Induction Sorting System ISS ®
In certain cases, metallic components, e.g. stainless steel and composite materials, cannot be recovered using magnetic separation and non-ferrous metal sorting processes. The ISS® induction sorting system is the logical solution to this problem.

Previous experience has shown that the rate of both purity and recovery is considerably greater than 90%, depending on the conditions in the plant. Therefore, automatic separation using ISS® sensor technology can more than double the recovery of valuable materials as compared to the manual sorting methods often used today, which at best have a 40% yield.

The ISS® increases throughput three- or fourfold – all factors that have a substantial impact on your company’s bottom line. Precise screening and further crushing improve the results even more.

Application:
Stainess steel, metal residues, municipal waste, slag residue, electronic scrap (WEEE), wood chips, glass, foundry sand.

Technology:
The main measuring criterion is the electrical conductivity of the material. Small sensors about a thumb’s width in size positioned under a belt or chute emit electromagnetic waves. Electrical conductors traversing through the field change these waves and a computer detects the signal difference for each individual particle, which makes it possible to accurately sort particles with conductor thicknesses as small as 1mm.
