Exsor Introduces New Metal Sorter EX-900 with EMCAM Technology

Exsor GmbH, Hamburg, Germany, a company that specializes in metal sorting, has introduced its new sorting generation for metal recycling, the EX-900.

The fully-automated sorter has a high throughput up to 40 tons per hour. The EX-900 separates non-iron metals, ferrous metals and stainless steel. Stainless steel is segregated in a purity of well beyond 90 percent, the company says.

The special feature on the Exsor sorting technique is the application of the planar magnetic induction tomography (PMIT) with an integrated Real-time calculator. The high speed sensor technique that registers, respectively calculates the distinct metal typical electromagnetic characteristics for its material identification and sorting criterion.

This PMIT principle of the new sensors closes the resolution gap of conventional metal sensors with a resolution of 25 to 50 mm and its lateral sensitivity. Small, metal containing grains as well as foil or wire type metal particles in slags can be presented in focused control and real-time without the auxiliary use of optical aids.

The standard scanning time of the PMIT system is 0.5 milliseconds. The PMIT sensor with integrated sorting calculator was registered as Trade mark Electromagnetic Camera (EMCAM).

Classic applications for the metal separation system are:

• Incineration and metallurgical bottom ashes and slags
• Mixed and composite aluminum waste materials
• Mining residues
• Light, heavy and mixed car shredder materials
• Stainless steel and non-ferrous metals
• WEEE
• Construction and demolition waste
• Residual fractions from waste metal processing
