North Texas Shredding Excited to be a part of ISRI

We are primarily in the business of processing and selling Shredded Aluminum (Twitch) and aluminum auto cast. We have set up a downstream process that is very specialized. First, we run our zorba through a series of magnets, high frequency eddy currents and X-ray technology to remove the impurities and heavies, which creates what the industry knows as “Twitch.”

Uncovering the Benefits of Twitch for Aluminum Recycling

Economic Benefits of Using Twitch

Twitch is a metal scrap derived from wet or dry media separation devices such as X-TRACT units or other methods. Learn Twitch basics here. Twitch is sought after due to its low magnesium content and ability to be recycled. Available sorting technologies have revolutionized purity levels and chemistry results- but not all Twitch is equal.

What is Twitch, and How Does it Impact the Aluminum Market?

It’s all in the chemistry.

Not all Twitch is created equal. By specification, Twitch is produced by a method of sorting Zorba stock. This method involves sorting scrap aluminum into different grades. Once sorted, Twitch can be melted down to create new alloys for production or re-processing. North Texas Shedding (NTXS) high-grade aluminum Twitch is an example of this innovation.
