SUSTAINABLE SENSOR SORTING Solutions
HIGH END TECHNOLOGY
Modern sensor-based sorting technologies offer much enhanced sorting functionality, sorting scrap into different grades of high value
LIBS and XRF technologies surpass XRT in metal recycling applications in terms of cost and technical advantages and efficiencies.
SorterStar has worldwide patents for scrap metal sorting and is the most powerful, reasonably priced sensor sorter on the market. Equipment finance options are available.
LASER INDUCED BREAKDOWN SPECTROSCOPY (LIBS)
High End Laser Technology
LIBS modern sensor-based sorting technology offers much enhanced sorting functionality, sorting wrought aluminum scrap into different grades including 5xxx and 6xxx series alloys and removing unwanted material
Chemistry is the key!
Density sorting alone, like XRT sensor sorting, is not good enough for most aluminum recycling applications. LIBS is the answer.
LIBS IS THE SOLUTION
- PATENTED TECHNOLOGY
- HIGH CAPACITY
- HIGH RECOVERY
- LOW OPERATIONAL COST

X-RAY FLUORESCENCE TECHNIQUE (XRF)
High End X-Ray Technology
X-Ray modern sensor-based sorting technology offers much enhance sorting functionality sorting scrap into different grades by elements like Cu, Zn etc. and removing unwanted material.
The Science behind XRF
Energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence (EDXRF), commonly referred to as XRF, is a fast, nondestructive method to measure the elemental composition of a material by detecting their signature XRF emission energies.
Sensor Star Sensor Sorters are:
- Capable of processing up to 6 tons/ hr or more depending on material density and piece size
- Designed to be quickly upgraded for increased capacity
- Multi-application program capable
- Built to German Specifications
TERAHERTZ TECHNOLGOY
High End Terahertz Technology
Conventional plastic waste identification and sorting technologies use specific gravity sorting or near-infrared devices. However, near-infrared devices struggle with identifying black plastics, additives, and degradation. This technology uses terahertz waves to measure and evaluate transmission and absorption characteristics, allowing for identification of black plastics and additives.
Black Plastics
THz systems offer the possibility for a spectroscopy analysis of shredded plastics.
