3-Way Sorting
  • A blow-out unit sorts specific
    Aluminum alloys specifically designated as a product category
  • The material flow forms a second product stream
  • Additional sorting flaps feed a third product through
    ...particularly suitable for heavy particles such as, for example,.
    Aluminum castings
LIBS Technology
  • Real-time alloy identification – analyzes the chemical composition of individual aluminum parts in real time and enables their targeted sorting by alloy class
  • It is suitable, among other things, for separating wrought and cast aluminum, as well as various aluminum alloys
  • Lays the foundation for high-purity aluminum fractions and efficient reintroduction into the recycling process
Variable material discharge
  • Two integrated belt conveyors with an optimized system layout achieved through
    Freely selectable discharge side
  • Integrated belt deflector prevents buildup
6-lane material feed
  • The innovative six-lane configuration ensures even material distribution and reliable separation for subsequent LIBS detection.
  • Upon customer request, the material feed can also be configured with two or four lanes.
Optional Compressed Air Treatment
  • Compressed-air storage tanks to cover peak demand
  • The system is independent of the quality of the compressed air supplied

SENSOR LIBS is a sensor-based 3-way sorter utilising laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for the elementspecific analysis and sorting of aluminium alloys. A high-energy laser pulse strikes the particle and generates a plasma, the emitted light from which contains characteristic, element-specific wavelengths. This is analysed within milliseconds using a high-resolution spectrometer, enabling the chemical composition of each individual particle to be precisely determined.

On this basis, SENSOR LIBS enables the reliable separation of different aluminium alloys – for example, wrought and cast aluminium or various alloy groups. The subsequent sorting takes place into three product streams via targeted compressed air pulses and a collection pocket, enabling even heavy particles such as cast aluminium components to be efficiently ejected.

Advantages

3-Way-Sorting: Sort up to two alloys in one step

Perfectly suited for the sorting of aluminium alloys e.g. 3xxx, 4xxx, 5xxx & 6xxx alloys

First LIBS within a mobile container system

Fully integrated within the BLUELINE system
