Innov-X系统and Steinert have entered into an OEM agreement to market a new high speed, x-ray fluorescence-based (XRF) sorting system that will effectively identify and remove copper containing material, such as "meatballs", from ferrous scrap. This new technology will be a welcome solution for metal recyclers worldwide who have long been challenged by copper contaminants in steel scrap product.
新的分类系统将采用Innov-X独特而验证的X-stream技术 - 高速X射线荧光（XRF）传感器单元，能够以毫米秒的时间尺度进行元素分析，并设计为工业级完整的系统，该系统已设计为该系统一直是其他Steinert分类系统的标志。该合作伙伴关系将导致世界上第一个也是唯一的工业级体系，该系统基于化学成分，以识别和提取特定的污染物。除了提供用于铜肉丸的解决方案外，Steinert还将处于独家位置，以生产和为全球市场提供一个销售众多非有产性金属回收应用的系统。
Under the agreement, Steinert will not only manufacture the equipment, but will also provide sales and marketing support for the new metal sorter. "This is exciting news for the metal recycling industry," says Don Sackett, CEO of Innov-X Systems. "Our XRF expertise combined with Steinert‟s extensive experience in metal sorting, material handling and diversion (sorting) allows us to bring this much needed technology to market in a time-frame that we could not achieve on our own."
Franz Heiringhoff, CEO of Steinert Group, says, "We are excited with the opportunity to work with Innov-X. This cooperation represents an effective solution to the problem of copper in ferrous scrap and will be the answer to current and new market demands not only in metal scrap recycling, but also in areas like plastic and wood recycling in the near future. The new sorting system will truly take metal sorting to the next level and will show big advantages to a huge range of customers. Our sales organizations worldwide are excited to start offering the new system."
Innov-X Systems是一家世界领先的XRF技术创新者，为各种行业提供手持，移动实验室和大量的在线系统。“肉丸”和非有产性应用的商业化遵循用于玻璃回收系统的成功商业化，该系统旨在自动使用XRF技术感知和去除玻璃陶瓷和铅玻璃。
将像XRF这样的杰出技术在Steinert产品线中实施是迈向回收和Steinert未来的合乎逻辑的下一步，可以为行业提供可靠的解决方案。
