Industrial metal recovery system

Precise separation of ferrous and non-ferrous metals from mixed streams

Case study

Industrial metal recovery system

A modular magnetic and eddy current separation line optimized for mixed ferrous and non-ferrous metal streams. The system maximizes the purity of recovered fractions and significantly reduces manual sorting labor.

Challenges

Mixed industrial waste streams containing ferrous metals, non-ferrous metals and non-metallic contaminants

Need for high-purity separated fractions acceptable to smelters

Large material volumes to process with limited personnel

The Urstag solution

Two-stage magnetic separation

High-power permanent magnets and magnetic drums for complete extraction of ferrous metals from the mixed stream.

Eddy current separator

High-frequency eddy current separator for recovering aluminium, copper and other non-ferrous metals.

Granulometric classification

Vibrating screens and classifiers that prepare the material in optimal fractions for downstream separation.

Results

Metal purity significantly improved versus manual sorting. The line processes large volumes of mixed waste with minimal human intervention, reducing labor costs and increasing the value of recovered materials.
