Sorting, selection, separation for recovery ferrous metals

Ultimately, at the end of the process and according to the materials fed into the system, the selected materials may consist of mixed metals, steel, rubber and iron, and according to the product characteristics, these materials may be:

- sold as Secondary Raw Materials or End of Waste, provided that they meet the relevant product and chemical and physical criteria;

- sent as waste for other definitive recycling/disposal operations by duly authorised external plants;

- sent as intermediate product to other systems within the RMB platform (for example, to the manual sorting section to separate the different metals).

All processes are performed with due care and attention to safeguarding the environment; in fact, the selection and screening processes are all monitored by a suitable emission containment system.

The plant is doubtless representative of RMB’s excellence. In fact, the sorting, selection, separation and recovery of ferrous and non-ferrous metals are the company’s main activities. The latest in modern technology together with thirty years of experience, have made it possible to achieve the highest recovery standards, even for the finest parts.

RMB has an articulated section, consisting of different systems in sequence, to perform dedicated selections of different types of material. The system can separate metals from inert/sterile materials such as rubber, plastic, and wood. The physical principle of selection makes use of eddy currents, magnetic systems, optical recognition and air separation systems.

The following recycling stages are carried out by applying successive processes:

- Separation of ferrous metals;

- Separation of non-ferrous metals;

- Manual sorting of recyclable materials.
