G.A. RITTENHOUSE
The plant decommissioning and asset recovery division of G.A. Rittenhouse’s furnace operations. Equipment we recover that cannot be re-sold is melted into new metal — which is why we can price work other contractors walk away from.
Food and beverage plants are the strongest resale market we handle. The stainless is worth real money as metal, but the fillers, seamers and packaging lines are worth far more running — and there is a global buyer base for them that most demolition contractors have no access to.
Mixers, homogenisers, pasteurisers, kettles, cookers and CIP systems.
Fillers, cappers, seamers, labellers, case packers and palletisers. Typically the highest resale value on site.
Storage, mixing and fermentation tanks. Resold whole where practical, melted where not.
Chillers, compressors, ammonia plant, boilers and air systems.
Conveyors, elevators, sorters and warehouse racking.
Inventory, valuation, sale coordination and clearance to an agreed condition.
Equipment with a working second life is worth more running than poured, and we will tell you which is which rather than quietly melting the difference. Why that gap is so wide.
We own the furnaces, so recovered metal has a floor price we can quote on the day instead of after finding a buyer. How the melt side works.
Rigging, hauling and permits are ours. On remote or constrained sites this decides more of the economics than the equipment does.
Most closures cut across more than one of these. All industries we serve.
The resale market for food and beverage equipment is deep. Let us tell you what is worth selling before anything is scrapped.
