X-STREAM™

A typical X-STREAM system is composed of a conveyor-mounted XRF spectrometer with integrated material position sensing technology infrared (IR) camera. The camera determines the presence of material, while the XRF device determines the elemental composition. The data, through customer defined parameters, actuates one of a variety of downstream diverter mechanisms—all precisely synchronized via high performance PLC technology. The material is accurately directed to the appropriate collection bin or take-away conveyor.

X-STREAM Scrap Sorting Demo
Add an X-STREAM scrap sorter to your separation and recycling operation and sort up to 150 tph of scrap material for glass, heavies, meatballs, and more.

The X-STREAM is based on our proven XRF technology. This technique is ideal for real-time measurements of moving materials—being fast, non-contacting, and, in most cases, equally accurate on clean, wet, dry, dirty or coated material.

Each X-STREAM is designed specifically to a customer’s process configuration. A wide variety of conveyors, feeders and diverters are available to meet performance requirements.

Engineered with flexibility in mind, the X-STREAM operates in batch or continuous mode and allows quick, on-site software modifications by the customer to meet changing criteria and new market demands—no additional cost or hardware is required.

The X-STREAM is designed around a measurable return on investment. It has a reasonable initial cost combined with a low operating cost—yielding a superior CoO. Every X-STREAM system promises to deliver:

• Reduction in labor costs, such as manual pickers
  
• Increased commercial opportunities for assets
  
• Less product reject
