German-based TITECH GmbH, a maker of sensor-based sorting systems, has announced an enhancement to its product portfolio with the launch of an x-ray-based sorting machine that enables the fast and effective recovery of copper from shredded ferrous scrap. The equipment will be available from Tonawanda, N.Y-based Wendt Corp., a manufacturer and supplier of recycling equipment and processing solutions. Wendt is the exclusive representative in North America for TITECH’s metal recycling equipment.
Called X-Tract, the new system is the first TITECH product developed that uses Energy Dispersive X-Ray Fluorescence (EDXRF) spectrometric equipment. According to Wendt, EDXRF is a preferred analysis methodology due to its rapid sensing speed, high degree of measurement accuracy, low cost of ownership and its ability to sort by material chemistry. The integration of the technology is improved by TITECH’s proprietary sorting know-how, which heightens the efficiency and effectiveness of the sorting process, Wendt adds.
