S+S Separation and Sorting Technology - Separation of Metals, Foreign Bodies and “Out-of-Spec” Products, Sorting of Materials

S+S is a leading manufacturer of metal detectors, metal separators and sorting systems with a huge range of products for a wide variety of industries, in particular the packaging, food, plastics and recycling industries.

S+S metal detectors identify contaminants, foreign bodies and out-of-specification products in production lines and recycling processes. S+S separators remove contaminants, foreign bodies and out-of-specification products from production lines and recycling processes. S+S sorting systems sort mixed material flows into pure fractions.

S+S metal detectors and metal separators find and remove metal contaminants, regardless of whether they are steel, brass, aluminium or stainless steel. S+S metal detectors play an important part in the quality control of ready packed products. S+S systems secure product purity and protect production equipment. In addition to metal detectors and separators S+S offers a wide range of magnets for all conveying systems and production stages.

S+S metal separation and sorting systems play a pivotal role in ensuring that recycled materials can be incorporated in the production cycle and reprocessed: in the glass recycling and PET industries recycling rates of up to 100% are achieved.

METAL DETECTION OF PACKAGED PRODUCTS

For inspecting packaged goods S+S recommend metal detectors integrated into belt conveyors. There are however many other options for integrating metal detectors in the production process. For example, metal detectors can be installed on the input or output conveyors of checkweighers.

The RAYCON system uses highly developed X-ray technology with advanced image processing software to provide outstanding contaminant detection, as well as identifying missing, underweight or broken product.

S+S has combined this sophisticated technology with their well-proven modular design concept for conveyor belts to provide flexible solutions precisely tailored to the needs of different products and production environments. The RAYCON range accommodates an increasing focus on quality assurance in the food and packaging industries.

A variety of reject systems is available for the automatic removal of metal contaminants (air blast, pusher, sweep arm). If automatic removal is not required, S+S offers an extensive choice of marking and alarm systems. With a comprehensive range of metal detectors and over 230 different aperture sizes S+S can provide you with the best solution, ideally suited to your application and with the highest possible sensitivity. Our metal detectors are engineered precisely to meet your specific needs.

RECYCLING OF PLASTICS- AND GLASS-PACKAGING

S+S are specialists in sorting technology and offer a complete range of contaminant separation equipment. Our separation and sorting systems which remove impurities and sort good material into highly pure fractions are characterized by extremely short and precise response times. We guarantee maximum separating and sorting accuracy even at high throughput rates.
