Mineral sorting

Product catalog summary

Overview: This document provides an overview of REDWAVE's mineral sorting technology, highlighting its applications, technologies, and customer benefits. REDWAVE, a division of BT-Wolfgang Binder GmbH, specializes in sensor-based sorting machines for various minerals, ores, and gemstones.

Applications: The technology is applicable to a wide range of materials including industrial minerals (e.g., calcite, dolomite, quartz), base metals (e.g., copper, iron ore), precious metals (e.g., gold, silver), and gemstones (e.g., diamonds, emeralds).

Technologies and Competences: REDWAVE offers comprehensive plant solutions including feeding systems, crushing, screening, conveying, and sensor-based sorting technology. Their turnkey solutions encompass project design, management, manufacturing, and after-sales services.

Sensor-Based Sorting Machines: The REDWAVE ROX sorting machines are designed to improve the quality of minerals through advanced scanning and sorting technologies. Key features include single or double side scanning, high capacity, and high recovery rates. The machines utilize various sensor technologies such as RGB cameras, Near Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy, and X-ray fluorescence (XRF).

Functional Principle: Materials are fed via a vibration feeder, scanned by sensors, and sorted based on set parameters. Ejection units use high-speed air jets to separate identified minerals.

Types of REDWAVE ROX Machines:

ROX-C: Single-side detection for color recognition using RGB cameras.
ROX-CC: Double-side detection for color recognition.
ROX-NIR: Material recognition using NIR spectroscopy.
ROX-NIR/C: Combined material and color recognition.
ROX-XRF: Chemical composition recognition using XRF spectrometry.

Advantages of XRF Technology: XRF provides high-quality separation even in contaminated materials, allowing for accurate elemental analysis and targeted enrichment.

Technical Specifications: The machines offer a working width of up to 2,000 mm and can handle material sizes ranging from 2 mm to 300 mm. They are equipped with various sensor technologies including line scan cameras, NIR, multi-sensor systems, and inductive metal detectors.

Conclusion: REDWAVE's sensor-based sorting machines provide efficient and economical solutions for mineral sorting, enhancing the quality and purity of various materials.
