Sorting

Magnetic Separation

Application: Separation of ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Technology:

• Belt magnets: These magnets are mounted on conveyor belts and attract ferromagnetic metals such as iron and steel, while non-ferrous metals are conveyed further.
• Drum magnets: These rotate and separate ferromagnetic metals from other materials by attracting them and ejecting them into a separate container.

Eddy Current Separators

Application: Separation of non-ferrous metals (e.g., aluminum, copper) from non-metallic materials.

Technology:

• Function: A rotating magnetic field induces eddy currents in the non-ferrous metals, which are repelled and separated from the non-metallic materials.

Density Sorting

Application: Separation of metals by their density.

Technology:

• Sink-float process: This method uses liquids with different densities to separate metals. Metals with higher density sink, while those with lower density float.
• Drum sorters: These machines use dense liquids or air streams to sort materials by density.

Sensor-Based Sorting

Application: Precise separation of different metal types and impurities.

Technology:

• Induction sensors: These sensors detect metal types based on their electrical properties.
• Spectroscopy: Optical sensors analyze the light reflected by metals to determine their composition and sort them accordingly.

Size Reduction Systems

Application: Preparation of large metal pieces for further sorting.

Technology:

• Shredders: Reduce large scrap pieces into smaller fragments that are easier to handle and sort.
• Hammer mills: Crush metals using rotating hammers to prepare them for subsequent sorting processes.

Drum Screens and Vibrating Screens

Application: Separation of scrap by size and shape.

Technology:

• Drum screens: Rotating drums with various screen sizes separate materials by their size.
• Vibrating screens: Use vibrations to separate materials of different sizes.
