Inductive Sorter— The High-Value Metal Recovery Hub at the End of the Line
Range： Sorting size: 5mm – 120mm
Application： ELV recycling plants, mixed metal recycling plants, aluminum recycling plants, motor recycling plants, ASR recovery plants
The inductive sorter is an advanced automated system based on high-sensitivity electromagnetic detection, capable of identifying and separating conductive metals such as copper, aluminum, zinc, lead, stainless steel, and alloys.Installed typically after the eddy current separator, it functions as the final recovery unit, capturing residual metals that upstream processes fail to recover.
From a system engineering perspective, its value lies in:
• Maximizing recovery rate: capturing the last 2–5% of high-value metals
• Improving purity: removing contaminants to upgrade material quality
• Releasing upstream capacity: reducing dependency on perfect shredding and increasing system tolerance
The system also allows future upgrades with AI vision or X-ray (XRT), evolving from “metal detection” to “material identification.”
