Ansam buys new and scrap non-ferrous metal, provides for the transportation of the materials to one of its two facilities and prepares the material for sale to a wide variety of customers. This preparation may involve one or more of the following processes: sorting, shearing, sawing, torching, shot blasting (cleaning), burning, granulating, briquetting, baling, and melting. Ansam is capable of precision sorting of alloys of copper, nickel, tin, lead, zinc, titanium and aluminum as well as brasses, bronzes, copper-nickels, nickel-silvers, monels, and high temperature alloys.

• Buying and processing new and scrap condenser tubing either "as is" or as contained in feedwater heaters, condensers, heat exchangers, MSRs (moisture separator reheaters), industrial air conditioners, etc. A complete list of the alloys purchased can be found here
• Processing oversize non-ferrous metals such as large fabrications, tanks, vessels, valves, and ship propellers. The Company's hydraulic saw, guillotine shear, plasma torches, and 30 ton travel lift are unique to a strictly non-ferrous operation.
• Buying and processing insulated copper and aluminum wire and cable scrap, including lead covered copper power cable. This cable is processed in the Baltimore facility with strict control of employee lead exposure by using cable strippers equipped with dust collectors with HEPA filters. Ansam operates an environmentally clean, state-of-the-art wire burning furnace which is complemented by a zero discharge water purification system.
