Fine-grain sorting materials have no chance of escaping when Galloo, one of Europe's biggest recyclers and a pioneer in metal recycling, teams up with the Cologne-based sorting and separation specialist STEINERT. The two sector heavyweights have developed a new non-ferrous metals separator for fine materials. The new system's splitter can be set with millimetre precision, enabling non-ferrous metals such as aluminium, copper and zinc to be separated more effectively than ever before. Additionally, the machine was designed so a conveyor belt change can be carried out in 10 minutes, without heavily lifting equipment or excessive downtime. There is nothing comparable on the market for conveyor belt widths of two metres, says Karl Hoffmann, Key Account Manager at STEINERT. The extremely high pole change frequency activates even tiny particles measuring less than a millimetre so that they can be separated.
