Output
Inert brass, lead & copper → our smelter
Record
Certificate of destruction, every lot

Loaded ammunition can’t go into a melt, so most recyclers won’t touch it. We built a furnace that does. Rounds are rendered inert first, then the metal is recovered and sent to our own smelter — one company from your dock to new metal, with a certificate of destruction for every lot.

Manufacturer rejects, importer overstock, agency surplus or a range’s sweepings bucket — if it’s small-arms ammunition that has to be destroyed, it comes to Houston.

// Demil Sequence

From your dock to new metal

OP-001

Separate

Loaded rounds are pulled from the mixed material, by hand and by process.

OP-002

Render Inert

Rounds go through our proprietary furnace — nothing live survives the step.

OP-003

Recover

Brass cases and the lead & copper of the projectiles are recovered.

OP-004

Document

Metal goes to our smelter; you get a certificate of destruction.

Safety Protocol

NOTHING LIVE IS EVER MELTED

Inerting happens before smelting — every time. It’s the reason we designed and built our own furnace, and why every lot leaves with a certificate of destruction.
