Secure Silver Recovery from Expired X-Ray Film
Turn obsolete medical radiology records and industrial NDT film archives into immediate revenue. We offer certified chemical silver extraction, high payout rates, and 100% HIPAA-compliant data destruction for hospitals, clinics, and inspection labs across Riyadh.
Silver Refiners
Why are old X-Rays valuable?
Traditional analog radiograph films contain an outer gelatin layer embedded with microscopic silver halide crystals. When processed chemically at our refinery, this high-grade silver can be extracted, purified, and redirected into the global technical supply chain.
We track the daily London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) silver spot index, ensuring your medical facility or testing lab gets an exact, transparent yield evaluation for your obsolete storage archives.
100% Secure Data Destruction.
Medical records contain protected health information (PHI). Tossing them into standard waste bins is a catastrophic breach of patient privacy laws. Our operational protocols isolate data exposure entirely.
Medical Radiology Film Scrap.
Bulk archive purging for healthcare compounds, ministries, and imaging clinics.
Hospital Radiology Archives
Massive storage vault clearances of expired patient sheets (typically kept for 5-7 years legally). We sort, box, and haul the records securely.
Dental Radiographs
Small-format bite-wing dental films. High silver density makes these small sheets exceptionally high-yielding per kilo during chemical refining.
MRI & CT Laser Film
Modern diagnostic laser printed films. While lighter in silver content than older conventional sheets, they retain excellent recovery value in multi-ton lots.
Industrial NDT Film Scrap.
High-yield radiography films used in structural engineering and pipeline diagnostics.
Pipeline Weld Radiography
Long strip films used to check weld integrity in oil, gas, and water pipelines. Extremely high silver composition, highly sought after by refiners.
Aviation & Structural Film
X-Ray films utilized to audit aircraft fuselage frames, structural steel components, and infrastructure concrete anomalies.
Lithographic Printing Film
Large format technical films used in old commercial offset printing plate preparation. Clean, plastic-heavy base sheet output.
The Chemical Extraction Loop
Raw X-Ray film cannot be melted down directly. Our specialized recycling yard utilizes an eco-friendly chemical enzymatic wash process to strip the silver-bearing emulsion from the clear plastic base sheet.
The resulting silver sludge is dried, smelted in high-temperature furnaces, and cast into 99.9% pure silver bullion bars for industrial consumption.
What happens to the remaining plastic?
We guarantee a 100% circular loop for your facility records.
The underlying blue plastic sheet is made of premium **PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate)**. Once the silver emulsion is completely washed clean, the clear PET is shredded, washed, and routed directly to our plastic regrind loops to make new commercial packaging.
Secure Storage Room Extraction.
We clear out entire records rooms, removing the weight burden from your floors.
Paper Jacket Separation
Medical films are always filed inside paper jackets with patient labels. Our clearance service includes manually separating the plastic film from the paper jackets.
Paper Recycling Loop
The empty paper jackets and chart files are routed into high-security document shredders and sent directly to local paper pulping mills for complete destruction.
On-Site Boxing & Logistics
Our team brings heavy bins, loads your archive vault shelves systematically, seals the containers in front of your security officer, and tracks the haul via GPS.
Bulk Vault Purging Services
For major regional hospitals, ministries, and testing institutions holding multi-ton archives, we deploy high-capacity teams to pull, catalog, pack, and haul away entire records warehouses within tight project deadlines.
Scheduled Pickup Rotations
For smaller imaging networks, private clinics, and local dental compounds, we provide scheduled container placement. You dump your expired records inside our secure, locked bins. We swap them monthly, providing seamless cash flow and total compliance.
How we calculate your film payout.
X-Ray film pricing is not flat rate. It depends entirely on the chemical silver yield percentage. Conventional medical films from the 1990s have a much thicker emulsion (higher silver weight) than modern digital dry laser sheets.
We extract a small batch sample, execute an assay burn test, and provide an accurate weight metric based on the true silver value inside your lot.
Factors that maximize value:
Liquidating a medical facility or lab?
Hospitals and industrial test complexes hold more than just film scrap. Consolidate all your facility waste processing with one single certified commercial vendor.
Secure, tracked transport.
Because medical film constitutes sensitive patient records, it cannot be transported loosely or left unsecured. We dispatch locked box trucks or sealed container vans directly to your facility loading docks.
Our background-checked operations staff handles 100% of the lifting, stacking, and pallet wrapping, ensuring continuous security till arrival at our refinery.
Certified Weighing
We deploy calibrated industrial floor scales to weight smaller clinical lots right inside your facility corridor. For multi-ton hospital lots, we handle weight tickets via certified municipality weighbridges before unloading occurs.

“We cleared out a 10-year archive room holding over 3 tons of radiography records. They handled the boxing, the heavy lifting down the elevators, and provided full data destruction records.”
“Our industrial testing laboratory accumulates miles of welding inspection strip film annually. They provide precise per-kilo pricing based on silver spot indexes. Outstanding B2B service.”
“Excellent handling of dental bite-wing records. They put locked security boxes at our clinic compound, swap them monthly, and transfer funds immediately.”
Regulatory Compliance Inquiries.
Do you buy X-Ray films that are still inside their paper jackets?
Yes. Our vault clearance teams handle the entire labor process. We come to your storage room, strip the film sheets out of the paper folders manually, shred the patient files for secure destruction, and route the plastic sheets to our silver chemical wash lines.
What is your minimum weight requirement for a facility pickup?
Because non-ferrous precious metal recovery tracking requires high logistics compliance, our minimum weight threshold for free box-van dispatch inside Riyadh city limits is typically 200 kilograms of loose or boxed film scrap.
Do you issue official Certificates of Destruction for medical data?
Absolutely. We provide comprehensive, fully certified documentation detailing the total processed weight and cross-referenced lot numbers, verifying that 100% of the patient identifiers were shredded and chemically erased, satisfying healthcare privacy audits.
Can you pull old records directly from high-density shelving racks?
Yes. Our warehouse team is fully equipped with portable storage bins and tracking systems. We pull old charts directly from your medical archiving racks systematically, leaving your records room completely empty and swept clean.
