Material Recovery through Metal Recycling

Metal is one of the most important materials we need in everyday life – at the same time, it offers optimal conditions for reuse. Thanks to modern recycling technologies, metals from various sources can be efficiently recovered:

  • Shredder scrap recycling: Recovery and recycling of non-ferrous metals, sorting of aluminum scrap in alloy ( 5xxx, 6xxx, cast), stainless steel scrap, ASR, shredder light fractions, radiator scrap, Eddy Current drops, Zorba, Twitch and Zurik
  • Recycling of cable scrap: Reprocessing of copper and aluminum recycling
  • E-waste recycling: Recovery of metals such as copper, aluminum and PCBs
  • Recycling of metal from waste incineration: Recovery of stainless steel, non-ferrous metals and coins
  • Production waste: Processing of stamping residues and metal chips for pure metals and alloys
  • Ferrous scrap recycling: Sorting of steel and stainless steel into different alloy groups
  • Recycling of copper coils: Sorting of “meat balls”, such as electric motors and transformers from shredded vehicles or household appliances

Metal Scrap Recycling: Step by Step

Various machines are used in metal recycling and non-ferrous metal recycling. Our technologies are adapted to the specific task and industry:

1. Screening

The first step in the recycling process is the separation of the input material by size and nature. For example, our BIVITEC flip-flow screens are used here, which screen even difficult-to-screen materials like shredded metal without clogging thanks to their dynamic screen mats. For coarser separation cuts, circular vibrating screens are used, which prevent the formation of clogging particles and enable reliable pre-screening.

2. Light Material Separation

Light materials such as paper and plastics can impair aluminum recycling and metal processing and must therefore be reliably removed. Binder+Co has developed the BREEZER light material separator for this purpose. Using an air stream, it selectively separates materials. The machine can be installed directly after the coarse material discharge of a screening machine, ensuring efficient material separation before the next process step.

3. Sorting

After pre-processing, the materials are sorted with high precision using our CLARITY sorting systems. Innovative sensors and classification algorithms are used here – always adapted to your task. For example, optical cameras can separate different materials based on optical parameters. Furthermore, inductive sensors can detect metallic components for recovery, and LIBS sensors can classify materials into metal and alloy groups based on chemical analysis. Thanks to AI technologies, we can overcome challenges that were previously considered unsolvable. We can also master tasks that were previously only possible through human perception.

4. Cleaning

To optimize process stability and product quality, metal particles are freed from impurities and adhesions to optimize the quality of recycled metals. Attrition machines are used for this purpose, which dissolve agglomerates and efficiently clean particles. For example, in e-waste recycling, this results in an end product that meets the highest purity requirements and can be reused directly.

Customized Solutions for Metal Recycling

With innovative products, we support your company in metal scrap recycling. Our knowledge of the interaction between individual processing steps allows us to offer our customers customized solutions.

Buyers of Metal Recyclate

Typical buyers of our customers include smelters and foundries in the aluminum and copper sectors, steel mills, and manufacturers of special alloys. These industries require metal recyclates that are almost free of impurities to meet production requirements. Our technologies ensure these high purity levels through precise separation and sorting technologies that reliably sort out even the smallest foreign substances and minimize losses. This way, we help ensure that recycled materials can be seamlessly integrated into the industrial value chain.
