Since 1985 the factory is located at Zwettestraat 34 in Leeuwarden. The annual production amounts to more than 60,000 tonnes. Since 1985, more than 1 million tonnes of can scrap has been recycled into pure steel and tin.
The NOF is ISO 9001 certified and has the MRF quality mark.
The delivery of tinplate is 65% per truck and 35% per ship. The incoming tinplate scrap is unloaded at the collection point, after which they are mixed with a crane to form a homogeneous fraction.
2. Electrolysis
The tinplate fraction is then pressed into tinplate bales. The weight of the timplate bales can vary between 175 and 250 kg (depending on customer requirements).
3. Tin press
The cathode plates are scraped at the tin press. The tin is collected in a container and subsequently then pressed into discs.
4. The result
Two finished products are produced: steel packages and tin discs. De tinschijven vinden hun weg naar diverse afnemers in Europa. Zij raffineren het tin tot een zuiverheid van 99,99%.
