Maximising ZORBA Value: STEINERT XSS-T and XSS-F in Metal Sorting Operations

Explore the innovative capabilities of the STEINERT XSS-T and XSS-F in enhancing the value of ZORBA, a mixed fraction of non-ferrous scrap metals. This video demonstrates how these sensor-based sorting systems separate a mixture of light and heavy metals into aluminium and a group fraction of copper, brass, zinc, and more. This is achieved using advanced X-ray technology, resulting in a maximum yield and purity of aluminium that can be marketed in a defined quality.

The STEINERT XSS-T X-ray sorting system is used for dry density sorting of bulk materials. A transmitting procedure detects material-dependent differences in the absorption of X-rays, then classifies and uses them for sorting into density classes. The XSS-T features an eccentrically mounted pole system, which ensures maximum efficiency by focusing the influence of the magnetic fields precisely where the material experiences the greatest force and is at the point of separation from the conveyor belt. This unique design minimises wear and tear on the belt and drum shell, ensuring long-lasting operation.

The STEINERT XSS-F high-speed X-ray fluorescence sorting machine provides element-based online material analysis, resulting in a stainless steel concentrate. This technology is particularly effective in the recycling of non-ferrous metals and in mining applications.
