METAL RECYCLING

Increasing Asset Recovery for Shredder Operations and Metal Processors

The main interest for shredder facilities is in improving recoveries of high valued metals. Existing technology has been used for some time to separate light non-ferrous alloys from heavier non-ferrous alloys; however, over the past several years, there is a significant added value in performing additional separations to recover specific high value alloys. Examples of such are separating pure copper from copper alloys (brass and bronze) or wrought from cast aluminum.

The X-STREAM M is capable of processing economically viable quantities (many tons per hour) of NFR (non-ferrous residue) metals. It can accurately separate mixed metals with high accuracy by very specific alloy chemistry. Saleable product can be achieved in one pass—no reprocessing.

This same proprietary technology can also be used on the fluff line to clean up induction system output, by increasing the total metal content, removing copper from the stainless steel, and even grading the recovered stainless steel.

The system integrates nicely with, or can replace your current technologies—eddy current, magnetic separation, induction systems, heavy media separators, flotation devices, hand sorting, etc.

With capacities from <1 TPH to >100 TPH, and typical accuracies of 95% and above (material dependent), the X-STREAM is the ideal solution for many applications within a high volume shredder facility:

• Extract Cu (or Cu alloys) or SS from your heavies
• Sort your Al product by alloy content
• Clean and grade your induction sorter metals
  (SS and Cu)
• Meatball extraction
• Coin and precious metal extraction
• Plastics, glass and more
