Wzrost cen katalizatorów w ostatnim czasie

W ostatnim czasie wartość katalizatorów znacznie wzrosła, co można zaobserwować w porównaniu cenowym wybranych modeli. W analizowanym okresie, od 19 sierpnia do 25 października, obserwujemy znaczące zmiany w kursach metali szlachetnych, co bezpośrednio przekłada się na wzrost cen katalizatorów.

Prezentujemy porównanie wartości 15 modeli. Jeśli prowadzicie stację demontażu pojazdów, niebawem otrzymacie od DS AUTO pocztą najnowsze wydanie naszego corocznego katalogu,  a w nim m.in. poniższe modele wraz z cenami – pamiętajcie, że wartości, które zobaczycie były aktualne w momencie jego tworzenia i nieustannie się zmieniają – w tym momencie są o wiele wyższe.

Aby być na bieżąco, obserwujcie nasz cennik i social media, z pomocą których przedstawiamy na bieżąco jak wygląda sytuacja.

Jak widać, ceny różnych modeli wzrosły o 20-30%, co jest efektem rosnącego zapotrzebowania na metale szlachetne oraz wzrostu ich wartości na rynkach surowców.

#### Podsumowanie

Wzrost cen katalizatorów jest wynikiem wielu czynników, w tym rosnących kursów metali szlachetnych, zwiększonego popytu oraz zaostrzających się norm dotyczących emisji spalin. Wartość katalizatorów nieustannie rośnie, co czyni je cennym składnikiem zarówno dla przemysłu motoryzacyjnego, jak i rynku surowców. W niniejszym artykule przedstawimy również zdjęcia katalizatorów, ilustrujące różnice cenowe w wybranych modelach.

Why is it worth selling used DPF/FAP filters in DS AUTO?

Precious metals present in DPF/FAP filters have a high stock exchange value. The prices of platinum, palladium and rhodium remain high, which makes selling these parts very profitable. Instead of storing used parts or leaving them to a mechanic, it is better to sell them to a professional purchase center, where they will be subject to appropriate valuation and, of course, recycling. At the DS AUTO headquarters and at our partner points, we use the renowned Olympus Vanta L XRF spectrometers for valuation, which precisely determine the content of precious metals in filters. For wholesale suppliers, we also perform detailed chemical analysis using an ICP-MS spectrometer in our laboratory.

DPF/FAP filter regeneration process – What is worth knowing?

Regeneration of particulate filters is a process that enables their reuse in vehicles. It involves thorough cleaning and removal of accumulated soot and other impurities. There are many companies on the market that regenerate filters, but this process does not always bring the desired results. Some filters, due to the degree of wear or mechanical damage, are no longer suitable for further use and must be recycled.

This is where the key role of DS AUTO comes into play – used filters can be resold, thus contributing to the protection of the environment. Responsible recycling of these parts reduces the need to extract new raw materials, which reduces the carbon footprint.

Benefits of wholesale cooperation with DS AUTO

3. Price history for 6 months

In addition to the current value of catalysts, you can also see how their value has changed in the last half-year. This is a good indicator of how precious metals rates are changing.

Changes on the website:

You will now find interesting statistics on the home page. Next to the chart in which we present the number of purchased catalytic converters per month, week and day, we have also included the calculated AVERAGE PRICE OF PETROL AND DIESEL CAR MODELS.

Why might an average presented separately be interesting to you?

*Petrol models are dusted with palladium and rhodium, which have lost their value significantly in recent months.

*Diesel models, on the other hand, are sprayed with platinum, the value of which remains at a similar level.

We also encourage you to follow our Facebook profile, where we constantly inform you about all the news.

There has always been one goal – to make it as easy as possible for you to find the information you need and to simplify the use of our website, and thus the catalog of catalytic converters, which we are constantly expanding with new models subject to ICP analysis.

Today we want to present you in a nutshell what has changed on our website in recent months.

We have introduced:

Filter in the petrol/diesel search engine

Model price history

Information about the elements contained

If you were wondering what noble elements your used catalytic converters are dusted with, you don’t have to wonder anymore

The price list includes information whether the model contains platinum and palladium, palladium and rhodium, or maybe all of them at the same time?

Legend with a description of the abbreviations used

We realize that you do not have to know what an XRF or ICP spectrometer is – it is our task to have this knowledge. Therefore, it was necessary to create an explanation of individual abbreviations, which you will inevitably find in our price list when looking for the value of your catalyst. These abbreviations refer to, among others: to analytical techniques performed at our headquarters to determine the content of precious metals in the catalyst. Details:

Artykuł What’s new in DS AUTO – changes in a nutshell! pochodzi z serwisu Katalizatory Chrzanów.

