Metal sorting

From upstream preparation to downstream processing

Get more out of what you're already doing

No matter where you are in the value chain, there is often hidden value just waiting to be unlocked. And it starts with getting your processes right – both upstream and downstream.

If you work with collection and coarse sorting, your work is typically upstream. It’s all about preparing the material in the best possible way: sorting out inappropriate content, standardizing the flow and ensuring a stable input for the further process. Small improvements here can have a big impact in the later downstream processes – on operations, output quality and economy.

If you work with processing, fractioning and selling clean material streams, your focus is on the downstream. Here it’s about optimizing sorting rates, cutting waste and increasing purity. Not necessarily with bigger plants – but perhaps with better technology, more precise control or better integration between machines.

We help you find the improvements that make the biggest impact in your current situation. Sometimes you need to keep building. Other times you just need to adjust wisely.

We believe that you can do more with less. And we know that the biggest difference often lies in how things are connected.

How do you create an efficient sorting line?

Metal sorting is rarely a one-size-fits-all solution. Material compositions vary, and what works in one place can cause waste in another. That’s why professional sorting is not just about choosing the right machines – it’s about getting them to work together in a flow that suits your materials.

Most systems consist of one or more of the following key processes:

In-feed

Compartmentalization

Pre-sorting

New breakdown

Fine sorting

“So I just have to follow that order?”

Unfortunately, not quite.

Which technology to use – and in what order – depends on your materials, your goals and how the processes affect each other. It’s not just the machines individually, but the interaction between them that determines the output quality and value of the finished product.
