Metal recycling
Metal recycling is becoming increasingly important and is proving crucial to our economy. FEnX-T XRF analysers, designed and manufactured by the Physitek Group, are ideal for recyclers seeking the exact composition of their alloys. FEnX-T spectrometers are used to identify and sort metals. Analyses are performed directly on the scrap yard, with fast and accurate results.
FEnX-T, portable XRF analysers for metal recycling
Metal recyclers play a fundamental role. This is all the more crucial in a context where the environment is at the centre of our concerns and where strategic metals are becoming essential from a sustainability and economic perspective. Recyclers collect, sort, process and recover metal waste. The challenge lies in sorting it correctly. There are many different types of metals. Aluminium, copper, lead, zinc, chromium, nickel, tin, stainless steel (composed mainly of iron, then nickel, chromium, molybdenum, etc.) …
How can these metals be distinguished? Experienced recyclers use their knowledge. But not everything is visible to the naked eye. This is where X-ray fluorescence becomes a valuable tool for these professionals.
FEnX-T analyses metal waste
FEnX-T portable XRF analysers assist recyclers throughout the various stages of the metal recycling cycle. During collection, recyclers can purchase materials in bulk. Their goal is to determine the grades of their alloys in order to sort them and resell them at the best price to steelworks and foundries. The FEnX-T verifies the purchased material. When sorting metals, FEnX-T analysers answer questions and remove potential doubts: Iron or stainless steel? 304 or 316? 6000 series or 5000 series aluminium ? The exact grades are revealed by FEnX-T XRF analysers.
FEnX-T, the premium analyser for recyclers
FEnX-T is the ultimate analyser: equipped with cameras, reinforced protection and the ability to analyse light elements.
FEnX-T Starter, the optimal analyser for recyclers
The fast and robust FEnX-T Starter is an optimal and economical choice for recyclers who do not have light elements to analyse.
