APPLICATION PROFILE

The range of machines designed for automatic separation of metals from the crushed material stream by using the selective metal detector system.

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

The material to be sorted is fed with a vibratory conveyor or belt conveyor (depending on the sorter type). The multi-segment metal detection coil immediately detects and determines location of an undesired metal contaminant. The signal is processed by the controller equipped with data evaluation electronics that activates the suitable nozzle of the integrated ejection system. As a result a contaminant is removed with very little loss of good material from the material flow. The metal separation sensitivity depends on the sorter type and material type to be processed. In optimal working conditions, it is possible to separate a 0.8 mm diameter Fe ball.

APPLICATIONS

• Separates metals (aluminium, stainless steel and lead) from shredded plastics
• Removes aluminium, steel or lead from glass cullet (removal of wires from reinforced glass cullet, tungsten filaments from light bulb cullet and metal contacts from fluorescent tubes)   
• Separates steel and aluminium from wood chips
• Separates stainless steel and aluminium from shredded window frames
• Separates aluminium from shredded demolition wood
• Separates metals from aggregates

ADVANTAGES

• Simultaneous evaluation of different types of metal
• Electronic metal detection sensitivity adjustment
• High-speed valves of ejection nozzles
• Modular design
