Produce residual material containing no metal and recover residual metals with the STEINERT ISS® – and at the smallest grain sizes in metal recovery: STEINERT Fines ISS®
The STEINERT ISS® induction sorting system is the perfect addition to magnetic sorting and eddy-current separation for recovering residual metals from a mix of materials. It is especially suitable for stainless steels and composite materials such as cables or circuit boards. It can be deployed with a focus on producing recoverable metal concentrates, such as zurik or a stainless steel fraction. The aim of treatment may however also be to produce a metal-free residual fraction containing less than 1% metal in order to meet acceptance qualities, e.g. in the production of recovered fuels. Both tasks are the core applications of the STEINERT ISS®.
Our induction sorting system includes an acceleration belt on which the sortable material is transported through the detection area while at rest. Under the conveyor belt, there is a modern inductive metal sensor that produces an electromagnetic field. Any conductive object passing through the sensor area is detected at a sensitivity of significantly less than 1 mm. Following detection and classification, the metal part to be sorted is deflected from its trajectory using a targeted blast of compressed air and is ejected from the material stream.
Sensors for all eventualities
Depending on the requirements of the application case, sensors are available with a coarse or fine resolution resulting from the coil diameters used. We also provide two different types of sensors that can also be selected depending on your specific application.
