Metal sorting for the metal recycling industry - Waste and Recycling - Metal Recycling
Metals can be identified according to the colour, nature of the metal and of elemental composition.
Applications Overview
The recovery of:
- Type sorting of ferrous metals (e.g., stainless steel)
- Type sorting of non-ferrous metals (such as aluminium, copper, brass, bronze, zinc, stainless steel)
- Critical raw material (e.g. tungsten from mobile phones)
- Printed circuit boards
- Plastics
- Glass
- Composite materials
Sorting of:
- Various aluminium groups
- Plastics
- Various scrap metals
Possible Applications
- Sorting of slag: separation of various metals from a mixture of slag and metals
- Sorting of aluminium
- Separation of various impurities of metallic origin (Cu, Zn, VA, brass, Pb etc.)
- further separation of these fractions (see below: sorting of non-ferrous metals and other metals)
- Separation of various impurities of different origin (e.g. wood, plastics) by means of camera technology
- Separation of aluminium alloys with a higher Zn or Cu content. We are able to produce for instance the alloy 6061 by separating Al alloys with Zn and Cu contents of a few percent
- Separation of various impurities of metallic origin (Cu, Zn, VA, brass, Pb etc.)
- Sorting of stainless steels
- Separation of impurities such as Cu, Zn, brass, Pb, Sn in pure form and in the form of alloys. A pure fraction of steel / stainless steel is produced.
- Separation of stainless steels from a mixture of steel and stainless steel.
- Separation of stainless steels with Mo contents according to adjustable Mo concentration
- Separation of stainless steels with Ni contents according to adjustable Ni concentrations
- Sorting of non-ferrous metals and other metals
- Separation of Cu, Zn, brass etc. in pure fractions
- Production of a pure Cu fraction
- Production of a pure brass fraction
- Etc.
- Separation of Cu, Zn, brass etc. in pure fractions
- Sorting of precious metals
- Separation of materials containing Au
- Separation of materials containing Ag
- Special applications
- Sorting of Cu tubes
- Separation of Ag soldering joints
- In general: Sorting of various alloys on the basis of differences in the composition of the elements, e.g. presence of an element in alloy A, which is not existent in B and C, etc.
- Sorting of Cu tubes
