Metal sorting

Product catalog summary

Introduction
REDWAVE, a division of BT-Wolfgang Binder GmbH, specializes in advanced metal sorting technologies. Their systems are designed to efficiently recover high-grade metals from various scrap materials, utilizing innovative sensor-based sorting technologies.

Specifications
The REDWAVE XRF technology is a key component, offering high recovery efficiency unaffected by surface contamination. It allows for color-independent detection and sorting of metals such as aluminum, zinc, and stainless steel. The technology supports the separation of various alloys, including brass, bronze, and stainless steel, ensuring high purity and capacity.

Procedures
The sorting process involves multiple steps, starting with the identification of metal types using X-ray fluorescence. This method analyzes the chemical composition of materials, unaffected by moisture or color variations. The system can handle various sorting tasks with preset programs, making it versatile for different applications.

Applications
REDWAVE's technology is applied in sorting shredded end-of-life vehicles, white goods, and nonferrous metals like ZORBA and ZURIK. It is also used for recycling slags and ashes, recovering precious metals, and sorting stainless steel and aluminum alloys.

Advantages
The REDWAVE XRF-M chute innovation enhances detection efficiency and product purity. It offers unmatched metal identification accuracy, flexible sorting logic, and is designed for numerous metal recovery applications. The system supports indefinite sorting logic variations and is capable of detecting and separating individual elements.

Plant Solutions
REDWAVE provides tailor-made plant solutions, including project design, management, manufacturing, and after-sales services. Their sensor-based sorting machines are equipped with vibrating chutes, XRF detection, and blow-out mechanisms to efficiently process and sort materials.
