Replete with numerous innovations – the STEINERT PLASMAX | LIBS is the solution for high-purity separation of aluminium alloys and can handle large volumes. Delivering purity levels in excess of 95%, the new LIBS system achieves high quality levels, enabling the sorted product to be fed straight back into the production process.
Volume sorting with maximum precision
With a processing capacity of up to 11 t/h and three material discharges at the same time – the STEINERT PLASMAX | LIBS makes what is probably the most efficient processing of high-grade aluminium scrap possible and therefore answers the needs in the recycling market.
The new sorting system brings together several technological innovations and combines them on the tried-and-tested STEINERT KSS platform – a symbiosis, promising maximum quality and reliability. The compact design also makes the sorting system very easy to integrate into existing systems.
Karl Hoffmann, Global Sales Director Metal Recycling at STEINERT, summarises what drove the development: “Precise sorting of aluminium alloys with the STEINERT PLASMAX | LIBS delivers quality levels that produce an excellent basis for the increase in demand for recycled aluminium. Given the need to decarbonise the automotive industry and its supply chains, greater use of high- grade recycled materials is essential. I am delighted that, through the STEINERT PLASMAX | LIBS, we are able to present a technology that we have developed in house and that is once again setting new standards in the circular aluminium economy.”
