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.

Equipment and plant we clear

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.

Processing lines

Mixers, homogenisers, pasteurisers, kettles, cookers and CIP systems.

Filling and packaging

Fillers, cappers, seamers, labellers, case packers and palletisers. Typically the highest resale value on site.

Stainless tanks and vessels

Storage, mixing and fermentation tanks. Resold whole where practical, melted where not.

Refrigeration and utilities

Chillers, compressors, ammonia plant, boilers and air systems.

Material handling

Conveyors, elevators, sorters and warehouse racking.

Whole-plant closeout

Inventory, valuation, sale coordination and clearance to an agreed condition.

What the work looks like

Stainless vessels inventoried before disposition
Packaging hall ahead of clearance

Three things decide the number

What resells versus what melts

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.

Metal content

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.

Removal and freight

Rigging, hauling and permits are ours. On remote or constrained sites this decides more of the economics than the equipment does.

We work across heavy industry

Most closures cut across more than one of these. All industries we serve.
