Redwave offers fines sorter in the US

The Alpharetta, Georgia, office of Austria-based Redwave is now offering a sorting machine designed specifically for metallic fine material from 0.15 inches to 1 inch (4 to 25 millimeters) in size.

The X-ray fluorescence (XRF) sorting technology company says its new device for fines “offers an expedient return on investment.”

According to Redwave, the new model has 30 percent more sensors and 90 percent more energy-saving valves than some competing machines and has been designed to set “new standards in performance for metal recycling.”

Redwave cites an optimal arrangement and decreased spacing between valve and sensor components as one design enhancement. “This ensures higher purity and increased metal recovery, including [of] precious metals,” the company says.

The device’s new enhancements yield what Redwave calls a “final furnace-ready product” while granting operators flexibility for “continuous product development and quick reaction on market trends.”  

Redwave says its new XRF fines sorting machine is compact and has a versatile footprint, offering fine material throughputs of up to 2 tons per hour. The company also points to a belt system [that] prevents rolling while maintaining constant material speed.

“This innovation represents a significant breakthrough for the recycling industry,” Redwave CEO Silvia Schweiger-Fuchs says. “The technology promises to unlock new opportunities for metal recyclers across the globe to more effectively conserve and recover valuable resources, ultimately benefiting both their business and the environment.”

Redwave calls the machine’s performance a “groundbreaking advancement in XRF sorting technology [that] not only maximizes the potential of metal recycling, but also makes a significant contribution toward creating a more sustainable and environmentally friendly world.”

The company will offer more information about its new scrap metal fines sorting model at the Institute for Scrap Recycling Industries 2023 convention April 17-20 in Nashville, Tennessee.
