ADVANCED SENSOR-BASED
SORTING TECHNOLOGY
FOR OPTIMIZED RESULTS
ZORBA SORTING:
RELIABLY EXCEPTIONAL QUALITY
YOUR CHALLENGE: COSTEFFICIENTLY IDENTIFYING
AND EXTRACTING PURE
FRACTIONS
Manual sorting and sink-float
processes are ineffective, expensive
and, in some cases, environmentally
unfriendly methods to sort Zorba.
Thus, the fractions are often transferred to processing contractors in
low-wage countries who employ
manual sorters and resell the
fractions at a high profit.
and Grey Metals. Flexible systems
allow integration on a modular basis,
resulting in relatively low initial
investment – and quick ROI.

OUR ANSWER: ACHIEVE
SUPERIOR QUALITY –
ECONOMICALLY
Combined sensor-based technologies makes it worthwhile to sort
Zorba, selling it at a higher profit
than before. The X-TRACT separates
Heavy Metals from Aluminum with
high precision, so that Aluminum
purities of 98-99% can be achieved.
The COMBISENSE then sorts out
valuable fractions of Copper, Brass,

THE SOLUTION:
SEAMLESS AND FLEXIBLE
Zorba – generated by Eddy Current
Separation – is passed through an
X-TRACT (XRT) unit to separate
Aluminum from Heavy Metals.
