About SorterStar Services

Removing the Challenges of Scrap Sortation

At SorterStar, our mission is to provide innovative and profitable solutions to your recyclable material challenges.  We strive for optimal value from your scrap through enhanced elemental identification and separation, resulting in reduced processing time, lower energy costs, greater alloy purity, while promoting sustainability.  

We have the solutions for your sorting requirements

If you're looking for a SOLUTION, SYSTEM, or a PRODUCT to separate metals from waste and recycling material streams with enhanced purity; you're in the right place.

MELT-READY

If you're a scrap metal processor, secondary smelter or in mining, and your goal is specific homogeneous alloy fractions, ready to melt; you're in the right place.

PIONEER IN LASER-BASED (LIBS) TECHNOLOGY

SorterStar continues to be the INNOVATOR in laser-based sensor sorting in the waste and metal recycling industries.  SorterStar is a pioneer in 'laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy' (LIBS) technology and manufacturing of equipment with over 30 systems installed world-wide.

SUSTAINABLE SENSOR SORTING CONSULTING

Our sensor-sorting consulting services help you identify opportunities to reduce waste, improve efficiency and increase value.  We are dedicated to providing innovative scrap management solutions that promote sustainability and reduce environmental impact.

X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) Spectrometry

Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS)

Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS)

X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) is a non-destructive analytical technique used to determine the elemental composition of materials.  It is widely used in the investigation of metals, glass, ceramics and building materials.
