Best Screening. Best Sorting at Skrotfrag

How Screening process and material feed measurably improve non-ferrous metal processing

At the Sjövik site, north-east of Gothenburg, Skrotfrag operates one of the largest plants for recycling non-ferrous metals in Europe. The new building was built with a clear ambition: to consistently further develop the processing – towards even higher purities, better controllable Material flows and maximum utilization of the sorting technology used.

SPALECK 3C COMBI screening machine

Classification

3D COMBI screening machine for non-ferrous metals

The 3D COMBI is a top performer for recycling plants with exact Screening sizes of:

0 – 5 mm, 5 – 20 mm, 20 – 60 mm, 60 – 120 mm and > 120 mm

SPALECK ActiveFEED infeed unit for optimum material feed for sorting machines in recycling.

Online and offline lines

ActiveFEED infeed unit

Skrotfrag uses six ActiveFEED infeed units as precisely controllable clocks for the sorting technology. These are operated both online and offline.

The OUTPUT SITUATION

Getting more out of the material - in as few process steps as possible

For decades, Skrotfrag has pursued a clear approach of recovering as much recyclable material as possible – in the most efficient process steps possible.

Project objective

Maximum recovery of non-ferrous metals

3D COMBI and 6 ActiveFEEDs as team players for sorting

BEST SCREENING. BEST INFEED. For maximum sorting performance.

In the video, the Skrotfrag experts provide insights into the planning, goals and operation of their state-of-the-art recycling plant.

The combination of the SPALECK 3D COMBI screening machine and the 6 SPALECK ActiveFEED infeed units enables a very precisely controllable system operation. Whether online with the screening machine and one ActiveFEED or offline with the other five ActiveFEEDs:

The recycling material is fed to the sorting devices precisely, efficiently and accurately. This reduces production costs and increases output and sorting quality.

The spaleck solution

Intelligent material feed and clean Screening sizes as the key to Efficiency

At the heart of the system is the combination of precise screening and controllable material feed.

Screening technology produces defined grain bands, while the ActiveFEED systems transfer the respective Material flow evenly and reproducibly to the sorting units at the touch of a button.

The result is constant process conditions, higher sorting quality and a precisely adjustable throughput.

Technology

Technical details at a glance

The non-ferrous metal recycling plant in Sjövik was consistently designed as a complete system. Screening technology, material feed and sorting technology are interlinked and enable highly Efficiency operation with throughputs that can be controlled at the touch of a button, high material purities and process-optimized plant operation.

Precise classification with the 3D COMBI

The double-deck Vibrating screen separates the material into defined Particle sizes 0 – 5 mm, 5 – 20 mm, 20 – 60 mm, 60 – 120 mm and > 120 mm. This produces clearly defined fractions that are optimally matched to the sorting technology.

Uniform, trouble-free material feed thanks to ActiveFEED

The ActiveFEEDs ensure continuous and personnel-minimized material feeding and supply. The desired throughput is selected at the touch of a button and kept constant during operation.

Plannable throughput during operation

The system makes it possible to adapt the Material flow exactly to the requirements of the material or process. Throughput, quality and personnel deployment can be specifically coordinated.  

No bottlenecks in processing

All components are integrated into a higher-level plant control system. This means that the Screening process, material feed and sorting work as a coordinated unit.

TRANSFERABILITY for your preparation

Concepts for sophisticated metal recycling processes

The project shows that the quality of the processing is largely determined by the upstream process steps. The combination of classification and controlled material feed can be transferred to many applications:

Yes, the 3D COMBI is a screening machine that is very good at Screening and Classifying moist and sticky material. With our ModularDESIGN+ concept, we offer you many customization options specifically for your recycling material.

And the best thing is: if the humidity level increases or decreases with the seasons, for example, you can easily adjust the 3D COMBI accordingly.

Here you will find a field report from one of Germany’s leading compost producers, who uses the 3D COMBI to produce the best premium quality all year round with great precision.
