorised cash payments if required, otherwise, all transactions are completed via electronic funds transfer.

Comprehensive collection and logistics

TMS offers a vast range of services tailored to meet the diverse needs and locations of its clients in the drilling and mining industries.

The company provides certified site bins in various sizes, facilitating local, national and international buying and selling of scrap metal, and is equipped for portable radiation testing and hand-held XRF analyser testing.

Ensuring safety and quality

Safety and quality assurance are paramount at TMS, with the company complying with ISO 14001 for environmental standards and ISO 45001:2018 for occupational health and safety.

TMS adheres to rigorous quality standards to ensure the highest quality of recycled metals and has implemented strict controls and monitoring for quality and consistency, verify metal composition and purity, and maintain accurate records for traceability and transparency.

Innovations in testing and analysis

The company has also invested in advanced testing and analysis technologies, including XRF analyser testing which allows it to determine the exact composition of materials, ensuring accuracy and safety across operations.

The analyser can test whether the material is nickel alloy, manganese, monel, inconel 600, nickel 200 or hastelloy.

Sustainability and expansion

Sustainability is a core value at TMS and the company prides itself on supporting its clients’ targets and aims to be the leading provider of sustainable scrap metal solutions.

Looking ahead, the company has ambitious plans for expansion to Port Hedland, Papua New Guinea and New Zealand.
