Sensor-Based Sorting Systems and Magnetic Separators STEINERT

Multi-sensor KSS sorters, EddyC eddy current separators, XSS T X-ray units, and UniSort NIR systems from STEINERT. Technical equipment selection.

Multi-Sensor Sorting Systems STEINERT KSS

STEINERT KSS multi-sensor sorting platforms integrate X-ray transmission, high-resolution optical colour cameras, 3D laser detection, and electromagnetic induction. The system achieves dry pre-concentration of minerals and secondary metals by density and colour at up to 200 t/h.

Multi-sensor fusion combining up to 4 technologies
Dry pre-concentration of mineral ores and scrap
High-pressure pneumatic solenoid ejection valve grid
Direct fieldbus controller and remote diagnostics

Non-Ferrous Eddy Current Separators STEINERT EddyC

STEINERT EddyC non-ferrous metal separators feature an eccentric magnetic rotor with NdFeB permanent magnets to extract aluminium, copper, and brass from shredder scrap and bottom ash. The eccentric pole configuration prevents residual ferrous damage and overheating.

Eccentric permanent magnetic rotor with NdFeB magnets
Recovery of non-ferrous metals from 0.5 mm to 250 mm
Wear-resistant composite drum shells and conveyor belts
Heavy-duty rotor bearings and high-torque drive units

X-Ray Transmission Sorting Systems STEINERT XSS T EVO 5.0

STEINERT XSS T EVO 5.0 sorting systems utilize dual-energy X-ray transmission (XRT) for dry density classification of bulk minerals and metals sized from 5 mm to 200 mm. The machine cleanly separates light aluminium from heavy metals and upgrades mineral ore feed.

Dual-energy transmission X-ray sensor technology
Automated scanning chamber cleaning with Auto X-clean
Industrial X-ray tubes and digital line detectors
High-speed pneumatic valve pitch down to 6.25 mm

Hyperspectral NIR Optical Sorters STEINERT UniSort PR

STEINERT UniSort PR optical sorting systems use near-infrared (NIR) hyperspectral imaging (HSI) to separate polymers such as PET, PE, PP, PS, and PVC. The UniSort BlackEye module detects black plastics on a high-speed acceleration conveyor operating at up to 4.5 m/s.

Overband Suspension Magnets and Drums STEINERT MT

STEINERT self-cleaning overhead suspension magnets and MT magnetic drums with ANOFOL coils extract tramp iron and ferromagnetic scrap from crushed rock, slag, and demolition debris. Deep magnetic penetration up to 1 m operating height protects primary crushing machinery.

Electromagnetic coils wound with anodized ANOFOL strip
Suspension operating heights up to 1000 mm over belts
Oil-resistant and heat-resistant armoured discharge belts
Reliable protection for cone crushers and hammer mills

Induction and Chute Sorting Systems STEINERT ISS / Chutec

STEINERT ISS induction sorting machines employ an electromagnetic sensor array to locate fine stainless steel and wire fragments down to 1 mm grain size. STEINERT Chutec free-fall chute systems ensure consistent trajectory and pneumatic ejection for mineral separation.

Multi-Sensor Ore Beneficiation with STEINERT KSS Platforms

STEINERT KSS installations integrate dual-energy transmission X-ray sensors, high-resolution RGB optical colour cameras, 3D laser profiling, and electromagnetic induction coils.

This fusion enables simultaneous material evaluation based on internal atomic density, physical shape, surface colour, and conductivity.

A proven industrial reference is an industrial mineral mine in central Mexico where three STEINERT KSS systems have been operating successfully since 2018.

The installations process medium and low-grade run-of-mine ore, allowing the mining company to economically treat resources below former cut-off grade.

Advantages of STEINERT EddyC Eccentric Magnetic Rotors

Unlike conventional concentric designs, STEINERT EddyC non-ferrous separators position the NdFeB permanent magnet rotor eccentrically within the discharge drum. This focuses the alternating high-frequency magnetic field directly at the trajectory point where materials leave the conveyor belt.

The eccentric geometry prevents entrapment and inductive heating of residual iron particles beneath the shell, safeguarding the composite drum from thermal damage.

The unit cleanly extracts aluminium, copper, and brass across grain dimensions from half a millimetre up to two hundred fifty millimetres.

Dry Ore Beneficiation and Metal Recovery with STEINERT XSS T

STEINERT XSS T EVO 5.0 sorting platforms employ dual-energy transmission X-ray technology to gauge radiation attenuation through passing bulk materials. The system classifies individual lumps sized from 5 mm to 200 mm strictly by atomic density, independent of dust or moisture.

Because the technology operates dry without water consumption or chemical flotation agents, it is ideally suited for arid mining districts. In metal recycling, the machine cleanly isolates light aluminium from heavy non-ferrous metals like copper, brass, and zinc.

Polymer and Dark Plastic Sorting with STEINERT UniSort PR

STEINERT UniSort PR sorting machines incorporate near-infrared (NIR) hyperspectral imaging cameras with ultra-high spatial and spectral resolution. The platform reliably identifies and sorts PET, PE, PP, PS, and PVC polymers even under dusty industrial conditions.

The proprietary UniSort BlackEye sensor system resolves a major recycling hurdle by detecting carbon-black loaded polymers invisible to conventional optical sensors. High-speed acceleration conveyor belts operating at up to 4.5 m/s guarantee high throughput rates.

Heavy Machinery Protection with STEINERT MT Magnetic Systems

STEINERT overhead suspension magnets and MT magnetic drums featuring anodized aluminium ANOFOL strip windings project an exceptionally deep magnetic penetration field. They reliably extract tramp metal at operating suspension clearances up to one metre over conveyor belts.

Extracting stray excavator teeth, drill bits, and conveyor steel elements protects secondary cone and jaw crushers from catastrophic downtime. In scrap processing, STEINERT MT magnetic drums generate clean ferrous fractions ready for steelmaking furnaces.
