American Refining and Recycling LLC

Sell Converters

Transparent pricing and clear material guidelines for catalytic converter sellers, auto recyclers, and scrap professionals.

A wide, photographic realism shot of an immaculate catalytic converter refining facility interior featuring gleaming stainless steel processing tanks, covered conveyor systems, and sealed material hoppers. Pallets of shrink-wrapped catalytic converters are stacked in an orderly fashion along the walls, clearly labeled with printed tags. Bright, evenly distributed LED lighting from the high ceiling creates a clean, clinical atmosphere with minimal shadows, emphasizing safety and professionalism. The camera is positioned at eye level and uses a slightly wide-angle lens to capture depth and scale, with the central aisle leading the viewer’s eye toward advanced machinery in the distance. The mood is efficient, trustworthy, and modern, reflecting a top-tier American refining and recycling operation for catalytic converters.

Pricing

We base payouts on live metal markets, converter grading, assay results, and your shipment volume.

Standard Lot

Our catalytic converter pricing is built on transparent, market-driven formulas. We start by identifying and grading each unit, then estimate its recoverable platinum, palladium, and rhodium content. Those metal values are tied directly to current international spot prices at the time of purchase, not outdated charts. We also factor in batch size, material mix, and processing efficiency to maximize your net return. Every offer can be traced back to these inputs so you always know how your payout was calculated.

Bulk Partner

When you sell converters to American Refining and Recycling, your payout is based on real precious metal recovery, not guesswork. We track live metal markets daily and lock in your price against those quotes when your material is received or processed, depending on your program. Higher-grade units, clean cuts, and sorted lots earn stronger returns because they yield more metal and reduce refining loss. Shipping, refining, and assay costs are clearly itemized so you see the true value of your material. This data-driven approach ensures fair, consistent pricing from small lots to full truckloads.

Enterprise Program

For larger and repeat sellers, we offer assay-based settlement to capture the full value of your converters. Your load is sampled, analyzed in our lab, and paid on the precise ounces of platinum group metals recovered, minus clearly disclosed treatment charges. This method removes the risk of generic per-piece price lists that may underpay for rare or high-grade units. Lot size, diversity of part numbers, and contract terms can reduce fees and improve your per-unit return. Our team walks you through each step so you understand exactly how every dollar in your settlement is determined.

A highly detailed, photographic realism macro shot of a catalytic converter’s exposed ceramic honeycomb core, showing its precise hexagonal channels and subtle metallic sheen from precious metal coatings. The sample is positioned on a matte black laboratory surface, with neatly arranged stainless steel tools and a digital scale softly blurred in the background. Focused, cool white lab lighting from above highlights the intricate structure, creating delicate micro-shadows within each channel. Captured from a slightly angled close-up perspective with ultra-shallow depth of field, the front face of the honeycomb is razor sharp while the sides fall off into a smooth bokeh, conveying scientific rigor, material value, and the technical expertise of a specialized refining and recycling group.
