Worn bucket teeth, carbide wear plates, mill liners and workshop tooling from mine sites, quarries, ports and civil plant fleets across WA, from a single change-out through to a full shutdown clear-out. Each load is sorted by alloy at the Malaga yard and priced on what it’s made of.
GET and carbide wear parts · WA Bucket teeth, mill liners and carbide wear plates come off heavy plant looking like ordinary steel, and a general scrap yard often prices the lot the same way: by weight, mixed. Plant maintenance turns out more high-value alloy than the tonnage suggests: tungsten carbide in wear plates and HPGR studs, manganese and chrome alloy in liners and jaw plates, all riding inside what looks like one steel stream.
We sort every batch by alloy family before it’s priced, so carbide wear parts, manganese liners and plain wear steel each get valued on what they are, not lumped into one mixed rate. This matters most at a mill reline or a shutdown change-out, when months of worn liners, teeth and wear plates come off in one go and the difference between a mixed rate and a sorted one adds up across the whole load.
Carbide wear plates and HPGR studs are priced the same way as tungsten carbide drill string, on tungsten content and condition against the same reference. A full reline or shutdown clear-out is usually a job for site cleanups and laydown clearances rather than a single bin, and fixed plant crews working alongside a mining operation often run both streams through the same gate.
Whether a bin sits on the ground ahead of a change-out is decided case by case, weighing the relationship, site, material and expected weight, and bins are generally set up for repeat maintenance accounts rather than a single clear-out. The bin moves on your existing backload; we don’t run a skip truck to pick it up. A yard walkthrough before a reline or shutdown is free but needs to be booked, since the team isn’t always at Malaga.
A quotation on a reline or shutdown-scale load carries its own expiry, generally 24 or 72 hours depending on the material and market, so it’s worth asking close to the change-out window rather than weeks ahead. Once weight and grading are confirmed, payment is arranged by EFT, though material still being sorted takes longer to settle.
GET and carbide wear parts · WA Ground engaging tools, carbide wear parts, crusher liners and workshop tooling stay in separate material streams before pricing.
Whether it’s a single wear plate or a full mill reline, the sequence is the same.
Whether it’s one wear plate or a full mill reline, every load follows the same weighing, sorting, documentation and settlement process at Malaga.
Every load is weighed on scale at Malaga before it’s priced, so the figure you’re paid on matches the docket.
GET, carbide wear parts and mill liners are separated and assessed by alloy family before any price is set.
A batch record travels with every load, useful alongside your own maintenance and shutdown record-keeping.
No cost for the bin, no cost for the freight. The bin travels back to us on an existing backload rather than freight we charge for, useful when a change-out needs a bin on the ground fast.
Recovering carbide, manganese and other wear-part alloys keeps their value in circulation. Furberg, Arvidsson and Molander, writing in the Journal of Cleaner Production 209 (2019), found recycling metal cuts environmental impacts by 22 to 100 percent depending on the category assessed.
Every collection comes with weight and recovery documentation, and the batch record lists weight, grade and destination for that load. It’s useful paperwork to sit behind your own maintenance and shutdown reporting, without your team having to build that record itself, especially when parts move off multiple sites in the same week.
Reline, shutdown or change-out coming up? Send photos of the wear parts on site and we’ll give you an indicative view of what they’re worth, including how the free bin works.
