Settlement tanks are a must in a busy workshop, especially when dealing with Gold, Platinum and Palladium. If you wash your hands and jewellery in the sink in your workshop, then having a settlement tank installed will make sure that all the small precious metal particles are captured and not lost down the drain!
A win for you and a Win for the Ocean 🌊

DON’T FORGET TO VACUUM YOUR CARPETS! 🧹
Precious metal dust is heavy, meaning it settles onto the floor and can easily be walked around your workshop — and even outside — without you realising it. Vacuum your workshop daily and keep all vacuum bags, as they can contain valuable recoverable metal.
Using carpet mats or tiles around your benches helps trap dust and filings efficiently, making reclamation easier.
Never throw away old workshop carpets or mats either — if possible, cut them up and place them straight into your Mastermelt sweep bag.
Every particle counts 💲

Cleaning or changing out the filter bags on your dust extraction unit can be extreamly beneficial, not only making you run more efficiently but you can reap the rewards from the precious metal in the 'dust'.

No matter the size of your setup, we recommend changing your filter bags at least once a year to keep your extraction working efficiently and capturing valuable polishing dust.

And remember — you don’t need a huge system. Even a small vacuum cleaner can collect surprising amounts of precious metal over time 💰

Get in touch if you have an extraction unit that needs cleaning or filters changing, as we can help with this [email protected]

🚫 Do NOT put these in your jewellery workshop sweep bag:
• Plastics & packaging (gloves, plastic bags, wrappers, cling film)
• Steel or base metals (iron, screws, tools, staples, pins)
• Large solid metal pieces (these should be separated and sent as scrap)
• Chemicals & liquids (acids, solutions, pickle, oils, solvents)
• Electronic waste (circuit boards, wires, batteries)
• Food waste or organic material (paper towels with food, coffee cups, etc.)
• General rubbish (dustpan waste not related to bench work)
• Sharps or hazardous items (blades, needles, broken glass)
• Aerosols or pressurised containers
• Excessive non-metal materials (rubber, foam, large amounts of cloth)

✅ Rule of thumb:
If it doesn’t contain precious metal dust or come directly from bench work (filing, polishing, soldering, etc.), it probably shouldn’t go in your sweep bag.

The safest way to recover any dust from them is to wipe them down with a wet wipe and add that to your sweep bag 🧻

Keeping your sweeps clean ensures safer handling, more accurate processing, and better returns.

If you're ever unsure of what to add to you sweep, drop us a DM or contact a member of the team [email protected]
