Patents

Our first patent relates to the methodology for sorting production offcuts – chips, pieces, (stainless steels and titanium) – by grade.

This inventive process describes the phases required for 100% recycling of machined parts, which generates waste to be processed in a specifically designed short-circuit chain.

The processing of this ‘raw material’ through recycling has been the subject of five years’ development to master the requirements for eco-responsible transformation.

Using a concentrated solar furnace specially developed for industrial production in our latitudes, primary melting in a solar reactor (also patented) is achieved by capturing sunlight and transforming it into heat.

This process, initially dedicated to watchmaking and medical applications, required us to eliminate  slag in a controlled atmosphere.

The inclusionary cleanliness required by anti-allergen and bio-compatible certifications enabled us to subsequently produce simpler alloys for customized needs.

To check repeatability, we tested polishability and machinability by successively recycling the same material eight times without loss of performance.
