In the realm of steel production, the purity of iron scrap (Fe) is a significant factor influencing sales. Thanks to STEINERT SteelMaster's reliable physical separation technology, operators of shredder plants can now effectively remove copper meatballs from their ferrous products, ensuring a higher quality end product.

Adept Approach for Distinguishing Copper Meatballs from Ferrous Goods

** Streamlined Separation of Copper and Iron **

Sorting copper meatballs and copper content from iron isn't a walk in the park, especially with a constant influx of objects on the sorting belt. With various sizes and weights of problematic items, the required purity of ferrous products, like those used in steel mills, can be inconsistent, impacting sales. The innovative STEINERT SteelMaster, with its combination of ballistic and magnetic effects, is a game-changer.

** Reinventing the STEINERT SteelMaster for Tough Environments **

Based on feedback from customers and the grueling conditions of shredder plants, the STEINERT SteelMaster underwent a redesign. For instance, the mechanics of the belt section were optimized to improve material flow and separation properties, making maintenance a breeze and reducing copper content in iron to less than 0.2%. The device's rugged construction, much like other Steinert products, assures a lengthy service life and excellent availability of the technology. Grain sizes commonly range from 20 to 400 mm, and the high sorting efficiency ensures a throughput of 75t/h per metre machine width. Depending on the material composition, other magnet-based sorting machines may be added upstream or downstream to eliminate impurities and free copper content as needed. Our experts are readier than ever to advise you on your specific situation and application.
