New sorting technology for the separation into different aluminium alloys

摘要

Aluminium plays a key role in mobility. One of the main reasons for this is that more and more vehicle bodies are made of aluminium. The Ford F-150 pickup and the laguar XE are just two prominent examples of this trend towards automobiles containing large amounts of aluminium. It's obvious that this development increases the demand for high-quality aluminium. At the same time, up to 50% of the material used in the stamping processes common in mass production operations was wasted because there was no way of separating the production waste for recycling. This situation has now changed, because the Steinert LSS (Laser Sorting System) enables alloys to be cleanly separated from one another.
