Maximum Aluminium Purity for the Circular Economy

In order to conserve resources, we need to reuse raw materials as often as we can. This requires recycling materials flows that have as high and as consistent a quality as possible. It is only with efficient sorting technology that resources can be continually recycled. The STEINERT XSS T uses X-ray transmission (or XRT for short) to reliably achieve extremely high purity levels when recycling aluminium. EVO 5.0 is the latest evolutionary stage. Several customers explain here why they are so impressed with the equipment.

More and more companies are looking to save resources and expand their use of secondary raw materials. This approach can deliver a significantly lower carbon footprint and improve the security of supply.

STEINERT has long been an important partner to metal recycling firms. Its technology for dry density separation has been successfully established for a number of years now. The systems are based on x-ray transmission and are designed especially for separating heavy and light metals in metal processing. The STEINERT XSS T produces extremely pure aluminium. The sorting equipment's detection rates are so precise that it can achieve an aluminium purity of 99.8%.

The circular economy perfected: Norway's largest metal recycler places its trust in STEINERT sorting systems

The Norwegian company Metalico AS collects and sorts all types of scrap metal and turns the collected raw materials into new aluminium in its in-house smelting plant. As a part of this process, the company uses STEINERT sorting technology in the sorting facility that was opened in 2022. With two STEINERT EddyC® eddy current separators and several X-ray sorting systems with transmission and fluorescence technology, Metallco is utilizing the latest key technologies in metal sorting. Keeping pace with the times, Metalico is also installing a STEINERT LSS®| LIBS sorting system for separating aluminium by alloy type. CEO and majority owner Laurie Feinberg, together with @yvind Frebrich, CEO of the sorting plant, explain the challenges posed by the international business of recycling metals and how STEINERT sorting technology solves them.
