Sorting Robot from Machinex
Machinex, a leader in sorting technologies, has launched the SamurAI Optima sorting robot. As reported by the internationally active manufacturer, it is engineered to be the most space-efficient model in the company’s robot series. “Building on the success of the original SamurAI, the new Optima delivers the same powerful AI technology in a compact design […]
New Eriez Shred1 Data Demonstrates Scalable Copper Control and 94 Percent Melt Yield
New performance data from Eriez® shows that scrap recyclers can achieve precise copper control without compromising throughput. Full-scale installations of the Shred1 Ballistic Separator consistently deliver copper levels below 0.15 percent while processing more than 127 tonnes (140 tons) per hour. Copper contamination has traditionally forced recyclers to choose between costly melt chemistry corrections and […]
How Briquetting Helps Turn Machining Chips into a Higher-Value Recycling Stream
In metalworking, chips are generated in large volumes every day during turning, milling and sawing. Yet their loose form creates multiple disadvantages: they take up space, complicate handling and transport, often retain cooling lubricants, and can lead to material losses in downstream recycling. For recyclers, foundries and machining companies alike, the question is no longer […]
Fire Reduction by Employing AI
The German company Korn Recycling has reduced a major safety risk in its sorting plant in Albstadt: fires caused by improperly disposed lithium-ion batteries. Battery.Sort by WeSort.AI provides preventive protection for sorting facilities. As reported by the provider, the AI-powered Battery.Sort solution from Würzburg-based company WeSort.AI was integrated into the commercial waste sorting facility earlier […]
Sunnking Sustainable Solutions enhanced Capacity
To increase its recycling capacity, the New York-based company Sunnking Sustainable Solution was seeking a robust shredder with a high throughput rate that could quickly and efficiently produce a homogeneous output material, particularly suitable for shredding electronic scrap. It also needed to be possible to adjust the speed and torque for process optimization. Now the […]
First AI Optical Sorter for C&D Waste in Europe
Recycleye, the British developer of AI-powered sorting technology, has successfully commissioned its Recycleye QuantiSort unit at Heydt’s construction and demolition (C&D) waste facility in Germany. “Delivered in partnership with global plant builder specialist Stadler, the project marks a European first: the use of AI-only optical sorting to separate mineral fractions – including brick from concrete”, […]
German Technology for Polyurethane Recycling in Mexico
H&S Anlagentechnik has successfully launched a new polyurethane (PU) recycling plant in Ramos Arizpe, Mexico. The facility is operated by the Mexican division of Ikano Industry and marks the second joint project between the two partners. According to the German manufacturer, the plant is designed to recycle post-industrial PU foam waste and convert it into […]
Wire Screens for Demanding Applications
Compass Wire Cloth, a North American manufacturer of separation, sifting, and screening solutions, highlights its Piano Wire Screens – also known as Harp Wire Screens – as a “high-performance solution for operators seeking efficiency, durability, and precision in demanding screening applications”. Engineered with long wires, these screens would eliminate cross wires to achieve “the highest […]
Successful Testing of a Hydrogen-Powered Melting Furnace
In May 2025, the aluminum recycling and rolling group Speira informed about an advancement in its sustainability journey: As part of the EU-funded HyInHeat project, it has successfully converted a melting furnace with a capacity of 1.5 tons to hydrogen operation. Initial tests with various scrap types show promising results with no impact on melt […]
German Aluminum Alloy Sorting Project
Tomra Recycling and Gerhard Lang Recycling collaborate in KANAL, a pioneering aluminum alloy sorting project. As reported by Tomra Recycling Sorting, Gerhard Lang Recycling GmbH was one of the first companies globally to implement the manufacturer’s AUTOSORT PULSE system for the precision sorting of aluminum alloy stamping scrap generated from automotive production in early 2024.