January is a perfect time to reflect on the past year, analyze completed projects and define further goals to be achieved. So let’s take a closer look at the challenges and successes that formed the foundation of our business in the previous twelve months.

The past year was a period of intense activities, innovation and hard work for our company. Despite the difficult market situation, we have not given up on our intentions, and the unfavorable market situation and falling stock exchange prices motivated us to make even greater efforts and efforts to make cooperation with us and our business partners even more fruitful and satisfying.

We would like to share with you our successes, but also openly address the difficulties we have encountered.

New year, new reality…

Let’s start with the most important issue for everyone. The year 2023 was not kind to anyone in terms of the stock market situation. We all felt the effects of the decline.

A comparison of how the value of the most popular models in our catalog has changed over the last year can be found in the last blog entry: https://katalizatorychrzanow.pl/top10-najpopular-katalizatorow-aktualizacja-29-12-2023/.

Changes on the stock exchange resulted in significant destabilization on the catalytic converter market. It was necessary for everyone to quickly start working in the new realities in order to reduce losses caused by price drops.

What has obviously helped our Partners face the new reality is the activity within the DS AUTO partner network we have built. Cooperation with a reliable, stable partner can reduce the risk – how?

*We provide our clients with access to proven and reliable information, and we also support them strategically and marketing.

*By working with us, they benefit from our knowledge and experience that we have gained over the years and which we share completely free of charge.

*We settle the delivered material expressly, realizing that financial liquidity is the basis in this business.

*We protect our clients’ money by allowing us to “fix” prices for the delivered material, taking on the risk of changes in precious metal prices.

We have introduced many new things for you

At DS AUTO, we focus on continuous development, which is why in 2023 we have introduced a number of amenities for you. Some of them concerned changes in our price list, which we have enriched with as many as 4 NEW NEWS:

* a legend with a description of the abbreviations we use – its purpose is to explain the abbreviations we use, which refer, among others, to: to analytical techniques performed at our headquarters to determine the content of precious metals in the catalyst. Details:
https://katalizatorychrzanow.pl/oznaenia-w-cenniku…/
* information about the elements contained in the catalyst, which helps in assessing the risk and changes taking place on the precious metals exchange,
* price history of each catalytic converter model, thanks to which you can track market price fluctuations over the last days, weeks and even months without having to look at stock exchange rates,
* filter regarding the type of fuel used in the vehicle from which the searched catalytic converter comes. The fact whether the model comes from a car with a petrol or diesel engine matters. Petrol models are dusted with palladium and rhodium, which have lost their value significantly recently. Diesel models, on the other hand, are sprayed with platinum, the value of which remains at a similar level. So if someone really wants to wait for the so-called “better times”, it would be best to put aside those catalytic converters that come from cars with a petrol engine. In the case of diesels, “putting it aside” doesn’t make much sense. The filter will make it easier to make a decision.

Moreover, taking into account the current market situation and your needs, we have reduced the minimum quantity of catalysts needed to arrange wholesale delivery to 100 pieces.

Thanks to this, smaller companies operating in the catalytic converter purchasing industry have the opportunity to obtain the most favorable terms of cooperation, which will influence the development of their businesses.

There were also new products that developed the form of contact with us and our partner points. It’s about a telephone switchboard and an online conversation. Thanks to telephone automation, contacting the nearest purchase center in your area is not the slightest problem, and the online consultation will allow for an initial conversation about the terms of cooperation with us, without the need to come to our company.

Some statistics

We have conquered social media!

In 2023, we took part in many events.

We started JANUARY 2023 with the New Year’s SIEMA, i.e. involvement in the annual collection of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity, where we prepared a large basket of gadgets for the auction. At the same time, on the same day, January 29, 2023, we took part for the first time in WRAK-RACE, the idea of ​​which, as the name suggests, is to race old and damaged vehicles. Our stand was very popular, and the main attraction was the rollover and collision simulator prepared for us by the company Pro-Kierowca Driving License Pszczyna.

We visited this event again in MARCH during the edition of WRAK-RACE Silesia WOMEN’S DAY 19/03/2023, where this time our colleagues took an active part in the races, presenting their great skills behind the wheel of a “pimped-up” Hyundai.

IN FEBRUARY, we had the great pleasure and opportunity to share our knowledge and experience during the webinar “End-of-life vehicles. Legal and registration obligations”. If you haven’t watched this presentation yet, you can easily catch up on our social media: https://www.facebook.com/katalizatorychrzanow/videos/730953138707340.

