ReMelt Material and Revert Handling
ReMelt Scientific, a part of Retech, specializes in providing engineered solutions and equipment for material handling and system integration for of the input, output and revert streams in reactive and refractory, as well as light metal industry facilities. ReMelt has a wide range of experience processing metals such as aluminum, titanium, brass, bronze, nickel, stainless steel, and steel.

Titanium Chip Processing
Aqueous wash and melt prep systems to crush, wash, rinse, dry, and separate titanium chips.

Aluminum Scrap Processing
ReMelt is the world leader in recycling of internally generated scrap for the aluminum wheel industry.

Weigh & Blend Systems
Designed to weigh and blend various alloys, such as titanium chips, sponge, master alloys and others
ReMelt Material and Revert Handling Systems
Retech and ReMelt have been working alongside one another for decades, albeit on a less formal basis—consulting, collaborating, and subcontracting, and now ReMelt has become a part of Retech.
Our solutions chip collection & melt preparation solutions use the best products available for each particular installation. Every system is custom engineered to the specific needs of each and every project, ensuring that the best solution for each and every particular installation is met with focused attention to meet desired results.
Retech takes material handling, metal chip processing/treatment and melt preparation to a new level, maximizing metal yield rates and minimizing energy consumption, all while providing reliable heavy-duty systems that seamlessly integrate with customers’ existing processes.
Retech's Material and Revert Handling
Vacuum Arc Remelting (VAR) is a secondary melting process that is used to improve homogeneity in metal alloy ingots. This equipment can be used for reactive and refractory metals as well as high value steels.
Since 1963, Retech has enjoyed being a worldwide leader in the production of Vacuum Arc Remelt (VAR) furnaces configured for a range of capacities for producing ingots or castings, from a laboratory scale to many tons.
VAR is used for production of metal ingots that require high chemical and mechanical homogeneity. It is used on a variety of metals including various grades of stainless steel, alloy steel, titanium alloys, nickel superalloys, nitinol, zirconium, niobium, platinum, tantalum, and rhodium…among others.
Materials are processed in the VAR to remove or reduce contaminants and to allow the material to form the desired microstructure (grain structure) that will improve the performance in the desired application. Retech has primarily sold VAR equipment into the Titanium processing market so these materials would be titanium alloys. However, specialty steels often require VAR processing to increase the cleanliness and homogeneity of the ingots.
