Sensor-Based Sorting of
Ferrous, Non-Ferrous and
Stainless Steel
The MetalMiner™ is an induction-
based true all-metal sensor that
sorts ferrous, non-ferrous, and
stainless steel down to 1mm in size.
It’s the perfect solution to recover
valuable metal fractions from e-scrap
and ASR streams or remove metal
contaminants from fiber streams,
wood chips, plastic flake or glass
cullet. Across the whole machine
width, tightly spaced coil sensors
analyze the material that runs
over them by means of magnetic
induction. As metallic particles are
detected, electronic signals trigger
precise ejections by individually
controlled compressed air jets.
MapLine™ Algorithm
Technology
Our proprietary MapLine™ algorithm
provides a noticeably higher purity of
the eject fraction while maintaining
or even improving the recovery rate,
providing for a much faster return
on investment such as extracting
a significantly higher percentage
of Zurik from ASR. It is able to
distinguish between ferrous, non-
ferrous and stainless steel.
MetalSort™ Upgrade
The MetalSort™ upgrade uses the
same technology as the MetalMiner™
stand-alone unit, and can be
integrated to any MSS optical sorter.
It can be configured in a conveyor or
slide setup. The sensor resolution is
tailored to the specific processing
application.