MAY was dominated by the slogan “Let’s save the bees”, which was the main idea of ​​the 3rd Chrzanów Eco-Fair. We celebrate World Bee Day on May 20, so we couldn’t celebrate this event any other way. Traditionally, we took part in the event as a co-organizer, but also one of the 32 companies, institutions and associations presented during the event – an exhibitor. We are happy to see that each year the event, organized together with Unimetal Recycling and MOKSiR Chrzanów, is becoming more and more popular among the residents of our district and we do not hide that we are hungry for more, so follow our profile to learn more about the next edition!

JUNE was a month of fun and family feasting thanks to the Children’s Day organized at our headquarters. The good mood that day was ensured not only by the favorable summer weather, but also by the attractions prepared for our employees and their families. If you want to go back to the memories from that day, please see the photo report on our fanpage: https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=642958294535294&id=100064633874883

This month, there was also the excitement of a trip to Seoul, the capital of South Korea, to the METAVERSE EXPO 2023 SEOUL fair, where, together with our partner Unimetal Recycling, we gained knowledge about the economic system 3.0 and technologies based on artificial intelligence.

IN SEPTEMBER, a new season of our Chrzanów handball players began in the first league games. At this point, we must boast that the Unimetal Recycling MTS Chrzanów team we support finished the first round with a record of 10 victories, thus taking the leader’s seat! Congratulations and we keep our fingers crossed for further fruitful results during the second round of the competition, to which we invite you to participate from February 17/18.

IN OCTOBER we took part in the ecological event Clean, Green Cities – Chrzanów, which was created on the initiative of the Clean Poland Program Association. As part of this event, together with our colleagues from the UniLab Analytical Laboratory, we engaged in cleaning the Chechło River valley and planting trees at ul. Chestnut. There were also attractions prepared together with UniLab, which appeared at our stand during the picnic accompanying the event.

OCTOBER also marks the PREMIERE of the DS Auto 2023 CATALOG, which is refreshed periodically every autumn and is available to our partners and owners of scrap cars. If you are curious about its content, visit the link below: https://katalizatorychrzanow.pl/katalogi-ds-auto/

DECEMBER is, of course, the company Christmas Eve, where we celebrated the past year together with our partners, employees and friends. The time of integration, summaries and great fun allowed us to say goodbye to 2023 together.

A few words of summary:

Despite the difficult market situation that we all had to face, we operate dynamically and constantly introduce many modernizations into our activities, which make us remain the market leader and, above all, a reliable and stable business partner.

In 2023, we continued our CSR policy, consistently supporting initiatives that are close to our hearts. We are entering the new year with energy and many plans for further joint development. We believe that together with you we will be able to achieve them successfully.

Thank you for a difficult and challenging year!

Often, when you hear the term “replacement”, you believe that it equates to “worthless”. Then it even happens that you give up the sale or even inquiries about the amount you can get for it. However, it is worth checking in our catalog what value the replacement you used has. This can be done very easily using the “Price list” tab. We’ll show you how to do this in the following. The most popular manufacturer that produces replacements for exhaust systems is Walker. The catalysts produced by them often reach a very attractive purchase price.

What does the value of the replacement depend on?

Replacement prices, as with genuine parts, depend on the amount of platinum, palladium or rhodium in the cartridge. Among the replacements, we can find both worthless parts (which are mainly designed to fill the catalyst gap), low-value parts, but also catalysts of quite decent value. Much depends on the destination of the produced batch and what environmental standards are in force in a given area. The more they are tightened, the more precious metals there will be in the part and, therefore, the higher it will be. In 2021, we are dealing with a large increase in the value of substitutes. Even a small degree of dusting results in an attractive catalyst value, thanks to the systematically increasing rates. We encourage you to follow the current prices on our website.

How do I find the price of a Walker replacement?

Quoting a replacement with the help of the catalog on our website is extremely simple. In the search window, just enter the phrase “Walker” to see the full list of parts of this brand that we have analyzed.

To obtain specific information, just as with the original models, just enter the marking stamped on the lid and then click “Show price”.

Galant is a car that was produced by the Japanese manufacturer Mitsubishi in the years 1969-2012. The name of the model comes from the French word galant, meaning “knightly”. There were nine different generations, with total sales exceeding five million units. Production began with a compact sedan, but over the years Galant was transformed into a medium-sized car. Initial production took place in Japan, but from 1994 the US market was served by vehicles assembled at the former Diamond-Star Motors (DSM) plant in Normal, Illinois.

The first generation of the car, initially known as Colt Galant, was released in December 1969 in the new Japanese Mitsubishi salon called Galant Shop . The project was named by Mitsubishi “Dynawedge”, referring to the effect of aerodynamics on the silhouette of the vehicle.
