How innovative metal sensing can drive significant savings with stainless steel extraction
The Challenge:
When our client, a company specialising in recycling of ferrous metals, faced significant challenges with their traditional separation methods, they turned to Magnapower for help.
Our client was struggling to recover non-magnetic metals, particularly stainless steel. Their current separation process was leaving them a by-product of stone and stainless steel mix, but with the current high value of stainless steel, they knew they were leaving money on the table. Therefore they were looking for a cost-effective way of extracting as much stainless steel as possible from their residual waste material.
The Solution
After discussing different options available, our client implemented Magnapower’s new induction
sensor sorting system, MS600. This innovative machine is designed to efficiently separate non magnetic metals, including high-value stainless steel, at a significantly lower cost than alternative
solutions by using a series of simple induction sensors.
Key features of the MS600 system include:
- Cost-Effective Metal Sensing: Senses non-magnetic metals at a lower cost than traditional sorting methods.
- Superior Stainless Steel Recovery: Excels at recovering high-value stainless steel, something
- traditional Eddy Current Sorting machines cannot.
- Enhanced Performance in Dusty Environments: Outperforms vision systems in dusty waste
- streams.
- Simplified Design and Remote Monitoring: Ensures ease of use and maintenance.
The Results
By adopting Magnapower’s new metal sensing and recovery system; MS600, our client achieved
remarkable results:
- Significant Cost Savings: Our client is making significant savings each month by recovering metals that it’s previous separation methods missed. As a result, payback on the MS600 has been less than 6 months.
- Increased Metal Recovery: The client now recovers an additional 8 tons of clean metal per week, most of which is high-value stainless steel.
- Enhanced Material Value: The additional recovered stainless steel significantly increases the overall value of their recovered materials
Our client’s experience demonstrates the substantial benefits and impact of Magnapower’s MS600, highlighting its potential to transform metal recovery processes for other businesses in the industry.
