PURE-GRADE WOOD PRODUCTS AND METAL RECOVERY Wood is a highly demanded raw material.

Due to its versatility, this renewable natural product is now used in particular by the processing industry, moving away from a primary use for waste to energy (WtE). The amount of waste wood is growing all the time.

In order to meet the needs of a volatile market and rising demand, waste wood can be recovered from sources such as construction and demolition waste and bulky waste.

Valuable metals, pure-grade wood products and even high-quality fresh-wood fractions can be separated out in the process.

STEINERT provides customised sorting concepts and solutions covering the entire spectrum of separation and sorting requirements. These supply valuable products for the recycling industry and form the basis for products made from secondary raw materials.

WOOD WASTE 23.indd 2

This Solution Guide presents examples of procedures which can be combined to cover everything from cleaning metals and minerals from wood waste to pure-grade

// Special sorted products + Ferrous and non-ferrous metals (with and without stainless steel) + Fresh wood + Chipboard

// Alongside mechanical magnetic separation, STEINERT provides unique sensor sorting machines for the recovery of pure-grade products for the secondary raw materials industry

+ Multiplex + OSB + MDF + Minerals & broken glass

+ Magnets for separating ferrous parts + Non-ferrous metal separator + X-ray and induction sensor sorting machines + Near-infrared sorting machines with hyperspectral imaging technology

STEINERT BR

Self-cleaning overhead suspension magnets reliably extract coarse iron. The overhead suspension magnet is arranged above a feeding conveyor belt and extracts the feragainst the force of gravity.

The STEINERT BR is a magnetic head pulley that can be integrated into an existing conveyor belt as a machine component. Working alongside the self-cleaning overhead suspension magnets, this allows materials with low levels of magnetism to be sorted

STEINERT MTE/MTP

STEINERT EddyC¨

Magnetic drums are usually used in the line to separate free iron and ferrous compounds before the next sorting stages.

Magnetic components of various grain size

The eddy current separator can be used wherever non-ferrous metals can be recovered or separated. Using eddy current technology, it produces marketable non-ferrous metal mixes containing aluminium, copper, zinc or brass.

and can be fed back into the process if necessary.

STEINERT XSS ¨ T EVO 5.0

The STEINERT ISS ¨ induction sorting machine is an addition to magnetic sorting and eddy-current separation for recovering residual metals from a mix of materials . It can be deployed where the focus is on producing recoverable metal concentrate s or producin g a metal-free residual fraction.

The STEINERT XSS ¨ T EVO 5.0 is used for densit y-based sorting Ð for example, to separate stone and gla ss from wood.

UniSort Black

The UniSort PR EVO 5.0 is used wherever NIR technolo gy is needed to sort recyclable material. The UniSort PR EVO 5.0 is a sorting machine that uses hyperspec tral imaging camera technolog y to sort various types of plastic, paper & cardboard as well as wood produc ts.

The UniSort Black is used wherever NIR technolo gy is needed to sort recyclable material and where black and dark-coloured plastics are also to be detected alongside the plastics which can traditional ly be detected with NIR. It is designed, in particular, for producin g a black plastic produc t or generating plastic-free mineral fractions.
