Sorting system for the mining industry KSS®

X-raycolormagnetic

Unlock higher yield, lower costs, and sustainable dry processing with this sensor-based sorting solution. The unit is designed as a robust combination sensor sorting system for mining. It harmonizes four sensors: XRT (X-ray transmission) - detects atomic density contrasts through the particle Colour - surface colour, texture and reflectance 3D / laser / shape detection - volumetric and morphological information Inductive (metal detection) - identifies conductive minerals or metal content By fusing these sensor signals, the system delivers deep sorting depth and is more resilient to material variability than single-sensor machines. The unit was developed as a response to increasingly complex requirements in material separation. Having the correct combination of sensors opens further possibilities to clean up generated products beyond the extent originally required or to add sorting stages previously assessed as not feasible. With working widths of 1.2 m and 2.0 m from 5 t/h to 250 t/h unit capacities can be achieved depending on the requirements. Why Sensor-Based Sorting is a Game Changer in Mining In modern mineral processing, sensor-based sorting is increasingly adopted to improve selectivity, reduce energy and water consumption, and de-risk downstream processing. By identifying each particle’s density, shape, or compositional signature prior to milling, operations can reject waste early, reduce mass throughput, and boost grade - delivering both operational efficiency and sustainability benefits.
